NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over

Them be some purty wheels buster.

NFS worked very well during the girls cross-country trip. Now we're going to see how well it works in Mexico for the next six months.

Hearing this really gives me goosebumps. What they did is pretty darn amazing.
Any chance we can see a picture of the crew?

All the TransAmerica pics are stored on home computer. We'll be back in 5 more months.

It was a very tough trip for them, a couple of 60 year old women on a self supported tour. Camped and cooked out most nights. Met some interesting/terrific folks along the way, learned a lot about themselves. They're talking about doing it again in a couple of years on the Northern Tier route.

Now let me think on this one ... Chamois Cream ... let's see ... the point of the stuff is to help keep excess moisture out of the pores and to lubricate the bottom side. Hey, how about "Nix Frix Shun?" Do I win?

Baller's Ride Nix Frix Shun chamois cream. I can't think of a spot where nixing Frix shun matters more.

What's the word on using NFS for firearms? Striped down my 1911 today and since I moved the shop away from home all the oils moved as well. So I've got time to contemplate which one of the dozen oils at the shop to use.

Although we have long guns around here for varmint eradication, I haven't done any maintenance on them recently. But I can say that NFS for lathe maintenance is amazing. Jeff just disassembled and rebuilt our three-jaw chuck and it is now WAY better than new. And I'd think the application is similar. But since I suspect that you aren't mounting your firearms down on your right chain stay for those rain rides, you may want to consider the Silca version. It is a bit lighter and a tad slicker. It just doesn't hold up to water and dirt as well. My 0.02.

Jason, it would be fine for that BUT I do love EEXOX and have been using that for like forever. Since I've got a can of that I've never thought to try NFS. Bottomline, I'd go with something made for firearms and highly recommended for that. I've got zero issues with it being on a gun for storage all that said.

Read here, I think this guy does a decent breakdown of the popular brands >> The Gun Zone -- Corrosion Test

Spring cleaning for the Hampsten single speed. This might get ridden tomorrow. I've ridden all my bikes this year except this one and it's time. And it was dirty.

A bit of NFS love on the chain and threaded Paul Components chain tension adjusters. Riding in the rain can be very destructive if you don't keep threaded stuff oiled. A drop here and there does the trick.

Dewd, lovely pic. and totally appreciate you working that bottle to it's logical conclusion OMG that is ancient. IIRC I had not even produced sample sized labels yet so I cut a regular one in half!!!

Well play.

[Matthew Strongin]

Here's a quick testimony. 9 days ago I got to Italy for some riding. Built my bike, lubed my chain with NFS, and off we went. I proceeded to bury myself with around 34 hours, 500+ miles and 50K feet of climbing. Most days were dry, some were damp, one was soaking wet. It occurred to me this morning that I never actually lubed my chain a second time. It was still quiet. Stuff is good.

[Pi Guy]

Let me enable you.

Jason,
Do yourself a huge favor and "accidentally" spill, lose, drop or loan whatever you have left and start fresh. You will not be disappointed.

Tee hee, how did I miss this? My current (non-NFS) lube will now go on every kiddie gate, door hinge, mail box flag, and whatever other household pivots I can find, whether they squeak or not. Soon!

Handbuilt Guide just posted a nice review of NFS >>> Review: NixFrixShun Ultimate Chain Lube

Thanks much we like your publication ALOT!

Hey Josh,

Just got a used wheelset with Chris King R45. Not that they for sure need it, but I want to do a bearing and ring drive cleanout/relube, just because that's how I am. Is the NFS race greas the right thing for the bearings? I have some dumonde tech freehub oil for the ring drive, but please advise . . .

[Too Tall]

Use NFS Ultimate chainlube for the ring drive and Race Grease for the bearings. Both are going to do you right.

Myself like most of you "out there" have seen hubs and bearings we've serviced many years ago using Phil Wood returned and the grease is still working. NFS Ultimate and NFS Race Grease are both made alot better than PW ever was made not that it needed to be made better. I'll go out on a limb and say that NFS will be there many years down the road when we crack open old hubs and bearings we will find NFS products quietly doing their job.

[Matthew Strongin]

Nice work, boss!

[David Tollefson]

I'll be offering my wrenching services at the Bonney Lake Triathlon tomorrow morning. Anyone who should need chain lube will be receiving NFS. And yes, there will be a few.

[Too Tall]

Excellent Dave, always giving back that's nice. How was the event?

Oh, I have some janky stickers to give away at Philly Bike Expo.

TT...that sticker sure would look good on my RocketBox.

That could be arranged. The stickers are not here yet, once they arrive I'll send you the goods.
