Boeshield T-9 lube

The solvents in T9 evaporate fairly quickly - a few hours is usually enough, but overnight or longer is ideal. My dad used to work at Boeing and sent me bottles of the stuff years back. I have been using it for close to 20 years now, and other than trying out other lubes to see how they compare, have never stopped using T9. Anyone seeing problems with build-up or gunk probably still have some of their old lube or original grease in their chain - the solvents will often interact adversely. After a few applications and cleaning, the old stuff will be washed away and the T9 will be the only lube left. It is quiet, clean and if you wipe off your chain with a dry rag after each ride, run great for a half-dozen or so rides. Then, just wipe it off (I usually apply a little WD-40 spray to the rag, let it "air out" for 15 seconds or so, and then wipe). Let it sit for a few minutes and then apply one drop per bushing. Spin the cranks for 20 or 30 revolutions and put the bike away with the rag hanging over the chain - to remind you to wipe the chain before riding. Unless it is really sloppy wet, you should be good for another 5 or 6 rides, or more.
