Review: Dupont Teflon Multi-Use Lube for chains

[BusaBob]

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

ATTENTION everyone! be advised: do NOT use Dupont Teflon Multi-Lube on your chain!!!

It is great, I mean AWFUL, stuff. It will melt your chain and then eat through the concrete of your floor. Your children and your children's children will be trying to clean this stuff off for years to come.

I repeat: DO NOT get Dupont Teflon Multi-Lube

Just leave it on the shelf and I will personally see to it that I get every last can of this fantastic, i mean terrible stuff, off the store shelves at Lowes ASAP

But Teflon poisons polar bears, think of the bears!

Good one, but nice try, who ever can ride faster to the LOWES at Dufferin/Eglinton (it's actually on Castlefield on block north of Eglinton) still have a dozen left after I bought 4 of them. It's right next to the Chainsaw and tool area, btw, anyone here tried chainsaw lubes? should be decent on the chain consider what it is intended for.

This is as of Yesterday July 8th 7pm, dont know how many will there be now

I'm delighted to be happy to report that the store in Maple (200 McNaughton, L6A 4E2) has it too. As of an hour ago there's 44 less (four is my lucky number, but since that wouldn't beat the current pack rat record here I had to kick it up a notch ), but there's still seven left on the shelf.

All Lowes stores, including the ones in US, keep DTMU (full name Dupont Teflon Multi-Use Dry, Wax Lubricant) in the same location. A few racks from the corner of the store that's to your right when you enter, close to the wall where the cashiers are.

You bought 44 cans of the stuff!?!?!?!!?

that's dedication! I thought you only went through 2 cans a season. now you have enough for 22 years!!

It was out of the goodness of my hart, to prevent other people from getting their chains destroyed by the horrible stuff . Of course I didn't buy 44 cans - I didn't have my side cases on, so I had to settle with what I could fit in my top case (45 liter Givi) that was already half full (another tongue-in-cheek, in case you misread the joke ).

This is worse than the Cabbage Patch Dolls stampedes of 1983...

Still about 6 left at the Caledonia store.
That was at 2:15pm.
The bloke i spoke to said he would keep an eye out for demand and if need be could get more.

MMMmmm,looked for Cabbage patch dolls,no luck.

Zero left now (July 10), I think I got the last couple of cans. Of course they may have more somewhere else in the store.

DAYUM, you guys act fast, I only bought 4 because my backpack can only fit that many, gave 1 to my buddy and using one now, was going to grab a few more...

About 5 left at the Maple Lowes location as of last night...

[cycling]

19 cans at Lowes, Caledonia Road.
As of 10:30 this morning,Thursday 24th July.
I know that they where running low and ordered more in for us.
I spoke to some bloke last week and he said that he would maintain the stock to keep us happy.

I just bought 2 cans to give it a try. When to Lowe's in Brampton (Kennedy Rd. S.) on my way home and they have plenty left. At least 15-20 cans as of 3:15pm. Aright I'm going to clean my chain

[FiReSTaRT]

After 700km, my chain is looking relatively clean (cleaner than after 100km with Maxima) but it still feels slick. This stuff is magic.

[zeekat]

I picked some up on Monday and cleaned and lubed the chain with this stuff on Wednesday. Got it up here at Newmarket Lowes's ... walked in with my helmet and asked one where the lubricants were and first thing he said was "You're looking for the Dupont ...". After a few bikers coming in, he checked out what the hub bub was about on the internet.

Hey, where in the store do they keep it?
In which area/department?

I went to the store and looked everywhere, asked for it, nobody knew what I was talking about... (no, I didn't have my helmet with me)

Thanks,

Marcos

Is it a lube or just a good cleaner for chains?

[tat2]

lube

It's a lube that does a pretty good job of cleaning as it goes on. Read my first post that reviews it.
