Seems decent. I purchased something similar from REI because of all the stream crossings we do.

It looks crazy on the chain it's almost gel like. It works well but doesn't stay on as long as the all purpose dry lube we use. Speaking of drive trains time for me to slap on my new chain, its not getting along with the new casette.

I think I use the same wet lube as you do...

But I was looking at their kits, moreso then just a lube.

I get them discounted and for a bike specific wash and all seems like a good deal.

I did not know that. Where are you getting this information from?

It was all over the news in Aug and September, and similar notices to the one Scott posted were disseminated accordingly.

the DoD has filed a law suit against him for violating his NDA, that was when his real name was also released by fox or on of those major stations.

It was a pretty big thing as they (DoD and other agencies) got a first glimpse of his work when the book was released.

Oh wow, yeah after a few google hits come to find out everything about to guy. That's a shame, I just took his word for it in the Author's notes and figured what he was writing was legal. It's a great book regardless.

So why are they allowed to make a movie on it but can't write a book? Does the movie not have all the facts and little details?

I get that, what I am saying is why would they allow a movie on it instead of a book? There are actually several documentaries/movies on it already. Why only go after the book?

The rest of those were probably cleared through the correct channels.

Because he violated his non disclosure agreement

All of those movies were probably taken from thoughts on what happened. They pieced together what was released, and bam made a story.
This guy went out and told the story from his perspective without going through the PROPER channels. Even if he didn't release anything that was secret, it seems like all he had on his mind was a bunch of nickels.

Btw where is nickels at? I thought someone asked him a question...
