Best general use lubricant & metal protectant!
This is a great multi-purpose protectant/lubricant. It is my one go-to metal protectant. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available off the shelf in California. We first ran across it while looking for something to lubricate a car lock while traveling through Canada a few years back, and have depended on it ever since for a general lubricant and metal protectant. Highly recommended for the shop, car or home!

soup for the asian soul
2 of 2 found this helpful While aware that commercial shark fishing was an issue, the actual scale of the fishing and it's recent growth were a revelation. Of course, the utter waste inherent in the fin industry really must be seen to be appreciated. This is a film that must be seen by those who support the fin industry: the average asian consumer who feels that shark fin soup has cultural or health value. All of the uproar, protests, and boycotts by westerners have little impact on this institution. Change will come about through the self-education of asians, and this film has the potential to create the momentum for that change. The change in public awareness documented in the local fishing communities was encouraging, but as long as the demand is there for the fins, there will be fishermen to supply them.
The detailed insight into the nature of sharks was new to me as well, the footage breathtaking (though not to my diving neighbor who has also had first hand experience with sharks). I wish this film had done more on the sharks within the oceanic ecosystem complexities, but I cannot short the filmmaker for following his heart and using his talents & resources to expose us to the unbalance and waste, to instill in us a sense of urgency.
It is unfortunate that this film was released in this year of the Beijing Summer Olympics, as there has been such a piling-on of criticism of Chinese culture & politics from the west, that I am afraid that the message of this film is being drowned out, if not censored, by the west as well as the east for it's political message. I know of few films that have won so many awards and good reviews that have had such poor distribution in the U.S.
I am giving this film an Excellent rating primarily for it's high craft and potential to motivate change.

Spiral-wound housing, otherwise seems fine.
2 of 3 found this helpful In the past, the spiral-wound reinforcing in the housing for derailleur cables was abandoned in favor of parallel strands, due to the lack of compressive resistance inherent to a spiral winding. I haven't kept pace with many technological changes in the bicycle world, so that is why I was surprised to see this being used once more. What I do like about the cable is that it is more supple than parallel-stranded cable, and easy to cut, easier to work with. I am using it on a test build with an older frame & components, making the application much less fussy than might be the case if I were using brifters.
