  1. Walmort now carries Castrol boat trailer wheel bearing grease at this
    time replacing Pennzoil's products. This may be related to the
    rumored mass Pennzoil suicides. I tried the Castrol BTWBG and found it
    reduces friction substantially more than the Pennzoil. Next week I'll
    pack deray pulley wheels with it and report back after use. Replacing
    deray pulley wheels is a mid winter tune up and parts are available
    from snowbound and underworked LBS. Buy your stuff now while the LBS
    people are still human following the xmass cash intake. Castrol BTWBG
    has potential for longer running wheels given the excrement and dung
    pulley wheels slop through. The color sucks; P.Wood it's not.

    And there's a can of auto tire patch cement in the Wal tire repair
    area-Victor-generally thought to be a lesser or economy brand but
    it's there if you can't get over to NAPA for the real stuff: 8oz
    can of BalKamp
    765-1198 Napa Universal Cement. Excellent for self sealing tubes!

    Sheldon Brown in a recent reference from the Sheldon Brown's-Harris
    Cyclery Encylcopediac reference site following an auto transmission
    fluid user post wrote that hot gear oil applications or gear oil for
    cycle chains caused grit build up in-between side plates.
    I am using Valvoline 70-140 synthetic transmission oil in a warm
    climate, cleaning once a week or as needed after rain or accidentally
    plowing expletive deleted through beach sand avoiding drunken SUV
    pilote , and find no more dirt in the plates than the accumulation from
    Epic from Finish Line butbutbut probably much less with the Valvo
    Synth. It is warmer here than in Boston-usually above 50 with winter
    road high averages around 75.
    I have used hot gear oil with pleasure as the stuff is very slippery
    but that was not synthetic oil. The non-synth may need a shorter
    cleaning interval but the synth runs good all week.

    sofar for the lube news.

    Thanks for the info, I've used the Pennzoil BTWBG for a long time, and
    due to buy another tub of it soon; I'll try the Castrol instead.

  4. where's the translation button?

  5. comes in a $2 tube. Soooooooo much slipperier that "it would be hard to
    believe" that the viscousity and wash out resistance would not be
    better, a big deal as "long-term" viscousity keeps dirt from entering
    and grinding the expletive deleted plain bearings

    translated not by me, but by means of Babelfish
    <http://world.altavista.com/tr>
    all types of typos have been put in place by news://news.nb.nu
    (replace collar by chain coz chain and collar are two translations of one
    word in Dutch [ketting]).

    What is SupremeBlack? SupremeBlack a dry lubricant has been developed
    especially on the basis of wax and for lubricating the chain of the ATB.
    Because the smeerfilm are dry and no dirt takes the maintenance is
    restricted up to minimum and the life span of collar and cog wheels is
    extended. Important properties with which SupremeBlack distinguish
    themselves of other lubricants are: very simple in maintenance complete dry
    land not polluting beschermlaag long-term protection excellent
    smeereigenschappenn minimum clogging of collar and cog wheels By these
    properties the wear of collar and cog wheels is noticeably lower than at use
    of other lubricants. To let penetrate to SB well in all parts of the collar,
    so that the lubricant comes also there where it must sit, namely on the turn
    points in the collar, must the wax thinly liquid be. For this reason SB
    contain a solvent (isopropyl alcohol). After introducing the collar must dry
    tijdje to let evaporate to the solvent. There does not remain a dry land
    sticking coating behind the those turn points in the collar concludes for
    the indringen of dirty. Outside the turn points love dirt is the most
    important property as a result of which exuberant wear is prevented.
    Introducing: For use SupremeBlack thorough opgeschud must become. At the
    first time must apply SB very generously (against dripping to) be produced.
    Easiest this will the collar twisting reverse and off the cassette SB on the
    collar to drip. You want a perfect partitioning, turn the collar then slowly
    round and leg on every link a drop lubricant. For reaching the optimum
    properties SB must dry at least one number of hours (dependent on
    temperature) but bijvoorkeur 24 hours. If the solvent has evaporated,
    remains a beautiful not sticky black collar. Redundant lubricant crumbles
    during use automatically from the collar. Maintenance: The wax form dry a
    film which takes no dirt. Thus there no aankoeken on the cog wheels arise
    like at oil or. The maintenance of the collar lubricated with SupremeBlack
    is because of this extremely simple: collar hoses with water dry with a doek
    again wax introduce Important SupremeBlack do not mix with the gangbare
    lubricants. If a collar for the first time with SB is lubricated for this
    reason the collar is advise it very thorough of oil or strip. As from the
    first smeerbeurt optimally of Sb-smering to be able profit to be advised the
    collar firstly good rinse in a solvent (e.g. wasbenzine). Preferably the
    collar leaves a etmaal in the solvent weeks, to clean it internal of the
    collar well. The two largest advantages at the use of SB are the easy
    maintenance and the long life span of collar and cog wheels. Concerning the
    maintenance you can observe immediately that SB are very easy. There are no
    more solvents necessary, because SB build no dirt on the cog wheels such as
    oil or that does. Under dry circumstances is enough regularly lubricates
    (approx. every 150 a 200 km) by dripping a beetje SB on the collar. After
    hose a wet or muddy ride, collar with water and after dry again SB
    introduce. The extended life span of the collar and determine cog wheels is
    not of course this way easily. If control would be possible, I the next
    guarantee want give. - On ATB a collar lubricated with SB under the most
    extreme circumstances go along minimum 2000 km (to the standard 0.75%
    lengthenings). - Must be obtained on the racefiets minimum 10,000 km.

    Welcome at SupremeBlack

    Concerning the maintenance of the bicycle chain the most divergent tales do
    the round. The most important reason for this is that there are evenzoveel
    factors the that life span of the collar influence. To call some:
    Lubricant, smeertechniek, manner of to clean/interval, file style,
    acceleration choice, circumstances, ondergrond on which is cycled etc.

    The result is, which many cyclists follow their own maintenance procedure
    more or less adapted to the personal circumstances. I consider it also
    improbable, that an universal procedure exists there, which covers all
    circumstances.

    With the information on this Internet site I hope more provide insight in
    the maintenance of the collar to cyclists. The information on this Internet
    site has been based on my own experience and my own theory and like already
    is said the conceptions about this very diverse. I it for this reason nobody
    will take evil if one it once is not all along the line with me.

    Yes, good stuff!

    We find grease stays cleaner in a tube than in a tub:
