White Lightning Race Day Chain Lube Review
"Race Day" is a lube like White Lightning, but with less wax. It is a wet lube geared towards muddy and wet mountain biking; it's supposed to hold up to those conditions much better than regular White Lightning.
Pros: The lube goes on pretty wet, and it does work for wet rides (for at least one ride.)
It requires less shaking before application, compared to regular White Lightning.
Cons: It's still a wax-based lube, so it gunks up your chain and derailleurs eventually.
Also, unlike original White Lightning, it doesn't run clean. It will pick up a lot of dirt and dust when used in dry conditions.
The Final Word
It's still a wax-based lube, which means it will get gunked up. I would only use this for mountain biking in wet or muddy conditions, but even then, I'd prefer a different wet lube.
So I actually only use this before a wet and muddy mountain bike ride when I know I'll have to scrub the drivetrain afterward.
