white lightning lubricant

[meteogeek]

ANyone here ever use White Lightning lube? I see that they make the stuff for both bike chains and knives/multitools. Anyone know whether the same solution is actually used for both bike chains and knives or are there two different solutions depending on the actual application?

Thanks in advance.

I have used this product on two of my knives and so far it's pretty slick. They open so smooth that I can now snap the blades open with centrifugal(?) force, a technically illegal thing to do here in The Great White North

I've used it for years on Bicycle chains, its the best for dirty conditions, sheds or doesn't collect dirt, used same stuff on knife pivots, springs, works great. Shake it well and wipe up spills before it dries.

Used on my BM 710 Axis. Great at first. Then it began collecting pocket debris. Was a waxy gritty paste before long. Gave the lock a gritty feel (which the Axis is prone to anyway, more than liner locks).

I am a mountain biker also. Wax is a very poor lubricant. Otherwise, why wouldn't the automotive industry use it? There is science behind this statement... trust me.

You must use large quantities of this waxy lube on mountain bike chains, or you squeak veyr soon. We have found numerous better products for the often dusty, sandy, and muddy riding in Louisiana. Prolink (very good), Rock n Roll lube (very good), and ATB II (best) to name the best.

Save your money on this waxy sludge.

Mainstream: TriFlow is excellent. You might find Prolink or Rock n Roll at bike shops. Otherwise, try Militec perhaps.
