GT85

[Fnaar]

If you go the The Factory Shop, they occasionally have a cheapo version of GT85/WD40 which smells quite nice. I bought a can for about £1.

I'm curious - do you really get through that much of the stuff? If so, what do you use it for and how frequently?

A can lasts me at least 18 months. Probably means I don't ride enough

It's a shared deal between three other cyclists, my son and two friends, since all the bikes are serviced by myself at my house it seemed a good idea to buy them in a little bit of a bulk buy.

Should the weather conditions be a little wet and sloppy (road crap) the mechs and dérailleurs are given a light dusting as well as the clipless pedals before we set off. After any ride, the bikes are washed down, left to dry and a GT85 soaked rag is rubbed over the frames, wheels, cables ready for our next outing.

So as you can understand one can doesn't last long between four regularly used bikes.

I left two GT85 chains hanging in the airing cupboard last night... the kitchen smelt wonderful this morning.

I wonder if AmbiPur will consider doing a new scent?

Conversely, do you think the makers of GT 85 will team up with Glade and make an apple and cinnamon Christmas version?

A lubricant, non-stick additive and deodorant....
Now I wonder how many uses that could have?!!!

Great idea !!
Seasonal turbo training anyone?

Jeez, that takes me back..... R reg FSIE anyone?


I occasionally go vermin shooting with a guy who runs his landrover on used cooking oil. Sometimes following him across a field is like following a burger van.

I've just bought 12 cans of GT85 for £27 ...should see me through the summer

You'd have had change from a £20 in Halfords

It's is a well known fact, so well known that I can not beleive anyone has thus far not mentioned it, that Chuck Norris uses GT 85 to clean his teeth of a morning, and sprays it on his toast.

Really? I thought I'd seen it cheap at £2.99 in The Range. Flaming Tesco's charge over £5 a can, the rip-off merchants!!

 

[Sandra6]

It's usually a fiver, but it's half price at the moment AND falls into the cycle's 3 for 2, so if you bought 12 you'd get 4 of them free.

I Doubt it, unless you do a "under the counter deal" for me "

I prefer the trigger jobbies - works great as an underarm spray, but If I'm going out on the pull, I'll whip the top off and 'splash it on all over'

I find that the water dispersant properties of GT85 are the perfect cure for cycling related problems like betty swollocks and army sweatpits.
