Review on Tru Tension BananaSlip Tungsten Weather by Alfonso Tipton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suppleness and Less Drag

I have used this excellent lube on my fastest road bike for some time. I find it extremely smooth and slippery and my shifts feel better. I've experimented with waiting 160 miles before re-lube, but personally I find that re-application a little earlier works better. I wipe the chain after every ride to remove accumulated black road rubber, but if I don't do it right away it doesn't seem to affect performance. I really see the benefit of my speed with less effort using this excellent lube.

Pros
  • Tungsten Filled Tungsten - originally developed for space projects as a lube due to lower coefficient of friction compared to ceramic, teflon and graphite and also more durable
Cons
  • Some minor things
