Gold Chain Lubricant, 16-Ounce Complete Kit w/ 4oz Bottle & Applicator

This is the same Rock N Roll lube the Buck knife factory store uses. It cleans, lubes and seals a knife hinge very well. If you think about it a hinge joint is essentially a half-link chain. It is easy to apply and works into the joint well. Once applied it lasts a very long time keeping out water, mud, crud and blood. I've stopped by the Buck factory store in Post Falls ID and this is what they recommend and use on the hinge of the pocket knives. It works great on regular lock-backs and auto's. This wax lube makes knives work fast and smooth and is better than any gun oil, knife lube, sewing machine oil or fishing reel oil, I have tried and I have tried many.

I like this product because it makes maintenance easy. It does a nice job of cleaning and lubricating all in one shot. This is because it has a combination of solvents, oils, and other stuff. In that sense, it's similar to a product like WD-40, but the difference is that you also get very nice and long-lasting lubrication.It is fairly runny for a wet lube, which actually makes it easy to apply. You may end up using more, but the 16 oz. package will last you a long time anyway.The lube comes with directions which are rather unprofessionally printed (lol). Unlike the instructions say, I don't drip it over the chain at the cassette/freewheel. I don't see any reason to risk getting lube anywhere besides the chain bearings, because I'm afraid it will attract grime. Instead, I shift into the outermost chainring/rear gear combination and drip it from the top along the bottommost run of the chain while freewheeling backwards. I then spin it through a rag to clean the excess off, which also brings a ton of black gunk out of the chain. Cycle through all the gears and chainrings in hopes of naturally spreading just a dab over the teeth of the gears, then the chain through the rag a couple more times for more cleaning and getting all the excess off.One alarming thing I've heard about from multiple people is that Rock 'N' Roll tends to congeal in cold weather and will not function correctly. I've never tried it in the winter before, but the idea of that happening makes me nervous, and I don't really want to find out the hard way that my lube has partially solidified. So I'll probably use a different lube over the winter and use this as my easy-cleaning maintenance for the rest of the year.

I started with a super clean chain. Applied just a drop on each link over two complete revolutions of the chain (not streaming it like they recommend). I then spun the chain backwards a few minutes while wiping off as much as possible. Let it sit overnight. I rode about 100 miles, then simply repeated without cleaning. The chain stayed extremely clean and quiet. After the second 100 miles I repeated again (without cleaning) and again extremely quiet and clean. After about 50 miles later (a total of about 250 miles from the original cleaning/start), I gave it a super good clean and captured the water in bucket. It only needed about one quart of soapy water sprayed onto the chain with simple toothbrush and I was amazed the amount of black coming off was really about 1/3 of what am used to after such riding. Also, it cleaned up really like three times easier! Lastly over the entire approximately 250 miles, the chain stayed nearly completely free of the black mess when touching the chain! That alone is very helpful. The riding was done over mostly streets and cold, often damp, but not quite freezing temperatures. Oh, also, all this used 2.5 ounces...so each ounce gets about 100 miles of riding doing as I have done, so this 16 ounce bottle will provide about 1,600 miles! It also saves a lot of cleaning fluid as I did not need degreasers...just a very good soap cleaner was used. Overall, the best I've used and won't look elsewhere.

Cleans and lubes, and sticks to the chain. Does not stay wet.

I think this is a great product. I had originally placed an order for the smaller size bottle just to try it out per a recommendation from a friend. I love it! My chain and cogs have never been cleaner and I'm sure my drivetrain is very happy. You can be extremely generous with this lube(it says to do so on the instructions even while aimed on the rear cassette). Just be sure you have something to catch the drippings! I will agree with some other reviewers that say it's rather hard transporting the lube from the big bottle to the provided small bottle. I wish there was an easier way for what they provide but I had some spillage. Not a huge deal but it would be nice to consider that for future production. Overall though I'm very satisfied with how this was packaged, how well the product works, and the price. Really the only downside is just moving it from the big bottle to the little one.

We use this for MTB riding. Lots of dust in the summer and mud in the winter. This works great in both.For dry conditions, I do clean the chain well, then lube and do a little wipe down. After I let it setup, hopefully overnight. Before I ride, I will wipe down the chain again. This keeps the chain pretty clean and dust free for at least two if not three rides. Normally at the end of the third ride I can start to hear the drive train. Nothing horrible, but the first signs of the waxes getting gunked up. At this point I can use more RnR Gold and wipe off and have a noise free ride the next time, but having to re-lube after each one or I can clean the drive train and be worry free for another two or three rides.In the winter mud, I generally clean my bike with a hose after each ride and brush the chain off and re-lube. Once dry, I wipe it down. That's good for another noise-free ride. Even wet, this stuff continues to work.100% recommend.This large bottle comes with enough to refill your little 4 oz bottle 4 times. There's a marble in the bottle to help free-up the solids. Overall, this is a great way to have a large quantity of RnR Gold on hand.
