Your cart is empty.Dusty and dry rides require different lubes than miserably wet and muddy adventures, so Rock N Roll made the Absolute Dry Lube to satisfy your chain when the going gets hot and dry. It's thin, so it will seep easily into rollers and cogs without picking up dirt, grime, or muck. It will need to be re-applied more often than a thicker lube, but that's a small price to pay for increased chain life--Rock N Roll says you can get 8,000 miles out of a single chain if you're careful.

Even when riding on a paved surface, your chain, chainrings, cassette or freewheel, derailleurs and derailleur pulleys will get all gunked up from whatever the wind blows into them. Although the proportion of the lubricant to solvent is lower in a dry lube, a wet lube will often just attract even more dirt and deposits into your bike's drivetrain defeating its purpose.Rock N Roll Dry Lube is a great compromise in dry and potentially windy conditions. For continued wet weather, it may not be the best option, but for day to day dry weather it works quite well

Rock 'n' Roll Absolute Dry might persuade me away from waxing my chains. It feels at least as slick as waxed chains, not quite as clean running but much cleaner than any other wet lube I've tried. Plan on applying it pretty much every ride -- it starts out quiet but after about 20 miles chain noise is audible. It probably doesn't need to be applied every ride, but if you like a quiet chain, figure on applying it every 20-50 miles. I'm guessing it's mostly PTFE in naptha, but it sure works as claimed by Rock 'n' Roll and fans of Absolute Dry. It leaves a slick feel that isn't like oil or wax, and doesn't attract gunk around the rear derailleur pulleys like most oils and even some liquid waxes like White Lightning Easy Lube.

Been riding for almost 10 years now and used lots of lube, but upon a friends recommendation I ordered some of the absolute dry and let me tell you this is some really good lube. I ride around 120 miles a week and reapply once a week let me tell the chain stays really clean, when you wipe it off you get the normal black stuff coming off on the rag but this lube cleans really well and shifts really well also. I have the Gold and Extreme but this Absolute is my go to lube. Highly recommend!!

I’m a long-time user of Rock N Roll Gold but I thought I’d give the red (Absolute Dry) version a try on my dedicated trainer bike. That bike’s always indoors so obviously it’s used in the driest possible conditions. Amazingly, I might actually be even happier with this stuff than I am with the Gold and I LOVE the gold. I apply it generously to my chain every once in a while, wipe it off, and my drivetrain has never run smoother. My cog and chain also looks incredibly clean. It worked so good on my trainer bike that I decided to use it on my road bike as well. Since I mostly ride in dry conditions the results have been the same. I’m now sold on the red for my road bikes and the gold for my gravel bike and mtb. I’ve tried a lot of lubes and nothing beats Rock N Roll.

Used on a Mountain bike in mainly dry conditions. Seems to hold up well, 20 miles or so. No real build up over time. Does not shift quite as well as my other lube, Extreme Purple. The only thing I don't like is the bottle. It is IMPOSSIBLE to control the first drips when the bottle is tipped over. Be prepared to dump 2 or 3 drips on the ground when the bottle is first tipped.

It is a great dry lube!!! Normally you shouldn't apply dry lube to your dirty chain but somehow this lube also removes the dirt (just a bit of it); still, apply it after you clean your chain and cassette. Overall very satisfied!

Rock N Roll lubricants are the best product for cleaning and lubing the chain that I've ever used in my 20 years of road bike cycling on clean roads and beach sandy bike paths.Previously I used Roll N Gold which was outstanding. But I live in a perfect climate for riding where moisture is not a problem. Consequently, I switched recently from Gold to Absolute Dry and it works even better than the Gold. Absolute lubes and cleans as good Gold but afterward, the chain stays cleaner and rejects dirt best with the Absolute Dry. After my ride when I wipe my chain with a rag it shines up like it is brand new and wipes off better with the Absolute Dry than the Gold.

This lube fit my needs very well. I bicycle (MTB-Hybrid)) in Arizona, with a dry and dusty climate. The dry nature of this lube works well in that environment. Initially I used it as directed as it can double as a cleaning treatment as well. As I have regular cleaning routine other than that, I use a micro (needle) oiler to apply to keep from being wasteful. I still flood each link roller after cleaning and briefly wipe off (minimal) excess.Because I have a nickel plated chain (silver) and the lube is red, I can see the amount of dry lube that is retained. This stuff does stick to you chain once dry. There were other wet lubes that I used to use that worked well from a lubrication stand point, but attracted so much grit/grim that wear on my cogs and rings was unacceptable. So far this is the best dry lube I have found for my conditions.
