a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: July 10, 2012 Strengths: It's easy to apply and distributes itself well. Weaknesses: This lube slows down shifting. It builds up quickly on the gears, pulley wheels, rear derailleur arm, and on the outside of the inner links. It is NOT long-lasting.

from Atlanta, GA Date Reviewed: October 21, 2011 Strengths: Works. Keeps a quiet drivetrain and doesn't cover the back of your bike in black tar spots. Works in the rain and in the dust. Greatly reduces the buildup of crud on my derailleur pulleys. I use it on my road and mountain bikes. Weaknesses: Expensive when compared to the home brew I was using.

from Bromont Date Reviewed: June 27, 2011 Strengths: Good lubrification, stay as other have said. Weaknesses: Wont come off when cleaning with soap, need real degreseaser. I only use bio dish washer soap to clean my bike, work perfectly. But not with this lube... For that i prefer Pedros Wax, if you give it time to dry it stay just as well as squirt lube, but can be clean a lot easyer! Cleaning easily is important, when you clean you bike after each ride...

from Aspen, Co. Date Reviewed: January 2, 2011 Strengths: Squirt Lube is the most amazing chain lubricant I have ever used. EVERY rider in the Brck Epic seemed to be using this stuff, and these rides are long and very demanding on a drive train. BIG rides through dry, wet, snow, streams, muddy conditions and I never relubed once during a days ride! It should be applied the eve before and allowed to dry, especially in cold conditions, but it NEVER comes off the drive train! Weaknesses: NONE Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $12.00 Purchased At: Mountain Pedaler

from La Quinta, CA Date Reviewed: June 30, 2010 Strengths: Lasts better than any other lube in extreme dust. Non-toxic. A bottle goes a long way. Weaknesses: It takes a while to dry. Not as clean as other lubes. The slimmy application will scare some people. Don't worry, it will dry up leaving a superior protective barrier. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Buhoff Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: You name it! Bike Setup: Turner Flux Prototype, Fox(Push)Front and Rear, Sram XO/ XTR Mix.

from Denver, CO, USA Date Reviewed: March 6, 2010 Strengths: Despite Squirts kinky name, I just love this stuff. I've thrown everything at this stuff. It just works, from a Fruita to the Colorado Trail to Trails in the wet trails of Glyncorrwg (Wales). Its my lube of choice for cyclocross, it keeps the sand from collecting on the chain. Shifting is ultra smooth with Squirt, even when conditions turn muddy. I have every lube out there on my shelf, however I ALWAYS reach for Squirt. I've abandoned White Lightning - never seems to last. Dumonde Tech collects dust and attracts sand like a magnet. If you only want to mess with one lube...pick up a bottle of Squirt lube from you local bike shop. Weaknesses: I wish it came in bigger bottles, since I also use this stuff on my wife's bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Colorado Trail Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $9.00 Purchased At: Green Mountain Sport Similar Products Used: Tri-flow, Park Tool CL-1, White Lightning (Epic, Clean, & Easy), and Dumonde Tech.

from Salinas, Ca Date Reviewed: January 4, 2010 Strengths: Review Finally a lube that just does its thing… so I can just ride my bike. With squirt I quickly wipe the dirty chain with a dry rag, squirt on some Squirt and get back on the bike. No messing around with solvents, no wiping off half the lube I put on, no changing lubes to meet conditions. This year, two bottles of Squirt have gotten me through all sorts of grueling conditions from 100 miles of wind-blown sand on Moab’s White Rim to sloppy rain in Gunnison’s Growler and from 6-days of high-alpine abuse in the Breck Epic to full-throttle XC racing onto the podium at National Championships. Simply put, I tried Squirt and am not looking back. My only gripe is for a larger bottle. ***** ***** Positing I’m tempted to put on eBay: For Sale: Assorted chain lubricants Price: $25 Item: Nearly a dozen assorted bike chain lubes including Pedros, Finish Line, ProGold, White Lightening. All are good lubes in nearly full bottles. I’ve simply switched to Squirt. I now use it in all conditions, so I no longer need this collection. I’ll also throw in a half-gallon of degreaser since I now just wipe-off my chain with a dry rag. Willing to trade for a couple bottles of Squirt. Serious inquiries only, please.

from Nevada Date Reviewed: November 14, 2009 Strengths: None here in the Mojave riding conditions. Weaknesses: Here in the desert, this stuff cakes badly, causing chain suck and a weird tendency for the chain to sometimes ride over the gearing, instead of dropping onto the rings during a shift. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Sample from Interbik Similar Products Used: Many others. Rock and Roll Extreme is my favorite here in the desert. Bike Setup: Shimano SLX drivetrain.

from East Bay Area, Ca Date Reviewed: April 24, 2009 Strengths: Excellent lube. I have only about 20 miles on the chain/lube so far, but my rollers are shiny and clean! I have seen cleanish chains before, but this time it is super clean. It is also still silent. The rollers still feel smooth and everything is moving smooth. Weaknesses: Application is a little different. It is heavy at first so the wax needs some time to soak in...This is hardly a weakness though. There was a little bit of buildup on the chainrings, but it was easily wiped off. This may have been a result of me applying a ton of the lube initially. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Guy at Sea Otter Similar Products Used: Rock 'n Roll & Finish Line dry lube were my previous main chain lubes. Bike Setup: XT drivetrain, Sram PC 991 chain.
