ProGold Xtreme Chain Lubricant 4oz, Yellow, One Size

Product Information

Not enough to actually do a good job lubing a chain, but enough to keep a door hinge swinging freely. I put between 10,000 and 12,000 miles per year on the bicycle, so I want the chains (and drivetrain) to last as long as possible. It also doesn't pick up dirt, dust and debris, which is something I get particularly frustrated by with other lubes I have used.

I really rate Prolink ProGold if you just want a liquid lube that's clean and good in every condition. So in the winter, your lube should be heavier and stickier, and in the dry of summer, it can be thinner, if it’s not all rainy and muddy out. If the degreaser is strong enough to break down the old chain lube, guess what, it’s strong enough to keep the fresh stuff from getting in.If you’re a regular commuter or a year-round long distance cyclist, then a wet lube is going to be our tip for you. I have two chains so I can always have one ready to swap over, minimal downtime, or I can wax both at the same time.

Or alternatively you intend to keep your cassette throun many chains, and you can for probably 10 chains if you wear to 100. Having squirted it onto a clean chain I waited a whole 520 miles before chickening out and applying some more. A thin-bodied lubricant which utilizes metal friction reducer technology for smooth shifting and a quiet drive train. That said, we’d still advise ensuring your chain is correctly lubed because while it might not help you go any faster (or at least not much), it'll certainly prevent the chain from going rusty and squeaking, and there's nothing more annoying than a squeaky chain. After testing this on various items, my opinion is that this concentration depends on what you are cleaning.As you can tell from the name, Finish Line Dry Teflon is a dry lube, but unlike others on this list, it uses Teflon fluoropolymer instead of wax to create a dry finish. I used to be an avid cleaner but chains seem to last longer if you use wet lube, NEVER strip / degrease the chain, add one more drip of lube per link every two or three rides and keep the outside clean using an old t-shirt.
