hey guys.. i being reading about lubricant for the chain...

seems there are dry lubricant and wet lubricant.. what is really the difference? and where can i get some? any brand?

i have a road bike and still trying to see how i can take care of it properly...

Dry lube:
harder for grime and dirt
washes away more easily
more suitable for dry weather

Wet Lube:
More resistant to water so better for wet weather
But harder to wash away
Easier for grime and dirt to stick to the lube

hm..okay. i sort of get it... like the weather nowadays.. probably going to go towards the dry season. so likely use more dry lube... then the monsoon and rainly season use more wet lube...

can share some brand and location to get them?

Hi guys.. I riding a Giant MTB 27.5".. After joining a few group cycling, i realize that MTB cant keep up with those foldies and road bike..

Is it my tyre too thick that's why alot of resistance?

I can change my tyres on this current Giant Talon 4? Will that help?

Mine also 27.5 and using maxxis detonator 1.5 inch width. For the price and weight i find them quite suitable for me. I use these on roads and pavements. Didnt dare to use on trail.

Anybody thought the checkpoints were not as well stocked this year? I started closer to the back for this year's bike rally and at certain checkpoints, there were people who arrived after me and found that they had run out of everything except water. Didn't have this problem last year when I started at the front. Not sure if that made a difference.
