All conditions , all weathers , Its fantastic , like you put a new chain each time . | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$45.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike shop at Gremany | | Strengths: | Smooth operation, very good and quiet when changing gear, easily cleaned with water. | | Weaknesses: | Get's dirty and gummy in dry conditions and believe me in Greece we have many months of sunny and dry weather so it's not good for mountain rides. I always apply only one drop of oil on each link but stills get quickly dirty and gummy. Maybe for city riding works more cleaner. Too expensive for what it offers. | | Similar Products Used: | Weldite Teflon Spray, Wurth Oil Spray, Loctite Chain Lube, Aral Synthetic Oil. | | Bike Setup: | Canyon Big Mountain 1 frame, Marzocchi All mountain 1 fork, Manitou 4 way swinger shock, Chris King headset, Mavic Deetraks Wheelset, Thomson Elite seatpost, Shimano XT groupset, Avid BB7 brakes with full metal jacket cables, | | Bottom Line: | To my dissapointment i was influenced from the positive reviews of previus users and decided to buy blind the 1 Liter Can instead of trying first the smaller bottle, so now i'm stuck with a too much useless oil. If anyone interests, i will glady sell mine. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$50.00 | | Purchased At: | Thomas at Roholff USA | | Strengths: | It stays on and stays clean | | Weaknesses: | Not readily available in the US | | Similar Products Used: | All of those other POS lubes | | Bike Setup: | 03 Specialized S-works Enduro | | Bottom Line: | This is the best chain lube I have ever tried and I have tried alot of them. My friends seem like that are always switching lubes. I have been using Rohloff lube for 5 years! I also bought a 1 liter bottle of the lube so it will last me forever.
This lube is the best period! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$8.00 | | Purchased At: | ciklo-centar | | Strengths: | Everything, it works great in every condition, mud, dust, wet, you name it, rohloff will do it! And the great thing is if you touch the chain with your hand it wont leave any grease stains on your hand! | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | My first, my last, my everything! | | Bike Setup: | Focus Black Rider Ltd. | | Bottom Line: | This is a fantastic chain lube and i would recomended to everybody! You can do with it any thing you want, drive it through mud, dust, wet condition but it will stand still and lube your chain as it was nothing! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 18, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | 4 | | Strengths: | Stays on the chain, even in very nasty conditions it gives the fines lubrication your chain could ever dream of. | | Weaknesses: | I do not know very much about the chemestry of chain oils but if millions was invested the development could probably be pushed farther. | | Similar Products Used: | Pedros, finish line, Delta bike oil, different motor cycle chain oils..... | | Bike Setup: | CUBE team litening, sram 9.0, Magura Louise front, HS silver back, TIME pedals, Raceface Turbine LP, TA Specialites chainrings, ritchey seatpost and stem, sram 9.0 sl hub with x517 rim. | | Bottom Line: | I did not thought that the perfect chain oil was invented. At least it is perfect compared to all the other i have tried out. It simply lasts longer. When it is completly covered in mud, just use water (the liquid stuff in your bottle) to clean it - the oil will not be washed off. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: June 29, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | I've had them (almost) all: Finishline, Boeshield, Pedro's, etc. Ultimately, I preferred the wet type lubes applied on a freshly cleaned chain (drop it in kerosene method!).
If you apply a tiny drop on the interfaces between the plates (left and rigt) and backpedal half a minute, you will get a clean and well lubed chain, with any kind of lube. Rohloff is extra good in that it gives a really smooth feel to the chain and stays there for a long time. I can compare the feeling with putting a brand new chain on the bike. It's so good, I immediately ordered a 1 liter (!!!) LBS sized can to last me for the rest of my life! It's that good. | | Weaknesses: | None, whatsoever. | | Similar Products Used: | Finishline, Boeshield, Shimano, Pedro's in dry, semi-dry and wet variants. | | Bottom Line: | The ultimate lube (for me, after experimenting for about 3 years). | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
