I just have a quick question, So I know Tri Flow is pretty much the #1 choice (in my book at least) for lubricant, I used to have a bottle of Tri Flow Superior Dry Lubricant and I ran out a while ago and that shit was perfect. But I wanna know if there is any reasonable substitute, I'm still gonna buy Tri Flow but just if I am not in the most convenient situation, what would an okay substitute be.

So would "3 in 1 oil" be alright for drivers? DW40 is obviously idiotic for drivers (just saying that to get that out of the way)

Anyway that is all I am asking, thanks for reading!

Yes it will be fine, I used to use it all the time for mine. Although I added a bit of grease as well.

Olive oil for the win.

On a serious note though, my mate used cooking oil for brake fluid on his dh bike

...more

I use WET CHAIN LUBE.

Honestly most greases are too thick and gum drivers up. A thinner grease or oil works a LOT better.
