Aero_Dave Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 I have to say; I read a lot of Tips, Trick, Short-Cuts, etc… and most don’t really live up to my expectations. But I finally tried the ‘Bracelet Lube’ treatment using the Rock-n-Roll Extreme Wet Chain Lube. Man I have to say, this stuff Really makes a difference. I just separated my bracelet in two half’s, put each one is a small plastic baggie. Shake the bottle, squirt some in each bag and just rub it around the bracelet for a few minutes. You will see the blue color change a little as the dirt hiding inside the bracelet comes out. After letting is sit for only about 5 minutes, I just removed the bracelet parts and wiped them down with a paper towel. I did not wash it and I don’t think you need to. Since this is a Dry lube, is doesn’t leave behind any oily residue. The bracelet is very quiet now and just feels so much better. So, although this is just another post about the bracelet lube trick, you still should try this if you haven’t already! Dave… 1
dovo1695 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 Nice tip. It is amazing how much grime there is in bracelets, even right out of the box!
Cats Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 Indeed great stuff I use it since years and it makes your bracelet as soft as butter. Send with Sony Experia Z using Tapatalk Pro
jpz5142 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 This indeed a good tip and one worth reminding! I use Pedro's Ice Wax, similar stuff as Rock n Roll but it's what I use on my bike and figured since it worked great on my bike (always the cleanest drivetrain in the group!) it would work great on the bracelet! The key here is to use a "dry lube", goes on wet and when it dries it leaves a layer of lipids (waxes) right where you need them that keep working without attracting dirt to the bracelet that a oily lube would.
GenTLe Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 Don't the "magic liquid" work the same? (I call it this way from the blocked engine disassemble time)
Aero_Dave Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Posted June 26, 2014 Don't the "magic liquid" work the same? (I call it this way from the blocked engine disassemble time) NO, I would not used WD-40. Its not a Dry Lube! Dave...
Aero_Dave Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Posted June 26, 2014 Too bad i cant find it in Denmark ... I got my bottle from EBAY! Dave...

netniet Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 Too bad i cant find it in Denmark ... Are you sure? You probably can find it at your airbase. Check the guys from the Ground Support Equipment. Don't know the NSN number, but I know its available. Found a couple: http://www.wd40company.com/files/pdf/wd_40tec16952473.pdf

fraggle42 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 This reminds me, I bought two bottles of dry chain lube to do some bracelets and then put them on the shelf and totally forgot about why I had got them
coffindodger Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 i,m going to order 1 of them off amazon right now.
436NR Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Yeah i can get the wd40 but not that rock n roll Extreme stuff wd40 leaves a greasy surface no matter how Much you try to get it all you cant Secret ingredient in WD40 is fish oil! Designed by rocket engineers to keep rocket and missile parts from corroding. Water Displacement (WD) 40; the fortieth sample. It'll always leave a residue.
sgtguk Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Rock N Roll or White Lightning, either do an ace job, tried Wd40 the very first rep I got, felt better but your right the residue is awful !
Mendota Explorer Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Ezio, any brand of bicycle chain dry lube will work. You might have different brand names over there, but any will work. Cycling is huge over there so I'm 100% certain you will find some. Your store on base might have some, or next time you are in town just stop into any bike shop and pick up some.
Ezio Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Yeah Got some today since my plane was grounded haha
jonsydney Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks for the heads up, OP. Just ordered some
