Sprayed on a cloth it's good for cleaning Ti frames.
And shoot me if you will, but it's great for cleaning chains before oiling them.

Gt85 is a poor lubricant. It's best use is as a water displaced to be used as well as a good oil.

It's a great lubricant if you only need a light oil.

Well it's not a GREAT lubricant regardless of how light you want the oil to be. It's better than nothing but why would you use it when there is better options out there. It won't last long at all especially in the wet.
And when would you need a light oil? To save 3 watts in a race situation? Again there are better oils.
Yes you can use it and re apply regular but why. I can't think of a reason why it would be preffered over a better oil.

GT85 is my only chain lube.
I wash the chain same as the rest of the bike with car shampoo, wipe dry, and spray the chain with GT85.
Light lubricant, as said, so it needs to be done after every ride.
Does it work?
My Rose is still on its original chain after about 5,000 miles.

If you want a light oil, it is a great lubricant, because it is a light oil. I can't see how you can argue otherwise.

I find baby oil better for polishing Ti frames. Gives you nice soft hands as well.

Goose fat ( much better than WD40 for roast spuds)
