Wet lubes typically mean wet drivetrains, chains coated in black grime that transfers to everything they touch. Rock N Roll's Extreme formula challenges that tradeoff, delivering the staying power needed for mud, rain, and filthy conditions while remaining remarkably clean compared to traditional wet lubricants. The secret is a gel membrane suspended within a potent solvent carrier that penetrates deep into chain rollers and pins, creating lasting protection without the usual gunk accumulation.

Application follows Rock N Roll's signature method. Shake the bottle well to combine the separated components, then drizzle a generous flow onto the chain at the cassette while backpedaling. This isn't drip-by-drip oil application, it's a steady stream that cleans and lubricates simultaneously. The solvent carrier strips existing contamination while depositing the protective gel membrane into the friction surfaces where it matters. Backpedal the chain, and dirt rises to the surface for easy wiping. Keep wiping until the chain shines, then shift to the small ring and clean the chainring teeth.

The formula stays put through conditions that would wash away lighter lubricants. Mountain bikers running through stream crossings, cyclocross racers churning through mud, and road cyclists grinding out winter miles on salted roads all benefit from Extreme's tenacity. Despite its wet-lube staying power, chains remain cleaner than you'd expect. A slight patina develops over time, but nothing like the black paste that accumulates with conventional wet lubes. You won't leave chainring tattoos on your calf.... Read More
