Rock and Roll lube

[Taylor57]

I just received my Rock and Roll Lube from Amazon. Should it have a large thick clump at the bottom that does not disperse no matter how hard I shake it?

Thanks in advance.

What is rock and roll used for?

 

[fooferdoggie]

you want it shaken up the white stuff is what does the work. maybe leave it upside down for awhile?

ACF50 for the win.

I've used ACF50 for protecting all the electronics, and common bike rust "hotspots". Are you using ACF50 as chain lube as well?

YES

YES

The idea crossed my mind before. I think I'll be giving it a whirl on my next drivetrain cleaning.

I will also @Thomas. I have been looking for a multi-use product. Thanks for the tip!

"Can in hand, carefully apply the fluid to all bolts, nuts, chrome plated parts, rear shocks, swinging arm, brake callipers, switchgear and underside of the bike. Leave overnight to allow the ACF-50 to creep into all the nooks and crannies. The following day wipe all the treated areas with the application cloth used previously to remove any excess and spread it further by wiping over the frame, fork legs, wheel rims and spokes. The only areas I didn’t apply it to were the tank, nose fairing and seat hump as these are waxed on a weekly basis.

If, like me, you prefer dry film or wax chain lubes which are great at reducing oil fling on to your shiny rear wheel due to their lack of oil based lubricants they can result in light rusting of the chain following a wet ride or two. My method is simple, grip the drive chain with a cloth moistened with ACF 50 and rotate the rear wheel which gives an even coating to the side plates and rollers. Apply your dry film chain lube immediately after and the chain will be rust resistant for a couple of months worth of wet riding"

Reading another thread about a winter bike reminded me to follow up on this...

I prepped my Bafang rear hub bike for winter a couple of weeks back (a little early but I had time) and used ACF-50 on the chain.

I haven't gone through the slush, but given how ACF-50 has performed on other components, I don't foresee any problems.

For my Shimano-based bike, I'll probably switch to ACF-50 when I change out the chain due to stretch, and stick with it.

I might have to give this a try on another bike that I ride during the winter. Is its efficacy affected by colder temps -10 to -15C? I was thinking of switching back to a conventional wet chain lube (Muc Off -50) until I came across this thread.

it would seal the chain but I don't think it would act as a lube though would it?

I haven't tried it in the cold, but I would guess that it should be okay. They spray it into the wings of aircraft, and IIRC the Learchem webite mentioned it passing MilSpec for low temp adhesion, which I think started at 0 Fahrenheit.

I also use rock and roll gold. That clump should dissolve into the solution with a good shake. Needs to be dissolved before use.

Try sticking a coffee stirrer in to stir up the clump, and then shake. If it still doesnt dissolve, send it back as defective.

Then buy another bottle. Love this lube. Degreases and lubes at same time.
