I bought Pedro's Ice Wax because PBK told me to and I may as well have
used soap. I did everything it said - cleaned the chain first, applied
generously, allowed it to "set up" overnight - and my dura ace running
gear could not complete 100kms without squeaking. Maybe Road Rage is
lighter and better for the road, but Ice Wax is the worst lube I have
ever used.

It's what it says it is! PBK sell what seems to be the entire Pedro's
range:

But does it reduce or induce aggro by the cyclist or towards the cyclist?

An exact account of my experience with Ice Wax. Don't bother with
it. I found myself putting it on every ride only to have noisy
clatter return after about an hour.

I now use Le Tour lube that I got from Branford Bike (the store that
burnt down but is now back in business I think). It's great stuff
and silenced my aging Veloce drive-train a treat. I put some on
every couple of weeks (about 300 to 500kms).

Maybe road rage is what you get after using Pedro's products?!

I wonder if their pumps are any good? I've been thinking of picking
one up from Torpedo7, based on their advert material - but if it's all
hot air I'd love to know.

Not -quite- the whole range. Unlike chainreaction cycles they don't
stock pedro's lip balm (in three different flavours). No I'm not
kidding.

It makes it that much easier to insert the frame pump when some twonk cuts
you off.

Why would anyone want it to be easy?

Why not stick to Coca Cola? It cleans bicycle components AND you could
even drink the stuff. Or you could try pepsi. ;)

Yes, as a drink it makes a wonderful degreaser.

Unlike the 'Continental' ones I bought cheaply in my last PBK order -
they seem to be made of cheese, the way they bend.

Yeah... I got a set of those. The little lip at the end of one now
bends the OTHER way. I only carry them now in case my other ones break.

Hmmm, psychological effect only. Might as well bin them.
