I had been using this for ages, having stocked up on it when CRC were selling it for buttons in-store. Now that my stock has run out, and having tried a few other things, I'd like to get more, but can't find it for sale anywhere in UK, or Europe for that matter. Has it ceased to exist? Is there anything similar out there of it has?

    I think they stopped selling it outside the US, you never know it might just be they need a new distributor. You can buy it from the US on eBay but of course it will be daft money by the time you get it.
  • Having got onto using it because I could get the 16oz bottles for under a fiver, that's not going to happen.

    Looking into it, it seems it can only be sent by surface mail because of some USPS regulation, so it's silly money and time.

    I've tried loads of different lube over the years and ended up using Rock and Roll Gold as my favourite. With the supply drying up, I've started using this stuff and very happy with it:

    It's very clean, much like the RnR - though a little bit more viscous to apply.

    I had no idea that you couldn't get it in the UK any longer, which is a bummer as I really liked it and the Gold version was my lube of choice, come rain or shine.
  • I used it all the time but lately found it was too thin and wondered if the formula had changed. I switched to Muc Off Hydro Dynamic which is fantastic but goes black and filthy. Silent drive chain and fantastic shifting much better than RR Gold.

  • Just paid up for the first order. It is coming back to the UK in November via a friendly shop. As a user I need personal stock so I figured the only way I was going to get some was to buy a few thousand bottles - a little extreme I know. There will be announcements in the cycling press well the trade press initially as I will be selling to other retailers mostly at least that's the plan.

  • Good to know, man. I'll keep an eye out.

    Good job. I hope you're going to stock the Cable Magic, cos that's great stuff.

    Oh yes cable magic got lots of that on its way. In fact the entire range has been bought except the workshop tubs of the greases I leave that for next time.
