... a) haven't had the impression it lasts anything good (even w/o rivercrossings) but more importantly
b) it always clogs to complete uselessness.
Basically a pain in the ass to use (had to use grass stems for every drip) and with to be expected low performance.
I'll go back to Silca Synergetic for race use: tried and proven!
Can't recommend. Tested on the Silk Road Mountain Race.
So a few weeks back I wrote that I'll try this Trutension cycle Banana Slip Drip Lube.
Reason: it tests similar to the proven Silca Synergetic, is also kind of a drip wax like Silca Super Secret Chain coating yet promises near instant ready time after application (5-10 mins).
So far, so good.
But...
Immersive Waxing... wrote about it why it's so-so for ultracycling and actually confirmed it sort of because the wax only lasted to the first thunderstorm and not even the first 12 hours of the race... Oh well - it got waxed again as I'm now at home again and for daily riding it's fine. 😅

Can't get my head around the #Japanese track bikes having the #drivetrain on the left side. Kind of triggers some kind of OCD I'm not sure I even had! #ParisOlympics #paris2024 #Japan
And I guess #TinaTurner ordering a #DriveTrain-Swap for ther #LM002 is the reason we now have shit like the #Mercedes #AMG #6x6 exist today...
Yes, that is a Sram XO Eagle Transmission Cassette and RD.
And it's running with a non flattop chain and matched to a Shimano XTR chainring.
Connex by Wippermann showed it at Cyclingworld Europe behind acrylic and it ran very rough...

Look what I just found!
Very interesting chainring solutions. Including Sram AXS. They even got AXS direct mount spiders!
And they have nice Shimano XT/XTR direct mount chainrings, too. 👍
It just occurred to me that everybody riding a 1x mullet setup with his Gravel bike (and most probably does so with a SRAM over a Shimano GRX drivetrain) really opted for the worst of all the possible drivetrain efficiency downfalls: He not only suffers "cross chaining" efficiency losses in the outermost cogs of the cassette but also does so with the worst of all chains - the conventional Eagle AXS chain! Yikes! (see my previous posts to see why)
Here the chart with the results. Be aware that the horizontal axis is not watts saved but seems to indicate a very rough 2 Watts per 1.5 ticks ratio. For a clean chain. May sound very minuscule but keep in mind a) 2 Watts more loss from an around 4 Watts "best" chain is already 50 % more loss and b) these losses become amplified the longer the chain gets exposed to road/trail grit and grime.

A Revolution in Vehicle Drivetrains? https://hackaday.com/2023/12/06/a-revolution-in-vehicle-drivetrains/ #electricvehicle #drivetrain #suspension #carhacks #News #evs
Today I finished my first-ever clean and hot wax treatment for the Dahon K3 folding bike. The old chain was badly stretched, so for this job I started with a new one. The immediate Good Thing is that the chain doesn't leave an indelible black smear on everything it touches. If the promise of longer chain life holds up, I'll be doubly happy.

That's where my friend broke his #derailleur hanger: it snapped when he carried his bike across barriers https://mas.to/@Anibyl/110412407608382068
With help of a passerby he managed to convert his 1x11 #drivetrain to a #SingleSpeed one.
Hangers fatigue and break, especially when riding off-road; it's better to be ready for that: carry spare hanger, chain breaker, pliers, chain link. We had only a chain breaker 😔
I've also heard that gearhubs are pretty reliable 😜
#Retrofit für den #Renault #Twizy #Antriebsstrang, durchdrehender Motor gehört der Vergangenheit an 😁👍
#Retrofit for the #Renault #Twizy #drivetrain, spinning engine is a thing of the past
😁👍
If you ride single-speed, or with hub gears, there's a revolutionary upgrade available for you right now!
Make your chain last AT LEAST 3.5 times longer, while making your drive-train more efficient.

Wir haben heute im #tccn den erste Satz #retrofit #drivetrain zum Test montiert, es ist eine Wonne, alles passt wie angegossen 👍😇😘😁
Ich habe noch nie einen so leisen #Renault #twizy gefahren, man hört nur die Reifen und das Surren vom Elektromotor 🥰
