Not to mention it makes me very nervous knowing this stuff is a two in one product.....Ive run machinery alll my life and these wonder 2-in-1 products normally have a price to pay for their convienience later on. (no offense to those who use it)
I plan on getting the best oil I can find, and keeping the chain very clean (Im cleaning it now even when we arent riding due to the cold just to have an excuse to mess with the bike
)
I have tried alot of lubes(not all
) through the years & my favorites come out to be #1 Purple Extreme
#2 Prolink. 1st costs abit more but lasts quite abit longer per application. Both are clean. but PE is a tad cleaner & holds up a tad better in wet conditions.
