Fun Time  Lube Cherry Lubricant Gel Water Based Red, 75 Ml

Product Information

Some lubricants are also sold as aerosols, but we wouldn’t recommend these for lubricating chains because they’re very difficult to apply precisely.

As well as correct lubrication, drivetrain efficiency is dependent on things such as cleanliness, chain line, and the size of the chainrings and cogs in your drivetrain. I've used it on everything in the hangun loads from hot loads on the 500 to pimple loads on the 38sp with excellent results. You get more lubricant per millilitre with this type of lube and the increased viscosity of the oils means this type of lubricant should last longer and is much less prone to getting washed off your chain if you encounter water.For non-racers, for whom peak speed and efficiency isn’t the ultimate goal, reducing drivetrain wear – and therefore extending the life of your components – can potentially save you a fair amount of money. If you want to use normal oil, the gear oil that chain manufacturers recommend works fine. But remember that they’re simply suggesting something that they know will work to some extent, and that doesn’t favour any brand, and that won’t lead to litigation if that product changed or didn’t perform as expected. The problem is that it flings off like crazy, and as the testing has shown, that means it offers poor corrosion protection – there’s no point testing rust proofing without spinning the samples first, which is why I did this the way I did. Drivetrain efficiency describes how much of the energy (usually described as ‘power’ because it can be measured in watts) you put through the pedals reaches the rear wheel, to drive you and the bike forward. Have you ever seen two people look happier about contraception? (Picture: Getty) ‘Tingling’ or ‘cooling’ lubricants Spit , in the case that you or your partner may spread gonorrhea. If neither of you have STDs, spit is safe, but if you’re not sure, don’t use your own spit.

Sexual lubricant or lube is often assumed to be reserved for anal sex, hen-party giggles or post-menopausal vaginal dryness, but this isn’t the case. For wet conditions, the winner is slightly less clear cut, but we’d still recommend waxed-based lubricants for their efficiency. Crucially, however, you’ll have to be prepared to clean your chain immediately after wet rides to prevent corrosion. Look around any important race and you’ll likely see a few immersive waxed chains. This one has a healthy dusting of extra PTFE powder to further reduce friction.

Chinese Yam Natural lubricants are becoming a huge market as people are more aware of potentially scary ingredients in other products. The Natural Love Company has created a cruelty-free, vegan version that is made without additives or synthetic chemicals. This makes it a great choice for anyone struggling with allergies or sensitive skin.

In food service, it is absolutely imperative to properly lubricate your food processing equipment with a food-grade lubricant that is non-toxic and contains no hazardous ingredients. Lubricating your machines regularly and with the right lubricant increases longevity and protects against wear and tear, friction, corrosion, and oxidation. It saves you money in the long run by reducing the possibility of constant repairing. You’ll probably have to go to the store to find this and won’t likely have it in your pantry, but it does work as natural lube. A great recipe is to create homemade lube from coconut oil, Chinese yams, and citrus seed. You can experiment with your own concoctions–just avoid using oil if you’re planning on using condoms. Your Own Spit It’s designed to be used as a massage oil and a lubricant so is safe to use internally. But do note, as an oil product, it is not safe to be used with latex or silicone toys so will break condoms or glyde dams. That said, it’s still a great product and one we started to use on non-sex days when we felt a bit of vaginal discomfort. The reason for that is due to the different botanical oils including lavender, grapeseed oil and CBD which are used to minimise discomfort. It also created a lovely fragrance which while lovely, is strong so worth noting if you are sensitive to smell. With such a wide range of greases available on the market today it is important you are choosing the right grease for the right job.

If you’re after the fastest, most efficient drivetrain possible, immersive waxing is currently king. Look around any professional race or time trial and you’re bound to spot more than a few waxed chains. Did you know that it’s possible for you to make your own natural lube at home? There are a few household products you’re likely to have in your closet or in your pantry that are great, natural alternatives to store-bought lubricant . You’ll need to clean your drivetrain regularly, possibly even after every ride if you want the maximum benefit and to maintain peak performance and optimise drivetrain life. Once a wet lube becomes contaminated it can begin to cause drivetrain wear.If you’re concerned about spreading diseases or getting pregnant, do not use oil-based lube. Oil is a great option for masturbation, just not for intercourse. If your adult toys are made out of silicone, it’s best to avoid silicone-based lubes and opt for water-based instead as they’re less likely to damage the material. Bulldog BDX was a surprise as it’s an all-purpose spray. It did well in my corrosion protectants test, and while it is a penetrating spray, it didn’t creep past the O-ring in my test rig. Honey, which may seem like a no-brainer at first because it’s delicious and slippery. However, the sugar content can lead to bacteria growth and, ultimately, yeast infections. Therefore, you should keep honey away from your genitals.

Once it’s been properly cleaned and treated though, waxed chains have, in our experience, an incredible ability to shrug off dirt and grime. With that in mind, avoiding a contaminated drivetrain is key to optimum efficiency and ensuring long-lasting parts. There’s a whole world out there of personal lubricants that come in any texture, taste, and sensation you could think of. With the wide variety of options, it can be difficult to know which lube is the right one for your body, and which products to get. It’s fair to say not everyone will have the inclination or patience for it though. After all, outright efficiency and cleanliness almost certainly matter less to most commuters than the ability for your bike to last a couple of weeks in all weathers without cleaning it.Reason six: A chain lube will reduce friction – few road riders would notice the difference, but race teams use O-ring chains (except on some low-capacity and classic bikes), and they use chain lube, despite having the budget to regularly replace those chains.
