Zefal Bike Pro Lube

The spray has a ton of great uses for bikes, but when it comes to bike chains, it depends on what you’re using it for. WD-40 is primarily a degreaser—a solvent that removes contaminants from an object, which helps to protect it from rust and corrosion. So it can effectively clean and degrease your bike chain, and is especially good at removing any debris, gunk, and rust that is attached to the links to help it get moving again. But while the product is advertised as a lubricant in addition to its other uses, it doesn’t contain enough lubricant to keep your bike chain running smoothly, and the minimal amount that it contains isn’t good quality anyway. When your bike inevitably finds itself in the rain, the WD-40’s lubricant will easily wash off, leaving the chain in worse condition than before.

WD-40 is considered the ultimate multi-purpose spray, capable of de-squeaking hinges, loosening joints, and a whole lot more. It’s one of the most common products you’ll find in somebody’s toolkit, but is WD-40 good for bike chains? Good quality lubricants include Smoove Lube, Rock n Roll Gold, or Green Oil Wet Lube. WD-40’s 3-IN-ONE range does include a few products that will work better as a lubricant than the original WD-40, but you’re better off getting a lubricant designed specifically for bike chains. In summary, WD-40 is great for cleaning and degreasing your chain, but doesn’t work well as a lubricant. It will provide some small amount of lubrication, but nowhere near enough for your bike chain to run smoothly. It’s best to use a high-quality, bike-specific lubricant instead.

Along with engine oil, gear-less machines have a different grade of oil that is commonly known as gear oil. It has completely different properties and differences in drain intervals.Still, manufacturers know what conditions arise and they decide on a multi-grade oil by keeping all of the conditions in their mind. Experts believe that buyers should keep the same oil as directed by the brand for almost the first 15,000 km. This includes almost 6 services that the average rider will complete in almost 12-15 months. Getting an engine flush after that and using an oil that is the best as per your needs would be the best option that one could consider after the given period.

High-performance motorcycles use synthetic engine oil for their superb lubrication property and high-temperature resistance. It is the most expensive type of engine oil and could only be used in two cases. The first person who should consider synthetic oil is the rider who burns a full fuel tank every day on the highway. The second is the one who lives in areas with extreme temperatures. Both cases require extra engine care and synthetic oil does that for the rider. A regular rider with 30 kilometres of daily riding will not need this oil as they will reach their destination before the actual benefit of the oil starts. An engine is basically a set of parts bound together in such a way that they convert the energy from a fuel into mechanical force. That further helps you rev your motorcycle to the limits described by the manufacturer. These three oils differ a lot in price and their usability decreases as the price go up. As the majority of buyers in the Indian automotive market go for commuters, consumption of mineral oil is much higher than synthetic oil. Still, high-end bikes need synthetic oil as standard as using mineral oil will maximize the damage due to their higher temperature operations. The manufacturer claimed engine oil is good for an everyday rider as it is the same oil at which they have tested their bike before its launch for a long distance (say 1,00,000 km).The value that comes before the W symbolizes the viscosity of the oil when the engine is cold. The numbers have no direct relation to any unit such as temperature. It would be false to consider 10W30 good for a cold start at 10 degrees. It is actually a relative number, which shows that 5 at the front will bring a better cold start than 20. W stands for winter. The larger the number after W, the more is the oil capable of holding its actual position at a higher temperature. This means the bike won’t break down easily if it is a big number.Coming to the engine oil grades, you must have come across different grades of oils like 5W20, 10W40 and many more. Let’s understand what these numbers mean. This type of oil uses the right blend of natural as well as chemical products for its making. It is used in motorcycles that run more than usual every day. The high operating time enables the rider to keep the engine secure with the higher heat resistance of the semi-synthetic oil. For those who use their vehicle for just a few kilometres every day, it is hard to distinguish between both of them and sometimes, better oil turns evil by restricting performance due to better viscosity. No more than 30 per cent of synthetic oil is blended into the mineral oil for making a semi-synthetic oil. Changing the engine oil cannot just single-handedly help you attain perfect service as replacing the oil filter, cleaning the air filter and getting your motorcycle’s injector cleaned at given intervals will help you enjoy the best-ever riding experience.This gives enough time for the engine to get as smooth as butter flowing on a hot pan. What comes next is for the purist. If you plan your first trip from North to South right after your run-in period, do remember to take your own pack of synthetic oil when visiting the service centre.Vad kul att du hittat hit!

One good tip is to apply chain lubricant in the big chainring and largest rear sprocket, this will open up chain links just that little bit more and help lubricant penetration.

It’s a maintenance point that can be regularly overlooked but lubricating your chain using the best bike chain lube will save you effort and money, it’s as simple as that. A clean and correctly lubricated chain will prevent unnecessary drivetrain wear, but also run more efficiently helping you go faster for the same effort. You can also check out our guide on the best bike chain wax if you are interested in taking this to the next level.

Revolubes specialises in making lubricants for the bike, motorsports and fishing sectors. It is a wet chain lubricant (meaning this isn’t a wax lube that dries, rather than a lube for rainy days) and it has performed fantastically during ZF testing.There are a vast array of chain lubricants on the market these days. Independent testers like the experts at Zero Friction Cycling have a wealth of information and data on the subject. All of the drip lubes listed in our guide have been independently tested by Zero Friction and can be backed up with a set of results. Any one of these chain lubricants will really help care for your drivetrain.

CeramicSpeed UFO All Conditions drip lubricant is the third generation of the UFO drip lube series. It’s low wear and super fast, perfect for a race day chain or performance training and riding. If you really stay on top of chain maintenance this could be perfect for you.Like many of the lubricants here, Revolubes recommends you apply the lubricant to a thoroughly cleaned chain. They now have a useful prep and application guide you can follow.

AbsoluteBlack’s Graphenlube is the most expensive lubricant in the guide and has been used by Tadej Pogačar to win at least one of his two Tour de France titles. It’s a wax-based lubricant containing high-quality Graphene. It does have a black colour when dry so you don’t get that super shiny chain look with this one. It’s best applied to a very clean or new chain and a submersive application is required first.Tungsten All Weather packs a punch despite its small 50ml size. It is really good value, if you prefer to stick to budget or cheaper chain lubes and spend your money on upgrades you can almost have the best of both worlds with this product. Silca Synergetic is along with Revolubes another wet lubricant. It is an oil-based lubricant that contains Tungsten disulfide (the same as the Tru Tension lube). You can see the Tungsten disulfide collected at the bottom of the bottle before shaking it up to mix. The lubricant will change from a clear colour to a dark grey/black when mixed up. Finding the right chain lube can feel a bit like trying to find the best road bike saddle for you; the lube that will perform the best for you will depend largely on where you ride, how much you ride, and how often you clean and or re-lube.

We would recommend simply splitting chain lubricants into hot melt immersive waxes and drip lubricants. I.e lubricants that come out of a bottle as a liquid and go from there based on your requirements.Most of the products listed are supported by dedicated cleaners from the respective manufacturers which helps. We would recommend removing the chain from the bike for cleaning. If you haven’t done it before it may mean learning a new job and investing in some chain link removal pliers, these do just look like a small pair of pliers and undo a chain’s connector link. A chain can be removed in a few seconds, it’s a simple job.A good example is this, imagine getting your chain perfectly clean after several baths in White Spirit, letting it dry and then applying a tiny drop of lubricant to each chain link. If that lube doesn’t penetrate the link properly, you’ll harm your chain when you use it, and the first few miles could see very high wear rates as unlubricated metal surfaces mash together due to a lack of lubricant within. Waxed-based drip lubes are popular because they work well in both wet and dry conditions and for on and off-road applications. Wax lubes are made up of friction modifiers and or products like tungsten disulfide which are often emulsified in a carrier fluid; the liquid helps the particles get where they need to be and dries, leaving just the wax inside. Due to the nature of wax, it dries and doesn’t attract much grit and can also support additives like Teflon, while coating and protecting metal components. Rex Black Diamond is the Finnish company’s top tier drip lubricant and is the drip version of the Black Diamond hot melt wax. The small bottle will go a long way and perform brilliantly.

Wet lubes as the name suggests are physically wet by nature and don’t dry like wax lube products. They tend to be similar to heavy oil or light grease in makeup. These will be long-lasting and stand up well to torrential downpours but also attract dirt and contamination more easily. So there is a balance to be struck here. Our advice would be to forget the old adage ’wet lube for wet riding’. Technology and the products on the market have moved on.For the low cost per bottle, especially in the UK. This should be one of the drip chain lubricants you should consider for all-around riding protection. It comes in the smallest bottle in the guide, but the affordable price and high performance mean it should still last a decent amount of time.

Silca Synergetic is the brand’s top wet lubricant and was initially designed for F1 applications. If you want the familiarity of a wet drip lubricant to apply to your drivetrain then give Syngergetic a look.

If you do want to up your game and try to use the best possible product to increase efficiency and lengthen drivetrain life, then start with cleaning. You will need to start with a properly cleaned chain. Investigate what degreasing products you want to use to get your chain sparkling, and head to Zero Friction Cycling which has more information than we could possibly include here on the subject and this will enable you to find the best lubricant for your riding and budget. Revolubes is a high-performing wet lubricant that has been developed with a great deal of care. Follow the application instructions below and you can enjoy one of the smoothest-feeling chain lubes. When a chain is dirty, contamination is present in each chain link in the form of metal particles, dirt or sand etc. These contaminants are suspended within a chain lubricant, specifically the carrier the lubricant is held in, and essentially form a grinding paste which will just wear your chain out from the inside. Even the best road bike groupsets will be ruined in just a few thousand miles if chain wear is terminal.In short, it’s up to you whether you want to invest more in a good chain lubricant, which may have a higher initial cost than others. It is worth thinking about, especially for mid and higher-tier groupsets which most performance road bikes generally have.

The idea behind Super Secret Drip lube from Silca is that you’re getting pretty close to immersive wax benefits and performance but in a drip lubricant from a bottle.

An affordable and clean running wax emulsion chain lubricant. If you’re looking for a great, wax all-rounder, Smoove is a product you should consider. Apply in the big chainring and largest sprocket to open up your chain links that little bit more and aid chain penetration.With this done, you can submerge and clean the chain in chain cleaner, white spirit or your chosen degreaser. Doing this with a new chain is far easier than trying to clean a dirty chain. A resealable Tupperware container is excellent for agitating the submerged chain, if you haven’t done this before you will be amazed at what comes out of the chain. It may take an overnight soak or a few rounds of cleaning to remove all of the factory packing greases and get the chain clean.

Smoove is a white-coloured wax emulsion drip lubricant from the South African company Smoove. It is 100% biodegradable and solvent free. It is cheap to buy and the 125ml bottle will last a long time making it really good value, with one bottle lasting for over 10,000km of testing.AbsolteBlack Graphen wax has won at least one Tour de France with Pog and lasts an incredibly long time between applications. It’s expensive initially but will last you a long time and perform very well.

Revolubes is one of the best wet lubricants ZF has tested, especially for drier road conditions. It’s long-lasting per application and is relatively cheap, stays clean and feels really smooth to ride.The small Black Diamond bottle uses a fine applicator, it is a little thicker and stickier out of the bottle than its competitors. Rex recommends working the lubricant into a chain with your fingers to aid penetration and to get it into the rollers.The Tru Tension All Weather is easy to apply with the fine nozzle and has a slightly grey colour out of the bottle. ZF testing found it to have very good wear rates across lubricant testing and a very good ability to clear contamination. Making this an excellent option if you ride off-road or in fouler condition.Graphenlube is incredibly long-lasting per application, up to 1800km. Low friction and has been found to perform very well in the wet. If you can live with the initial outlay, it will do very well for you. ZF was also involved in this lubricant prototype testing.

Honestly, things may just boil down to how interested you are in drivetrain cleaning and the world of chain lubes. Some riders just aren’t hugely bothered about having a mucky chain that may wear out a little faster and that’s absolutely fine.

Super Secret drip is excellent at penetrating the links of a clean chain meaning it’s working optimally from the get-go for you. Performance wise it keeps a drivetrain very clean and has very low recorded wear rates. It is also compatible with Silca Hot Melt and Mspeedwax hot melt waxes.I researched independent testing website reports to help me narrow down the best-performing drip lubricants that had been independently tested, guaranteeing the inclusion of proven, top-level products in this guide. I also spoke to manufacturers directly where I had additional questions or queries on the products themselves.

The downside to wax lubes is they take a bit more initial work to apply and maintain. Before the initial application, you’ll need to make sure any factory grease or old lube has been removed and get the chain as clean as possible. The process also takes longer, it’s advisable to apply these lubricants the night before a ride ideally.Despite releasing All-Conditions, Wet and Indoor lubricants this year, the All Conditions lube is closest to the previous UFO drip in performance but is now white instead of grey. The CeramicSpeed bottle has a ’pea’ inside to help mix the lubricant, the only lube to have this. Application is also easy with a very fine nozzle.

If a chain and cassette are worn out after 3000 miles, for example, this could be within a year’s worth of riding for plenty of cyclists. The cost of a new chain and cassette will far exceed a bottle of more premium chain lubricant. I have had to explain to plenty of cyclists that their drivetrain is completely worn out and needs replacing which has resulted in a large bill. It’s never a nice conversation, especially if you’re on the receiving end of the bad news, but it’s something that’s totally avoidable with a little effort and the right chain lube. You can trust Cyclingnews Our experts spend countless hours testing cycling tech and will always share honest, unbiased advice to help you choose. Find out more about how we test. I prepped and applied Revolubes to a KMC chain. The lubricant is also the only product to come in a glass bottle and with its own pipette applicator which is handy. Revolubes also makes a chain grease you can mix with the wet lubricant for wet and challenging conditions.

Water from a wet ride will carry contaminants into your chain links and there they will stay, wearing your chain from the inside unless they are removed and contamination is reset. You should therefore try to avoid just re-lubricating your chain after a wet ride if you can help it.It is the Danish company’s fastest lubricant. In testing, ZF found it to be very fast with the lowest recorded drip lubricant wear rate of all. CeramicSpeed claims a proper application will be around 180 miles. So this could be a good option to use if you’re racing or don’t want to reapply / clean chains every week or less.

After a wet ride ideally try to clean your chain and remove as much contamination as you can. Start by wiping down the outside, then you can use a spray degreaser to keep the chain on the bike, or remove it and essentially repeat the submersion bath in chain degreaser or white spirits etc until the liquid remains clear. You can refer to the ZF maintenance guide to help you here.Tom joined the Cyclingnews team in late 2022 as tech writer. Tom has over 10 years experience as a qualified mechanic with 5 or so of those being spent running an independent workshop. Tom has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track and has ridden and competed in most disciplines, even the odd bit of bike polo. Tom is as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike exploring the Worcestershire lanes.

Wet lubricants, as in physically wet lubricants as well as dedicated wet weather lubricants may attract more contamination, especially in muddy and or dusty conditions. So it’s important to choose your lubricant carefully or be ready to clean after a really mucky ride.To avoid this, ensuring you know how to clean your chain is an important step in the process, as it’s essential to get it as clean as possible before applying any lubricant. The difference here could be a handful of watts over your friend’s bike with the filthy black drivetrain (we all know someone with a bike like this), but more importantly, it will also save you money by extending the life of your components.

The one thing I wasn’t overly keen on was the applicator design, I found it a bit faffy and would prefer just a regular nozzle to apply the lubricant. After thoroughly prepping the KMC chain on a gravel bike I’m testing I applied Smoove and left it to set overnight. Once on, it runs really quietly which I have loved and the chain is spotless with minimal waxy buildup on pulley wheels etc. It does set with a degree of tackiness, so you may need to be hotter on maintenance if you are using it for a lot of gravel or off-road riding.Flower power wax by Effetto Mariposa is a top-performing yet eco-friendly drip chain lubricant formulated in part using oil from Sunflower seeds. The wax emulsion is water-based, and uses a high sunflower wax content alongside other naturally occurring waxes, making it vegan too.

CeramicSpeed updated its UFO drip lubricant this year and released an updated third version. Ditching the black and white bottle for a burgundy one – though we are most interested in what’s inside!With a claimed application duration of roughly 600km, the lubricant set a new record during ZF testing as the lowest cost-to-run lubricant. In a comparison of wear rates from all the ZF testing blocks and conditions, Flower Power emerged as the cheapest lubricant to run with an Ultegra 11s groupset. The goal with any chain lubricant is to have to replace drivetrain components as little as possible. This is the age-old classic. The stock answer generally tended to be ’wet for wet rides dry for dry rides’. But this is outdated now as mentioned above. Both wet and dry lubricants can be really damaging to your chain regardless of conditions if the chain is carrying a lot of contamination already. All of the lubricants in this guide are excellent. Their differences are highlighted depending on what conditions you are riding in. But any lubricant from our guide will perform very well compared to poorer lubricants on the market.For all-around riding, Flower Power is an excellent option that’s green and affordable. The only potential drawback is that your drivetrain won’t look as clean during use compared to some products in this guide.

If you’re applying a drip chain lube i.e. one from a bottle in liquid form. Just apply a decent drop of oil to each chain link. Some manufacturers recommended applying a lubricant twice, so heed their own instructions in some cases. You don’t need any lubricant on the cassette or chainrings directly. Wipe off any excess lubricant on the outside of a chain with a cloth, too little in the name of cleanliness and you won’t get very good lubricant penetration into each link which will actually increase wear. So disregard videos online where people are applying the tiniest drop of oil to a spotless chain. Wear rates just after this can be some of the highest.

Silca Synergetic was first developed as a lubricant for F1 applications and there is some interesting info on this on the Silca Website. It has tested as just about the top wet lubricant during ZF testing. It keeps the drivetrain pretty clean in use and has good application longevity.ZF has tested the slightly less premium Rex Domestique drip lubricant. Black Diamond is said to contain more premium friction modifiers so should perform more strongly. 100% of Black Diamond’s content is also a lubricant, not water which will evaporate, or a poor carrier which can trap contamination. I applied Super Secret drip on a freshly prepared new YBN chain for my track bike, the nozzle could be a little finer to aid application and you do get a little bit of mess from drips due to the thin consistency and slipperiness so take your time when applying. If you are reading this guide you may well know this already. But we will include it anyway. WD40 isn’t a chain lubricant and there are far more effective options out there. WD40 (the brand) also makes a range of bike-specific chain lubricants now that are better suited to the job, so save the WD40 (the product) for un-seizing or protecting metal parts.Vi använder kakor för personligt innehåll och annonser samt för analys av vår trafik.

Your chain will tell you when it needs to be lubed. If it’s dry and squeaky when you’re riding, it’s time to lubricate. This is likely going to be after riding in heavy rain or if you’ve never ever oiled your chain. Over lubricating your chain, on the other hand, is also bad for your chain and will annoy your bike mechanic. Excess lube attracts dirt and dust and creates gross buildup on your drivetrain. This can actually wear out your drivetrain faster than a dry chain!

Grab the rag again and repeat the chain cleaning step. It may seem counterintuitive to clean the lube off the chain right after applying it but really you are just removing excess lubricant. Chain lube is very thin and has already penetrated into the small moving parts that need to be lubricated. Now head on out for a ride and enjoy your freshly lubricated smooth and quiet chain!Bicycle chains are made up of many moving parts—pins, plates, and rollers, to be specific. Keeping your chain lubricated can greatly improve the quality of your ride as well as increasing the lifespan of your chain. Think about that one time you did the TD Five Boro Bike Tour without stretching or drinking water. How did your muscles feel the next day? A dry chain is feeling that pain. Or that other time you did the TD Five Boro Bike Tour and you ate 12 bagels and 10 energy drinks at each rest stop. How did you feel after the ride? That’s an over lubricated chain!

Lean your bike up against a wall with the chain side facing out. Grab your rag and hold it loosely around the bottom section of the chain while turning your pedals backwards with your other hand. This cleans dirt off the chain before applying the lube. Be careful when doing this to not suck your hand into the chainrings! Pay attention and hold the chain loosely. 1) A clean rag and 2) chain lube. There are many brands of chain lube on the market and all of them work. Just make sure you use something that is made specifically for bicycle chains. Can’t I just spray WD40 on my chain? Nope. It’s not a lubricant. Head into your local bike shop and ask them what they recommend. For less than $10 you can have a bottle of lube that will last nearly a lifetime. The procedure is fairly simple. Hold the chain lube bottle so that it is dripping on the rollers in the center of the chain while pedaling backwards like you did for cleaning the chain. Do this for a few rounds to ensure that you’ve applied lube to all sections of the chain. Spin the pedals around a few more times to make sure the lube has worked its way into all the parts of the chain.Susan Lindell, the shop manager at Recycle-A-Bicycle in DUMBO, Brooklyn, provides an in-depth look at chain lubrication in the first edition of TechTips.

If your bike chain is showing rust or squeaks while you ride, it’s definitely time to lube your chain. The good news is it’s an easy bike maintenance job, but how often should one do it? Well… it depends!That power from your legs when you pedal doesn’t move your bicycle on it’s own; you can thank your bike chain for that! Your bike chain transfers the power from your legs to the wheels so it’s under serious tension when you ride. Because it’s low to the ground, it can also pick up dirt, muck, sand, you name it. Regularly lubing and cleaning your chain will increase the longevity of your bike, and prevent that dreadful squeaky noise. 🥴

hawkinspeter replied to Argus Tuft: I’ve tried paraffin wax myself, but I didn’t use any solvent with it. I used to melt the wax in a small frying pan and put the chain in it. Then, sprinkle some micronised graphite on top of the chain and put some paraffin wax granules on top so that they melt and carry the graphite into the chain. Swill around a bit and then remove the chain and let it cool. Once cool, spend a bit of time removing excess wax and flexing each joint of the chain and then pop it on the bike.Where wet lubes have the trump card is in sub-optimal conditions. The wet lube is more durable and sticks to the chain better when riding in the rain, and it’s a good year-round option for UK cyclists. Because it’s more durable it needs less frequent applications and is good for very long rides.

StraelGuy: I generally get around a thousand miles a chain on my winter bike and I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with lube regimes. 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. Just my $0.02.visionset: How many miles you get out of chain is irrelevent unless you also state oyur maintenance philosophy. If you are running the whole drive train into the ground (or at least cahin and cassette) you probably can get 10,000 miles out of it. No one is gonna be impressed with the shfiting on said drive train after say 3000 miles. Or alternatively you intend to keep your cassette throun many chains, and you can for probably 10 chains if you wear to 100.2% Yep that’s just 0.2% of wear. equates to about 5mm of ’stretch’. Over this and you start to shag the cassette. If you are on Ultegra or better then the latter approach is cost effective and always a crisp change to boot.

He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history.Tester Neil writes: ”Wolf Tooth’s WT-1 Chain Lube may be the first I’ve tried that really delivers everything I want from it – and quite a bit more besides. It’s a blue-green liquid that’s thick enough to apply sparingly, one link at a time. There’s no need to remove old lube first, but I started with a freshly-degreased drivetrain anyway, because I wanted to see exactly what this does differently.“That’s extraordinary and what’s even better is that my chain still hasn’t started squeaking yet. It runs nice and clean too, the rollers are shiny and the outside plates just have a dry crust of grime which should clean off nice and easy. I’ve not used it in truly foul weather, but it hasn’t been all sunshine and warm breezes either. In the interest of scientific enquiry I should probably run the chain dry but after nearly 600 miles I’ve got itchy squirting fingers…

Decathlon 03 Bike Chain Oil is a cheaper option than many lubes out there. It’s easily applied and will keep your chain and derailleur running smoothly. For the price of £2.99 there isn’t really a bad thing to say about this lubricant. You probably won’t go through it twice as fast as anything twice the price, even with weekly applications (more so during wet/winter weather), making it an excellent choice. I’ve now switched over to using DryFluid which is a special slide lubricant that although expensive lasts really well and is easy to apply and stays nice and clean. The best bike chain lubes keep your chain running smoothly, keep working even when it’s wet and don’t pick up crud. But can you get one bike chain lube that does it all or should you switch between wet and dry chain lubes according to the weather? And with a bewildering choice of chain lubes in any decent bike shop, which should you buy? Here are the best bike chain lubes we’ve found after tens of thousands of miles of all-weather riding.

Dry lube comes out of the bottle wet, commonly a fast-flowing liquid but once it dries it leaves a wax film on the chain. It’s this wax that provides the necessary lubrication, the liquid is simply the carrier for the wax.

taberesc: Tried Rock ’n’ Roll Gold. Seems to require application before every ride. Even at that, the chain sqeak was unbareable. Have gone back to wet lube. Finish Line Wet is a tried and trusted fave.Which lube you choose comes down to the riding conditions and your maintenance habits. A dry lube doesn’t attract dirt and for that reason it’s a better lube for dry conditions, but the downside is that it often does not last as long as wet lube. So if you’re doing short rides in sunny weather on dry roads, a dry lube is a good pick. It has the benefit of keeping your drivetrain nice and clean too, you just have to remember to reapply it more frequently.

I really rate Prolink ProGold if you just want a liquid lube that’s clean and good in every condition. However, I’ve recently been using the Muc Off ceramic dry as I had about a bazillion samples to use up and I have to say I’d really forgotten how good it is both on and off road at this time of year.Silca’s Synergetic Drip Lube lasts for ages, is very clean, and will save you loads of money in drivetrain components. Yes, its RRP is £32 a bottle. But that will last you a year and save you many times that amount replacing prematurely-worn components.

peted76: I’ve recently been converted from Rock and Roll Gold dry lube (which I’ve used for ages and have thought was the best) to Fenwicks Stealth lube.. for a wet lube, I’m amazed at just how clean and well my chain runs using it.

Chris Hayes: I switched to waxing a few months ago after years of dirty, grunge-caked drive-trains. I’m using Silca’s super secret and will try molten wax next. I’ll never go back. Don’t care about the marginal gains, for me it’s about a clean drive train. The silence is a bonus. My plan was to see how far I could ride before chain noise became noticeable, but when I got to 200 miles it dawned on me that I was never going to get a grinding chain, because Smoove doesn’t work like that. While most wax lubes work by flaking off, taking the dirt with them, Smoove creates this long-lasting coating which doesn’t fall off (hence the long-lasting lubrication) but does hang on more to the dirt. Whether this is an issue for you depends on how often you like to clean your chain, but if you’re a frequent cleaner, then Smoove works very well in between cleans. Smoove is a thin, white liquid that needs applying to the rollers-only as you turn the chain to get a light, even coverage. Then you leave it overnight to dry (Smoove recommends this, though it says an hour is enough) and the next day, the chain appears completely dry. Only by touching it can you detect the presence of the lube, in a faint stickiness.I waxed 6 new chains and then just rewax when required (so far I’ve only needed to do the indoor trainer bike’s chain). Should I actually be cleaning off an outdoor chain before rewaxing?

maviczap replied to r.glancy: Another Smoove user here, best lube I’ve used so far. I just run my chain through a Fenwick’s chain cleaning sponges, with a bit of their foam cassette cleaner, which is another great product. So I might give their Stealth lube a go once the Smoove runs out.So I switched to ’dry’ wax. Tried Finish Line which smelled nice and was spotless but if even a drop of rain fell it had to be reapplied. Am currently on Morgan Blue. The only downside is that in inclement weather it needs to be topped up every 2 days. But it cleans easily, no gunky black mess and it costs me 14 Euro for a 500 ml bottle.

bikespud: I cant stand the the grinding paste effect of wet lube once it’s got dirty. The degreasing then apply more sticky stuff makes no sense to me. I am a wax fan as there is less cleaning for sure. A big fan of White Lightning for years, but it’s expensive and hard to find now. Tried Squirt and loved how clean it was. Tried Smoove – It lasts longer but I don’t like the build up of black gunk between the chain rings. Testing Squirt Low Temp now, it’s thinner again, but supposed to last longer in cold weather. Will see what this winter brings… Come summer it’s probably back to Squirt again but no way anything oily. Buying degreaser just seems like a big con when wax is easy to clean off.Tester Big Dave writes: “We tried to test out AbsoluteBlack’s watt-saving claims using our own slightly less scientific setup of a Tacx Neo 2 indoor trainer and a Rotor 2InPower crank-based power meter, ranking it against a few other lubes. And do you know what? It really does seem to reduce drivetrain friction. Graphenlube’s tenacity is pretty impressive too. I found that I needed to re-apply the lube after about 400km of mixed weather riding, which is on a par with the better wet lubes I’ve used, and miles ahead of any wax-based lube that I’ve tried.
