I saw this post on another board. Has anyone tried any of the extra dry lubricant? It is supposed to be similar to SB-10 (which I have not tried yet, but am planning a trip to the local bike shop to get some this weekend). Another one mentioned was Pedro's extra dry lube. www.rei.com/product/4161.htmI may have to give this stuff a try too.

We have been using SB-10 since last November on our WIRL cars with good results. Panzer

I haven't done any controlled tests, but I believe SB-10 is faster and lasts longer. It is thinner and the amount used is not as critical as with Nye Oil. I do think there is a one race breakin with oils when the car has been sitting overnight or longer. Maybe a 1/100th or so.

Any links on where to purchase? I have been searching the web forever and can only find an Italian website and a place on the east coast with no on-line order capability

I just spoke with the lady at Jenex and she said their supply of SB-10 was recently wiped out by a bunch of pine heads buying it for their PWD cars. They expect to get a new supply in by September. In the meantime they have X-Dry Lubricant available for $9.95 which she said may by better than SB-10, at least it seems to be on bicycles. I was not convinced so I bought some to test and will let the group know the results.

As an alternate to the SB-10 or pedros you could also try this www.voodew.com/ Their test procedures and comparisons look good compared to the pedros and they have a sample kit available for free + $1 shipping. J

I just ordered Pedro's xtra dry lube and a bottle of Voo Dew.
I found a place that I believe is in Canada that has SB-10 in stock. I will see about ordering that as soon as I get an address.
Thanks to all!

SB-10 is Dupont Krytox. Miller-Stephenson carries Krytox from 1/2 oz needle bottles for $24.50, 1 oz. for $37.50, 2 oz. for $50.00. Discounts are available for 5 or more. This is for the new 143 series oil which is better than the standar krytox oil because of new additives which reduce friction. The standard Krytox is $17.00 for 1/2 oz, but the price drops when ordering 4 to $11.50. These oils are available in viscosities ranging from 100 to 107. I believe SB-10 is 103. The XP1ao oil has the lowest viscosity of 7 at 68 degrees. It works in a Temp range from -94 to + 150F. Miller-Stephenson has offices in Conn, Ill, Calif & Ontario. USA # is 800-992-2424. Canada is 800-323-4621.
