Duration Product Used:
More than 3 years
Price Paid:
$7.00
Purchased At:
Local M/C shop
Strengths:
Increased chain durability coupled with less mess.
Weaknesses:
Wife hates the smell. (only lasts a day or so)
Bike Setup:
Klein Mantra with XT throughout.
Bottom Line:
This is a great product, having used it for years on both my Triumph Daytona and the mountain bike. I do think that it is slightly thick to get full penetration. However I now take the chain off the bike and clean by shaking it in a jar with mineral spirits, comes up like new. Then in a separate jar I have sprayed a quantity of chain wax and added a little bit of mineral spirits to get total penetration, after a little soak,remove, wipe off excess with a rag and leave outside to dry. It all sounds like a big pain in the arse but I now have over 3K miles on the one chain with little evidence of wear. Bottom line is if you want you chain to shift smoothly, run quietly and look new then give the above method a go.

Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$7.49
Purchased At:
Local Motorcycle Shop
Strengths:
It works, lasts, is clean. Ride it thru a rainstorm, wipe the chain off, and the chain still runs quiet.
Weaknesses:
Smells a bit.
Similar Products Used:
All of the usual lubes.
Bike Setup:
Two single-speeds with 1/8" BMX chains, and a ShimanoXT 9-speed.
Bottom Line:
$7.50 for a 13.5 oz. spray can and each application will last at least 200+ miles thru rain and whatever. Don't tell your LBS about it, or they will start selling it for $5.00 for a 2oz. container.

Favorite Trail:

Duration Product Used:
More than 3 years
Price Paid:
$3.00
Purchased At:
local shop
Strengths:
easy application (spray), no mess, no dripping. Penetration is excellent and keeps the chain well lubricated for a good 300-400 miles. 1 can can last you for months.
Weaknesses:
none
Similar Products Used:
belray chain lube, honda chain lube, etc.
Bike Setup:
hardrock pro-disc
Bottom Line:
I have used this chain wax in all my motorcycles (CBR 1000-RR, GSXR-600 and RC-51) for roadracing and street riding, and have never changed brand, all other chain lubes are messy. I decided to try this on my MTB and works like a charm. Just dont don't spray to much and try to do it when the chain is warm for better penetration.

Does not fling off, lasts a long time, & saves your chain.

Smells funky after its applied.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Gary Fisher w/XTR & 'Zokes.
Bottom Line:
This is some great stuff. I only been biking for 2 months but I have used this on my KTM 360's chains for 5 years. I'm getting better than 1000 miles per chain and this is riding a 50+ HP dirt bike through mud, over rocks, and aroung trees. In other words I'm giving the chains hell and they come back asking for more.
