White Lightning Original chain lube
I have used White Lightning Original for about 4 years, it is a fantastic chain lube for dry and intermediate conditions. I believe it is a wax emulsion dispersed in a very mild solvent. Whatever, I find gear changes are very smooth and importantly it does not attract dirt and mud onto the chain in the same way that conventional oils seem to.I have found that the following procedure gives the best results. When you first start to use it on a chain shake the bottle until there is no residue visible at the bottom, then apply to a clean (throughly degreased and dried) dry chain while rotating the chain backwards, leave overnight to dry, then repeat the process for 3 days. This seems to allow the lube to throughly penetrate into all the pin/plate joints. Subsequent applications are a single dose on the chain after the bike has been cleaned.
Although sold as a dry weather chain lube I use it from March to October, a period that includes many wet and muddy rides. Highly recommended.
