NFS Chainlube & Race Grease: The wait is over

[phutterman]

Is anybody in the Bay Area carrying it?

I've ordered some, but I expect I'll need to get more, someday -- and to be able to point others to where to find it, if I find myself evangelizing it like people seem to.

Belissimo Phutterman. If you ordered this week shoot me a note, I'm shipping tomorrow and will slip a few sample size bottles into your order to be used for swaying Local Bike Shops. Give it to the mechanics, sit back and watch what happens. They appreciate that it makes bike chains very quiet and if they ride, most do, shop owners trust their mechanics or they SHOULD!

Yay, ordered a bottle! ...which will force myself to wash my poor, filthy bike.

Why ???

It's just going to get dirty again .......

Bonus. Everything shipped this morning. If you get a "NFS Not For Resale" sample bottle please consider giving it to a shop with my contact info. or to a pal who will appreciate. Gorilla Marketing, it's what's for lunch.
Best, Josh
PS - Phutterman, you got some extra sample bottles.

In my continuing efforts to cause Toots to drain his supply of NFS lickity split, I'll give all of you another use for this versatile stuff.

Now I know that most of you VS contributors, lurkers and trolls roast your own coffee, just like we do here at SPECTRUM CYCLES UNIVERSAL GALACTICAL. And since the most common home drum roaster is the Behomr 1600, I'll give all of you a little tip. I am sure that you are all frustrated with the dry bushing in the little DC control area cooling fan. You know what I mean since all of you use a Behmor. Anyway, it is a quick fix to remove the right side panel of the unit with a #3 phillips head driver. Once that's off, use that same phillips head driver and remove the four screws that fasten the little fan to the side cover. When you get the cooling fan off, you will notice a little stick-on cover on the back side of the fan body. Carefully peel the cover back until you have access to the fan bushing. Apply as small a drop of NFS onto the bushing as you can and stick the cover back on. Reassemble the Behmor and you are ready to roast in silence again.

So, since there are thousands of VS members out there and each of you has a Behmor, I figure that you will now go and use thousands of drops of NFS when you get home this evening. Josh's ability to keep all of you supplied will be really put to the test. So go home, get to work and then order more NFS. Drink coffee and have a nice day.

Will definitely be letting some lube-obsessed coworkers try it out. One dude is known to hoard bottles of things he likes (lubes, mastik one) under his bench, so.....

Sorry I was slow on the uptake but you figured me out! I just got mine and the sample bottles and I'll definitely pass them along to mechanics/shops who seem like they'd be receptive. Thanks!

Lube on bike, sample of lube in the back, on one mechanic's bench or another. Thanks for the quiet ride home.

You rock. Thanks for the report.

My NFS order just arrived in OZ! Fantastic logistics. Look forward to trying it out.

I'll add my praise to the chorus. It's March in Massachusetts, so the roads are salty, sandy, wet and generally disgusting. A full bike rinse is needed after every ride. I had resigned myself to my lube wearing out after 90 minutes in this crap, but NFS has raised my spirits. I applied it wrong/lazy (wiped but didn't clean my chain before applying), and even after a couple of 3 hour rides, it's running smooth. I rinse my bike after the ride, wipe the chain (but don't reapply), and it's looks fantastic. My quality of life just went up.

Now that made my day :)

HEY!!! EVERYTHING SHIPPED!!!

Any shop in Los Angeles area carries this?

Nooope. Want to earn yourself a lifetime supply? (hint hint).

FWIIW NFS is going to start marketing a wee bit more broadly this year so it will start to appear in LBS across the USA g-d willing and the creek don't rise ;)

Calling for all NFS ride and race pictures. We would like your pictures of you or a teammate racing or riding. Richard Sachs and Mike Z's CX teams both use the stuff and we have some real knuckleheads riding and racing in amazing events. Post your pictures here AND if you are willing to let me use the images send me high quality .jpg or .tiff file.

Bad@ssery happens, let's cover it with NFS ;)

Finally got around to converting my 29er over to SRAM bits, and used NFS on the bare-metal shifter cables. Definitely made a difference in smoothness compared to un-lubed cables. (I run Shimano SP41 housing). Good stuff, this.

So I have been well stocked at the shop now for a few months with NFS. I have been using it on all new bike, drivetrain cleanings and most repairs. This stuff is legit. Quiet drive trains and nice clean looking chains. Had people stop by looking for it specifically. It's a win-win situation. I don't grab any other chain lube off the bench. And I'm still on the first bottle! Stuff just does it. I'm happy. Thanks!

[Too Tall]

Awwwww shucks :)

Hey, hope to be at your shop for the PR party.
"And I'm still on the first bottle! " <<<< This may prove to be my undoing. After less than two years selling NFS we are only now seeing individual re-orders. Shop orders are nice and steady.

Yep. I'm about 9 months in on three bikes and other stuff and only at about a half bottle used so far.
