Rock N Roll Gold Chain Lube
I have read good things about Rock N Roll Gold chain lube following my LBS recommending it and using it in their shop. Looking for comments on it from people who have used it.
I am not looking for recommendations on other chain lube products, as that opens the same rat hole that this forum has dived into many times already. Thanks.

RnR Gold works fine. Used to use it but am now using RnR's "Holy Cow" instead (if your LBS also stocks this).

It's fine. Shake well. Remember to wipe chain really well after application to minimize attracting dirt/gunk.

I didn't like it. Needed more frequent application than NFS lube, which happens to be the best lube in the galaxy.

Has anyone ever counted how many chain lube threads have existed on BF over the years? Something as simple as lubing your chain...Do these type of posts really need to exist?
Just find some lube and use whatever makes you happy fercripesakes.

Waxing should be more popular.

And as has been pointed out already, bf is full of these threads. Use the Search function. Or google.

I gave you 5 links to reviews of Rock N Roll Gold in post 5. 2 of them are actual Bike Forums threads on Rock N Roll Gold.

For the record, I use Yacht Rock Platinum. It's a lot smoother than the Rock N Roll Gold.

I’ve used it, it seems to be adequate. If you don’t want to hear other options it may be difficult for others to offer comparisons.
buy a small bottle and try it for yourself. It’s probably like $10.00 at a LBS. since it won’t destroy your chain, even if your not fond of it, it should be close enough to adequate for you to use the bottle without wasting it. If it’s a big turn off, give it to another cyclist, someone will use it.
