Lazy Sunday
I just love getting all my workouts in and done before Sunday. After a long day outside yesterday, I took the liberty of taking the rest of the weekend off! My legs are plenty tired and can certainly use the rest.
I had ambitions of going out shopping for some new workout clothes, going grocery shopping, and doing various other errands. I have yet to leave my property line though. I probably wouldn’t have even stepped outside if I didn’t decide to give my bike a good cleaning. I figured that was the least I could do for it since it got me there and back again yesterday safe and sound in one piece.
During yesterdays ride, I spent a lot of time staring at the cogs of the riders directly in front of me and I noticed some folks with sparkling clean drivetrains. My chain and cogs always end up pitch black even after the shortest of rides. So with a clean and degreased chain, I decided to give White Lightning lube a try. It’s a waxed based product and suppositively it keeps things nice and clean. Dirt is supposed to stick to the wax and just shed off taking the dirt with it. And I hear that you don’t get grease stains when you accidentally rub up against your drivetrain. That would be nice because I always seem to be doing that. Some swear by it, while others have given it less lofty reviews (some folks report that the wax gums up other parts of the drivetrain and while others say that the lube doesn’t last very long). I still am a little hesitant to switch from my trusty ProLink lube, but I’m willing to give it a shot especially if it can keep things clean. It’s all about the bling, baby! :)
