Fun Time  Lube Cherry Lubricant Gel Water Based Red, 75 Ml

Product Information

Unless you’re using condoms, natural oils are generally great, and are used for massage all over the body because rubbing oil feels really good. Oil-based products also last a lot longer than lubricants that are water-based. This is especially true if the oil you’re using is organic.

With no industry standard I can’t tell you if there’s a lower limit to this, but the comparison in no less valuable. The Taylor range of lube is certified food-safe, NSF-listed and meets USDA 1998 H-1 guidelines. It’s also transparent, odorless and is designed specifically for use on all Taylor machines. The light, minimal-friction formula makes excellent transition to control cables and pivot points too, keeping them lubricated but with no risk of gumming up. Bargain basement store-branded cable sets without PTFE coated liners or similar friction-busting potions showed particular improvement after being fed a few drops. According to Megan, ‘Bio oil is a specialist skincare oil that aims to improve the appearance of the skin, from fading scars and stretch marks to alleviating dryness. While it can hydrate the skin, it is not suitable as a lubricant as it is only designed for external use. It is also a perfumed product that could affect the pH of the vagina.’ Condoms are usually lubricated, but with long-lasting sex, they can dry out and lube can help reduce the chance of the condom tearing. You can use any type of lubricant with polyurethane condoms that are not made of latex. However, if you’re using latex or polyisoprene condoms, avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can cause them to tear.Doing so is a challenge, though. When you ride in wet or dirty conditions, your front wheel sprays huge amounts of contaminants onto your chain (although good mudguards can mitigate the effects to a degree). From there, the only way to reset the balance is to clean your drivetrain thoroughly.

Red Line Liquid Assembly Lube is a new, convenient version of the chemistry found in the popular Assembly Lube paste sold in tubs.

How to choose and use lube

IMO it's best to make a small batch per Bens directions, try it out, and if it's not up to what you're looking for try experimenting with it.

So, you either realize you’re out of lube and are a little desperate, or you’d like to explore some natural alternatives to KY Jelly. Don’t panic – there are a lot of options! If you rummage around your closet, pantry, and fridge, you’re likely to find some items you can use as lube. Use a cleaner designed for O-ring chains, or simply paraffin (kerosene in the US). Be careful with stiff-bristled brushes as they could damage the O-ring, and don’t use a jet-wash to blast away the grime – it’ll push past those seals and blow the factory grease out of the rivets. When most cyclists think about lubrication, they likely think about decreasing friction and increasing efficiency. It’s not all about efficiency though, friction and drivetrain wear are closely associated too. Use only a small amount on bearing and piston surfaces – too much can make it difficult to turn over the engine. From what lube is to how to use it & how to find the right type for your needs, here’s our ultimate guideZFC, however, is adamant this isn’t optimum and that the benefits of waxed-based lubricants, and of immersive waxing in particular, far outstrip the negatives even for commuters. From sexy silicone lubes that double as hair products to eco-friendly, water-based formulas, we rounded up seven of our favorite body-safe lubes to add to your collection. Need more tips on how to use it? We've got plenty right here.

Most modern bikes use a chain with O-rings (or X-rings) that seal in grease from the factory between the rivet and the bushing, which keeps it flexing smoothly and reduces internal wear. That’s there for the lifetime of the chain, which is why you don’t want to be too aggressive with your cleaning, or use products that could penetrate. Drivetrain efficiency describes how much of the energy (usually described as ‘power’ because it can be measured in watts) you put through the pedals reaches the rear wheel, to drive you and the bike forward. Recently, partly thanks to the increased availability of independent testing data, waxed-based lubricants have risen in popularity among performance-minded cyclists. Both red and blue Taylor Lube is used to lubricate soft serve machines and other frozen dessert machines. Regular three day clean, non-heat treatment machines can use either blue or red lube. However, self-pasteurizing heat treatment machines MUST use the high performance RED lube. You may also want to avoid or patch test flavoured lubricants that contain synthetic glycerine. “They can trigger yeast infections and cause irritation to your genitals” warns Charlene.As things stand, immersive waxing or waxed-based chain lubes are best. The efficiency and cleanliness make them clear leaders in this category. With 55 lubes reviewed, including gear oil and chainsaw oil, we’ve also employed the services of a leading lubrication testing lab to ensure this is the most detailed and trust-worthy test you’ll ever see…
