Fresh Goods Sunday - Finish Line Pedal and Cleat Lubricant

When we were over in the Lakes during the Oct school holiday week we always call in past Arragons Cycles in Penrith. They stock Finish Line products which I have been using for many years now. They had a tub of the small sample bottles of Pedal and Cleat lube. My Ritchey pedals / cleats have been suffering from a dry squeak for a while. I spray GT85 on them but after 20 miles or so they squeak again. I bought the sample bottle to try out and have applied a couple of coatings to each side of the pedals and a coat on the cleats. So far the cleats have not squeaked again. The lube is very thin and I spread it about with my finger but the bigger bottle is an aerosol so that will get over that problem. I will get  bigger bottle when I am shopping the next time for some new bike gear. The rrp is steep at a tenner but a quick google and most of the shops / retailers and discounting the product.
RRP £9.99 but shop around £5.89 here

Manufacturers blurb -
Clipless pedals require regular maintenance for optimum performance and long component life. Finish Line Pedal & Cleat Lubricant sprays on to fully and evenly coat all frictional surfaces and is engineered to ensure fast engagements and smooth releases every time. Thanks to a 100% dry-to-the-touch micro-thin coating, there is no oily, greasy film or unwanted stain when you walk around in your shoes.
Pedal & Cleat Lubricant is formulated specifically with Teflon™ fluoropolymer and surface bonding resins to create an ultra slick, protective dry film. This film does not absorb abrasive contaminants, which reduces friction, prevents annoying squeaks and premature wear. It also helps prevent corrosion by repelling moisture.
Pedal & Cleat Lubricant was designed and formulated to maximize the performance of any pedal and cleat system and is so effective that it is factory approved by Speedplay.
