jman Five Star Member rbent member Posts: 644	What's Your Fav Lube Brand? Jul 12^th, 2008, 10:14am While reading a lube thread on the AB reflector, one lube stuck out as a very good product line to convert to when I restock next month. ( http://www.progoldmfr.com/products/prodindex.html ) Do any here have any experience with this product line and if so how do you think it stands up to all the good pr the company post about it?

Reply #2 - Jul 14^th, 2008, 7:00pm I use the ProLink on the bikes I ride the most (Corsa and SXP), lubing very often, and use Dumonde Tech on the lower mileage bikes where I expect it to last longer. Chain lube seems to end up being a personal thing; everyone does it his own way.

I've used a couple others in the past, including the much-ballyhooed Purple Extreme (which I didn't like because it attracted too much dirt). I've used Prolink exclusively since switching to the recumbent and have been very happy with it.

Reply #4 - Jul 16^th, 2008, 8:25am I've been using the Rock and Roll Gold for about a year now with good results. For years I just used 3 in 1 oil and wiped it off good once a week. Anything works pretty well If you hit it a lick every 100-200 miles. Take Care, Nelson.

Reply #6 - Jul 17^th, 2008, 1:16pm The lick I'm talking about takes less than a minute, a few seconds of lube application, and a few seconds spinning through a rag, sometimes spot cleaning the derailleur pulleys. I ride several different bicycles, so each rarely needs it more than twice a month. Take Care, Nelson.

Kwijybow Five Star Member mostly a commuter Posts: 1026	Re: What's Your Fav Lube Brand? Reply #14 - Sep 17^th, 2008, 8:55pm Well my take on the Ernesto lube isn't good. Seems to last well, but it gets a little gummy, and the chain gets very dirty as a result. I cleaned it off and reapplied my current favorite Rock'n Roll Gold. much better, but it might take a few weeks to get all the Soybean juice off. Take Care, Nelson.
