Strengths: Keeps the derailleurs smooth, good for cables. Nice dispenser.Weaknesses: Attracts dirtBottom Line: I suppose this stuff does it's job. It comes in a little tube and has a needle on the end so there's not much waste. I always try to wipe away any excess, but it still attracts dirt. Oh well, you can't have it all.

Strengths: Best cable lube I've ever found.Weaknesses: I wouldn't use this as a chain lube.Bottom Line: Don't bother using this stuff as chain lube. There are a ton of other products out for that purpose. Where this product excels is as a cable lube and general purpose lube (derailleurs, etc). I bought an early 80's bike to convert to singlespeed. The brake cables sucked, I thought I would need new housings and cables. However, a couple drops of Slippery Spitt into the housing ends and the brakes feel like new. I'm talking Ultegra new, not 80's crappy brake new. The needle helps a lot too. Right now I'm using this lube to keep some old stir plates alive at work. Everything else I've used just gets gummed up after a month or so and needs to be reapplied.

Strengths: um pretty good for cables. goes good on chains too.cleans off very easily.and it is not affected by temperature amplitudes... one bottle goes a long time.does not have the classic motor oil smell,which is good if you keep your bike in your room like me.Weaknesses: washes off in a wet ride and it tends to dry up quickly.Bottom Line: good stuff. I mean c'mon,it's a freakin' lube for pete's sake!what do you expect from it?the stuff does it's job. period.

Strengths: Inexpensive (relatively). No real problems with it on my road bike.Weaknesses: Lasts 2 rides max, washes off (stream crossings) quickly, ttracts dust.Bottom Line: Probably a fine lube for a road bike, but not an effective lube (attracts dust, washes off easily, etc.) on a mtn. bike.

Strengths: Works well on a fishing reel.Weaknesses: But not so well on a bike.Bottom Line: Not horrible stuff, just not as good as Pro Link. It lubes well when new but only lasts a few hours. Runs pretty clean for a wet lube, but washes off on a wet ride.
BTW, I wasn't kidding - it really is good on a fishing reel.

Strengths:
slippery
sheds mud well
awesome shiftingWeaknesses:
collects dust and dirt (way less than pedros though)Bottom Line: Ultimate shifting with this lube. Shifts way better than wax, but unlike wax, collects dust. Shifts just as good as pedros synlube, but w/ pedros you had to clean ur cogs and chain after every ride. With slippery spitt all you need to do is apply a generous coat and wipe chain dry, and this thing will last for a good week.
