Real cyclists would certainly use Lard as a bare minimum, or Atora Suet for the hardcore Sportive rider. Veggie cyclists may prefer TREX obvs....

Not Cookeen?

I read a couple of obituaries recently. I was impressed by the sheer resilience of the man, surviving all manner of financial, professional and personal crises........and bouncing back with a large glass of wine in his hand. I hope he enjoyed his slightly chaotic life.

Although he ultimately wasn't all that resilient, dropping off his perch at 65 as he did.

Because this isn't an obituary thread, I feel on safe ground saying that Keith Floyd always got on my wick.

But if you have a Colnago fitted out with the latest Campagnolo running gear, nothing but the finest extra-virgin single-estate olive oil will do. (Edit, thinking about it the Italians do a nice line in special lard: lardo from Colonna https://www.greatitalianchefs.com/features/lardo-di-colonnata-hidden-treasure-in-the-apuan-alps)

Is Campagnolo still a thing?
I recall old Huret derailleurs used to run smoothly when lubed with a suitably runny brie....

For some of us he's still a role-model....

Not Cookeen?

Cookeen (because usable straight from the fridge) is preferred in more moderate climates or for winter use. Trex is better when the thermometer is regularly over 10C. As the globe warms am expecting sales of Cookeen to decline notably unless they reformulate!
Of course, over the pond they use Crisco for all weathers, heathens the lot of them....
