what a bag of snakes

Wow, not that far into the thread, but checking the site out for that lube...

They claim they're using tiny diamonds to lower friction? I'd rather use something a bit, um, softer than the metal it's going to be sandwiched between. Replacing lube = easy and cheap. Replacing a worn out gun =

I'll bet that it's nanorific!

You know, I've used very small bits of diamond suspended in a petroleum base (though much thicker than 5 weight oil) before. You know what the label on the side of that bottle said?

"Lapping compound". Even if what this guy says is in the bottle is true, it's probably even worse than running without a lubricant...

Just from reading their info, they went the wrong way with marketing. While the content is close to diamond it is a synthetic combination or the two naturally found types of diamond. When applied and hardend onto a surface it is very strong and has very low friction. It's becoming more common for dirtbike fork tubes to be coated in such a material.

Though, I do not vouch for the process being done by applying a "lube" form. But done as a hard coating it is pretty damn good.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

If you are using it for a small bit, it'll be good as it smoothes out the contact surfaces. But after a bit, you'll just be giving the parts looser tolerances.

nanolub says you work it into the surface, the mineral oil is only a carrier medium it doesn't do any of the amazing nanorific stuff
