When you say you wipe your chain off pre ride, you mean you just grab a cloth and hold it on the sides while you rotate the pedals a few times?
Spot on. I like the 100% cotton painters rags available from Home Depot. I did wipe the chain off in the morning because I (cough) failed to do so the evening before. Generally speaking it is a good idea to wipe the chain after each ride. Also, for good measure I wipe off the inside of the chain rings and poke my finger / cloth against the jockeys. It only takes a few seconds.

Poking jockeys? He's a sick man.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
One word of advice when using NFS...the extra quiet chain will reveal worn out chainrings and that first generation SRAM Red cassettes make all sorts of annoying sounds. It ends up being an expensive upgrade.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
can this be shipped internationalmo? i'm almost out of my prolink and the months of winter drizzle are coming/have arrived.
-
re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
Yup. This stuff works. 25 moist miles last night, the last 7 or so in the rain, never even a single squeak.

If I can't carry it onto the airplane....
No, I don't think that will happen not to mention NAHBS is about the guys who pay for their tables and stand behind them all day. I'm not THAT guy!!!

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
NFS shipping this week 2/5/2013 is waaaay ahead of the curve :)
I've shipped all orders up to the day.
If you have something in "pending" status it is due to PayPal clearing your status. Don't blame the chef!!! But seriously, if you don't know why your status is pending PM me and we'll figure it out.
I thank you for the orders. Ride alot ok?

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
Dustin that's pretty impressive work there son. Thanks.
Folks, I ran out of shipping boxes this weekend. EVERYTHING ordered since last week ships tomorrow 2/12/13.
Keep a sharp eye, tee shirts are in the works.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
Dear Sweden, Bosnia, Cameroon et. al. I am reluctant to ship. It's me not you, the cost exceeds the product price and that seems nuts. PM me if disagree. Thanks for the compliments and attention, maybe I'll figure out a less expensive way to ship overseas. What the he!! ever happened to carrier pigeons???
Orders rec'd 2/10 or earlier are all shipped as of yesterday. NFS world headquarters just got slammed with a big order....I'm running a wee bit behind shipping the next back so our normal lightning fast instant gratification shipping department says to tell you to go have a smoke or something it will get there!
Best, TT and the Instant Gratification Crew of one.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
Forget what I said. Woke up early this morning and shipped everything 2/14/13 !!!!! Enjoy. See y'all at NAHBS. I'm the tall guy ;)

No sir. I did not pay for a table at NAHBS yo. I'll create a discount coupon for the NAHBS-ters who shake my hand. After the event, send me a PM to remind me and I'll abide.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
I'll make it a point to search you out, although I was already planning on it.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
I put this liquid gold on mine and my wife's bikes. Two rides in, no wipe, still very quiet.
I put some of my old stock of Prolink on my friend's bike instead of the NFS. Does this make me a bad person?
Great lube.
-
re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
Well, as they say, without pictures it never happened.
Had a sloppy ride on the Zanconato on Monday. Wiped it down just now and cleaned the chain (not the inner ring apparently well enough) and everything else. Gonna test this stuff on a late afternoon spin in the DC area. Maybe head down to Haines Point for a lap or two.
TooTall helped me out with this on a the solitary Friday morning coffee in the District I was able to attend. Wish I could do that more often.
Time's awastin'.... Report later.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
Order placed ... I'll report back on product's results from north of the 49th. Can't believe I'm this excited to try some chain lube :)

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
It happened yesterday, paid visit to a friend of mine and enjoyed an afternoon of mountain riding. After the first 24 km
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3...2018.10.25.jpg
chain is still clean. No noise
At the end of the ride, after washing bikes riding along a trail that turned into a stream, chain is dirty but rolls smooth and quietly

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
EVERYTHING outstanding from last week shipped :) YES even Hi and Sweden, it seems I've figured out international shipping. Hello Australia, make sure your address in PP is correct and just fake it on : BallersRide Use your real name etc. and a bogus address I'll pick it up from PP.
BallersRide Tee shirts VERY LIMITED run are available from BallersRide starting this wed. evening.

AND very soon we'll start to produce Baller F'ING Bike stickers for under and over clearcoat.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
We here at NFS World Headquarters are pretty darn proud and humbled that the esteemed Signature Cycles of Greenwich, CT asked us to be the shop chainlube. Signature Cycles are one of those rare breeds who takes their work very seriously. When they asked, it was not a simple "hey can you sell us lube?". It was more along the lines "we want to provide our customers with small bottles of your NFS *co-branded as a way to say thank you and encourage good bicycle maintenence practices" or something to the effect...that's class.
Thank you gents. I'm shipping the first 100 bottles this friday.
*See the custom co-branded lables on the far left designed by our very own ElvisMeckx.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
I have my first ride on NFS and I can confirm that it works nicely in the sunny land of Bermuda. Nice and quiet. I must admit that I cheated a little. I couldn't fathom that it would take only ten drops.... so I put on 15 or 18 and after giving the chain a good run through, I wiped the sideplates hard as TT recommends.
The best part is the ease of application. I was using Chain-L and I found it such a PITA to apply and not have it end up everywhere.
Thanks Josh.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
Feels good to be back to normal.
All NFS orders ship NLT this friday.
You are very welcome in BERMUDA you lucky dog.
Please allow me this break in the forum rules to talk about NFS here.
Thanks for all the terrific feedback. I'm using this thread as a source of constant feedback.
Stay in touch, the product in it's current formula is proving to be one of the best bicycle chainlubes available. BUT WAIT there might be more ;) No kidding, within the next 6 months I'll have finished with a new project to provide a ne plus ultra (no name yet) version of NFS. Hint...it's non-toxic, odorless, colorless and one more thing I can't reveal. Modern chemistry is a wonderful thing. ****I'm taking names for testing*** If you meet my standard and the product goes to retail you'll have a lifetime supply. Want to take a shot??? Here are the basics: Ride a min. of 5,000 documented miles per year, have 500 posts on the forum and you wipe your frickin' chain after every ride ;) First 10 grab the brass ring.

You saying this new even better version is going to loose that "scent" the current version has?

You lost me at wiping the chain after every ride... And I don't think I have 500 posts yet.

SpeedGal - sorry hun, this new product will have almost no smell. This is product testing yo, it's going to take time and tweaks to get it right.
Turkish, we can talk offline.
I've got 1,2,3 folks so far.

New ad campaign:
NFS II - Now with more PEOPLE!!!
I'm telling you guys, when the secret ingredient gets out it's not going to be pretty.
I'd be a happy tester and perfectly willing to purchase bottles #2, 3, 4, 5 and pass on the lifetime supply. Unless one bottle *is* a lifetime supply.
Upon Edit ... only 400 posts. Oh well. Maybe in 2015.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
At 5 drops per week the current bottle I have is a lifetime supply. It's like magic. I like this stuff so much I'm going to order a bunch and give away a bottle with every frame I sell. It's good stuff.

re: NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over
Is it true that NFS II will contain 300 energy-filled calories for emergency anti-bonk and taste like Ardbeg watered down with a small ice cube? Send mine with an octagonal glass, please.
