Boeshield T-9 Lubricant

It’s been a while since planes were chain-driven, but the metal parts on aircraft are subjected to some pretty adverse environmental conditions and you can’t just pull over mid-Atlantic for a quick spot of maintenance. Soon after Boeing Corporation developed T-9 to protect their aircraft, some clever cookies realised it was equally applicable to other moving metal bits, particularly bike chains. This all-purpose lube claims to last for ages, repel water, mud and dust to keep your drivetrain free of gunk, whilst simultaneously providing squeaky-free lubrication; we’re a bit disappointed that it doesn’t also allow your bike to fly. A 113g bottle of T-9 will set you back around $18.
