Rock 'N' Roll lube

I got ragged on today that I haven't posted any bike content in awhile and that I apparently need to get back on my bike because my blogs are getting weirder and weirder. I was hoping they would be entertaining, but I digress.

Anyway, next weekend I will be out in Fruita doing some of the classic rides so I'm sure some nice content will come from that. If you are looking to stalk me, well, just hang out at Over the Edge all weekend and you might see me...

Anyway, today I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Rock 'N' Roll lube. I've been using this stuff since Dave Horstmann from the Bike Shop in Marshall, MN recommended I give it a shot.

Choice of chain lube is about as varied as choice of tire and people definitely have their favorites. What I like about this stuff though, is that it's cleaning AND lubricating. Just apply it to your dirty-assed chain, spin it around a few times, and wipe it off. It will clean the chain pretty well, protect it for many rides to come, and not get that black spray crap all over your chainstay like some lubes do.

I don't know why most bike shops don't carry this stuff. It seems like a lot of the really good bike shops are just starting to catch on and have it in inventory, but it's been around for many years. Locally in Denver, I know that Salvagetti stocks it and they are conveniently just off the Cherry Creek trail near downtown.

You might be set on your current chain lube, that's cool, but if you have an open mind try picking one of these up, it might be the last time you use any other brand.

You should go into advertising. :)

Can't wait to ride with you again -- even if we do have to go all the way to Fruita to do it. Should be a blast, I can't wait!

Marshall, MN? Are you kidding me? I went to middle school there. You from there?
