I love Boeshield because it burns so clean. But sometimes I feel like it gums up the works and adds noticeable resistance to the drivetrain. I have felt in the past that it does this after fresh application. But, as with all things bike, there are so many factors that determine how you feel on a bike on a given day it's hard to say for sure.
However, last night I put a heaping helpin' of it on my chain to help protect against the road salts out these days and for the ride I went on today.. It was an all out overdose for sure. The liquid version. I figure it dries as a wax and sheds so let me get alot on there to make as big a barrier as possible against the salts. Anyway, on today's ride I felt like I was pedalling through concrete, even on flats. I stopped twice to be sure a brake pad wasn't rubbing. Nothing rubbing. Anyone noticed this with their use of Boeshield. Again, it's hard to say what makes you feel sluggish on a given day. But this made my usual sluggish look sloth like. It was crazy today. I can't blame the Boeshield with certainty. But I had good energy. Not sure what's going on. Perhaps I'll try something else and see if the concrete effect goes away. Maybe road salts caked on tires slows you down? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
