Rock N RollGold Lube
Item # RNR0002
Gold Lube
Rock 'n' Roll Gold Lube is the middle child of their three chain lubes. It's not as thick as the Extreme and not as thin as the Absolute Dry. It's good for both mountain biking as well as high-performance road riding. The folks at Rock 'n' Roll say this one gives the best chain performance in terms of making your shifting faster. Gold lube makes a geared bike feel like a fixed-gear; the movement is that smooth. Like the Extreme, the Gold has a gel membrane suspended in the fluid. The membrane seeps deep into the rollers and stays there, keeping the metal parts flexing, moving smoothly, shifting crisply, and doing everything quietly.
Rock 'n' Roll lube cleans and lubes at the same time. Dribble it on by putting the bike in its biggest gear and backpedal. Drip from the top over the chainring or cog. Wipe off the excess. Shift to the small ring in front to wipe off the big ring. Wipe till the chain shines. You can ride right away, but letting the excess evaporate for a few hours or overnight is best. Rock 'n' Roll recommends not re-lubing until you hear squeaking. If you have more than one Rock 'n' Roll lube in your tool chest, you can put on the thicker formulations when it's wet and then apply the thinner when its dry and you don't have to degrease in between.
Rock 'n' Roll Gold Lube comes in a 16oz. bottle and should last you for several seasons.

16oz bottle = "Complete Kit"
Competitive Cyclist has been my go-to for all my bike related orders and they have come through each and every time. Wonderful to work with every time as well!! Thanks for the help on this order Henry!! Following through with the contents of this item. It is in fact the "Complete Kit", which comes in a Rock n Roll Gold box containing the 16oz bottle, and empty 4oz bottle, 2 drip nipple applicator tops and a cap.

I can tell the difference
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I have used many lubes and I can actually tell the difference when using this one. Very smooth shifting, cleaning while lubricating, and spins easier. Great stuff!

Hi, Whats best way for application? I have been using R & N Gold for over 1/2 a decade . I had read someplace to generously drip on the chain itself and then wipe it clean till chain shines and is dry. For reapplication time cared for gear doesn't squeak, i re lube when i there is a lag in pedal smoothness. Like to know view from experts out there. thanks

My favorite lube!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Love that it cleans and lubes at the same time, it has made chain/drivetrain maintenance so much easier! I will never again use those sticky lubes that cause the dirt to stick everywhere and requiring a scrubbing post-ride. This stuff is awesome! Favorite lube I've ever used!

Road and mtb
- Familiarity:

I ride my bikes a lot, like everyday for hours...and hours. So I need my gear to last me as long as possible. This lube does the trick! I wash each of my bikes every couple weeks and then reapply lube and wipe the chain with a dry rag after every ride. Keeps my chain clean, dry, and functioning perfectly. No issues whatsoever.

Best dry lube ever
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I live in Utah where it is dry and dusty. Needless to say, this stuff fits and works great for dry conditions. The best part is, you won't need to clean your chain because this lube does not pick up dust.

Best way to buy - in bulk

Been my go-to chain lube for over 5 years now. The applicator can be fussy but once you get use to it, I've had no issues.

Pretty Bueno!

This lube has been my go to for a long time now. It is awesome that it comes in a bulk bottle too! The small applicator bottle leaks pretty badly, but I wouldn't let that change my mind on buying this again.

Does the trick!
Not sure i can classify myself as a bike expert or someone who knows bikes really well, but i have never had any issues with my bike thanks to Rock N Roll. Recommended!

Favorite all around lube
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Love this lube for dry, dusty rides and wet, muddy rides alike. It works great in all conditions. Be sure to put on a clean chain or you will make a huge mess. This kit comes with a large 16oz bottle for replenishing the smaller bottle. I will put a small bearing in the bottom of the bottle just to help mix things up.

Rock N Roll lubes are my go to. I used the gold for my road bikes and for early season mountain biking when trails are tacky. Living in UT things get dusty quickly and I switch to the Rock N Roll Extreme. Both work great!

Degrease first, then lube
Great product! Be sure to apply to a clean chain. I use WD 40 degreaser to clean my chain first. 4 stars because the bottle leaks. I highly recommend storing it in a zip lock bag.

Use a small funnel. No biggie.

My Go-To Lube
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
It's been said a half dozen times below, but it's true -- it just works. It's light, and goes on easy. It keeps my drivetrain running smooth without collecting nastiness, even in our dusty desert conditions. I generally reapply every few MTB rides.

Just Works
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Usually use white lightning, but figured I'd give this a try. So far it's working great in the dry dusty conditions we have here in UT. As long as you follow the directions and wipe your chain really well there is no build up on the chain and it lasts for a couple rides.

Can it work too well?
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
This stuff lasts and lasts, so long it may create bad habits. Shake well, put it on, cycle the gears, let it sit, then wipe it off. I'm not a chain whisperer, maybe it's because this stuff keeps my chain quite, so I never have to worry about it.

Chain lubes are different?
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I've gone through most of my life thinking chain lubes can't be all that different from each other. I've also endured some fairly unpleasant drive-train issues the past few years, experiencing super annoying grinding and blaming it on the switch the the new 1x setups. I would clean and lube everything, adjust everything perfectly, and my drive-trains (mostly sram X01 and XX1) would still not feel all that smooth after the first hundred miles or so. Finally though I switched to this Rock N Roll lube, and I'll be damned the grinding is gone and my drive-train feels as good as day 1. It is still hard for me to grasp how this lube can be so much better than the other name brand products I have had, but all I can say is the stuff works.
