I tend to put my fine molly places other than my chain
like on disc rotor?

Bought two bottles of R’n’R. Not sure it makes much of a difference but mixture doesn’t look very consistent across packs. Just an observation.

^No wonder people's experiences of even one single product can vary so much. Even the same stuff isn't necessarily the same... Seems there's a good reason for these bottles and the like not being see-through.

The bottle on the left has an unusually large amount of solid/precipitate. Most bottles look just like the other one.

Muc-Off Dry Lube. Does not stay long, but while it's there it works great. The fact that it smells like a banana is a bonus.

I started waxxing my chains about two months ago, and will never go back to drip lube. Clean, fast, and clean. I rotate through multiple chains on my road bike, so I only have to do the waxxing process about once a month.

Prior to waxxing, I used RnR gold.
