Pedro's Ice Wax 2.0

I'm completely converted, really impressed with this stuff. The thicker texture makes it so much easier to apply than all previous wax lubes I've used - no excess splashing all over the place so far more economical.

My drive train is a lot quieter than with the pro gold dry lube or Muc Off wet lube I have been using of late, and no black drive train to deal with either.

In my experience, the problem with wax lubes is that most people aren't obsessive about bike care, don't clean their bikes regularly/ever, and don't read instructions, so wax lubes are not appropriate for most people, but of course the manufacturers probably aren't going to say that out loud.

They get a bottle of this because they read about it or the guy at the bike shop recommends it, and they apply it once in a while on their dirty chain. A year or two or three later when they take the bike for a tune-up the entire transmission is coated in black, sticky sludge that doesn't come off easily.

I use Squirt Wax Lube.... great in wet and dry conditions... reapply every 3 or so rides...chain remains clean and wear is kept at bay... always apply on a clean chain (even degrease new ones before application) and leave to dry .....apply wax and leave to dry (set).... I use it on MTB and Road bikes of my own and also supply customers with sample bottles when they get their bikes back from service...
I await stock of already Squirt coated chains...due in next week...
None of my customers have reported any issues with Squirt and I am guessing Pedros on test here is a similar product...

The challenge with these 'dry' lubes is that they are sacrificial - they work on the premise that any dirt that gets on the chain attaches to the topmost layer, then flakes off under contact with other moving parts taking a tiny bit of the dry substrate with it. White Lightning works the same.

So they do wear off over time. And yes, a wet ride will kill them.

They were/are very popular in the MTB world, particularly in dry, dusty places.

On Britain's roads? Questionable. At the start of a decently-long ride, a passing shower and associated road spray could see it washed off in short order, leaving you with hours of dry, squeaky trip home.

Yes, it works, 30 wet miles kills it, so best for summer only, using it hlfords years.

In winter I use Rock n Roll extreme.

I switched to dry/wax/non-oil lubes about 3 years ago and have never looked back. You still get a bit of black build up, but the ease of cleaning has me sold.

No issues with extra wear, 1 minute to apply, quiet drive chain...

About five years ago I was given, as part of a complicated buy/sell/swap arrangement with my LBS, a 2 litre bottle of Pedro's. Since then I have used nothing else, winter and summer, and haven't noticed any increase in transmission wear. What I have noticed is the cleanliness of the bikes, my hands, my socks and my shoes.
Yes, you have to re-lube after every wet ride but it's a two-minute job and the compensation is never having to clean the chain with solvent, merely wiping with a cloth is all it needs.
By the way, I'm only halfway down the bottle; I reckon I will be too feeble to cycle before I run out.

Looks like Squirt Chain Lube.
