Some people probably use WD-40 for a "personal lubricant", but that doesn't
mean it's a good idea.

RuGlyde is the right stuff. You can also get it at NAPA. I've never
seen it in a container smaller than a gallon. Here's the NAPA part
numbers from http://www.napaonline.com:
RuGlyde Gallon, in an opaque white gallon jug with "RuGlyde" and the NAPA
symbol on the label:
Item#: BK 7651338
Price: $13.49
This is blue stuff, in a transparent gallon jug that looks like a
windshield washer jug, the picture of the label doesn't say RuGlyde
on it, just the NAPA symbol and "Tire Mounting Lubricant".
Gallon:
Item#: BK 7652434
Price: $7.49
RuGlyde 5 gallon bucket:
Item#: BK 8272511
Price: $63.49
RuGlyde 50 gallon metal drum (no price given):
Item#: BK 8272532

I use washing up liquid. There again, I use it on my hair if we're out
of shampoo.

Many lubes make the tire too slick for the tire irons to grip the
tire. WD40 is a good balance of "slick enough" and "not too slick".

I've had zero problems with RuGlyde being too slippery, I have
a Harbor Freight tire changer and a Coats tire bar. Changing
tires is so easy with my setup I've been actively soliciting
everyone I know who rides, to drop in for free tire changes.
Not trying to take any paying customers away from your buddy at
RT&T, though.

Ah... for some reason, I thought it was okay to use shampoo (or shower
gel) as washing-up liquid (which I've resorted to when camping), but not
vice versa. OTOH, maybe that's not the reason...

I've no idea about the semantic differences in the UK/US language.
However, soaps are specific group of chemicals made from saponification of
fats & oils. A process that has been around for millenia.
Detergents are compounds. Technically, adding a perfume to a soap makes a
detergent, but common useage implies a detergent is soap free.

I glanced at the links above, and nowhere could I find any mention of
salt being added to soap. Precipitating soap with it, sure, but not
*adding* it to the final product.

On the other hand, even Prell shampoo won't remove transmission grease from
your hair but dish "soap" will. To long ago to remember what it was.
Probably Dawn would be the best now. Sure glad one never has to work
completely under a bike. >> Stay informed about: Tire changing hardware - recommendation? |
