On the subject of lube...I was stroking my pump dry the other day and realized there was some chaffing going on. What's the best thing for lubing a pump? It seems silicone or triflo work well but still pick up crap. Seems like this dry lube would work well for that too.

I hope no one took that the wrong way :)

Not something that's water-based as they tend to get sticky with prolonged use, try a slicone-based one...

I use triflow or silicone but they seem to pick up dirt quickly and then the problems occur even faster. Maybe that dri-lube will work on pumps also?
