![]() However, framesets treated internally with oily preserves, turned the crystal a murky brown/black after a month or so. So where’s the rub? Well, maybe a team mechanic stripping bikes after every race will be able to spot component health at a-glance. Regular garden hose rinse-offs have made negligible impression on its integrity but predictably, jet washing strips in seconds. Superficial grime aside, a set of ancient Campagnolo Athena showed no sign of ingress, let alone need for replenishment 18 months in. I was also pleasantly surprised by how much still clung to headset and unsealed cup and cone hub bearings. Even after several salty winters, fixed sprockets spun free from hub threads with relative ease. Though Crystal will soften slightly, it seems otherwise unaffected by extremes of temperature and has remained plentiful when components were stripped for inspection 6, 12, 18 and 24 months later. By contrast, I’ve been relatively cavalier when it comes to donning gloves and haven’t experienced any dryness, or skin irritation to date. ![]() ![]() Mudguards or not, all of my bikes sporting rear facing seat collar slots wear a protective boot made from cast off inner tube. This is to prevent water and ingress thrown up from the rear wheel sneaking inside the frame.Įven budget butyl remains unaffected by the grease, so no surprise that seals and yes, rubbery suspension stuff seems very happy. Perfect for precise delivery to bearings, smaller threaded components including stem and mudguard bolts but there’s also a workshop friendly 16oz tub.Ī thin layer is all that’s required on quill stems and seatposts, or you’ll run the risk of them creeping inside the frame as you ride. I’ve built eight bikes and reckon there’s enough for another 10. Ours was the 100ml squeezable, gun-friendly tube for easy, fuss free application. Theory goes this cleanliness is actually so mechanics can gauge bearing or similar component health at a glance and supposedly prevents contaminant sticking. It doesn’t stain, or easily transfer to clothes/surfaces either, which is a boon if you like working on bikes from the comfort of your kitchen.
