When independent laboratory testing evaluated drivetrain efficiency across dozens of chain lubricants, Rock N Roll Gold emerged as the clear winner, delivering measurably lower friction losses than the competition at typical riding loads. That efficiency comes from a PTFE-heavy formula suspended in a light oil carrier, creating a slick protective membrane inside chain rollers where friction actually costs you watts. Gold serves as Rock N Roll's all-purpose option, handling both road and mountain bike applications without requiring separate lubricants for different disciplines.

Application follows the signature Rock N Roll method that feels counterintuitive if you're accustomed to traditional drip-per-link oiling. Shake well, then drizzle a generous flow onto the chain at the cassette while backpedaling. The formula penetrates deep into the chain's internals, trapping existing dirt and lifting it to the surface as you continue rotating the cranks backward. Wipe the chain until it shines, then shift to the small ring and clean any residue from the chainring teeth. You're simultaneously cleaning and lubricating in one step.

The protective membrane that remains inside the chain seals out dirt and moisture from the moving parts. Chains stay noticeably cleaner than with conventional wet lubes, without sacrificing the staying power needed for varied conditions. Riders report 300-400 miles between applications during mixed-weather periods, though dusty or wet conditions may call for more frequent attention. The formula tolerates light rain and occasional puddles without washing away immediately, making it versatile enough for year-round use in temperate climates.... Read More
