$6.00 | | Purchased At: | BikeWorks | | Strengths: | Easy to use, works well. | | Weaknesses: | Need to apply - very often. | | Bike Setup: | 8-speed drivetrain | | Bottom Line: | It seems to work very well, doesn't make a mess and even if there's a little on there, can be washed of, usually even without degreaser.
Follow the directions to the T. I first applied it to a factory lubricated chain and it turned into a mess. Then after I degreased the factory lube from the chain i kept putting it on and then letting it dry, made a big mess as well. My old drivetrain lasted on this about 400 miles.
Now with a complete new drivetrain I got a new start:
First degrease the factory lube.
Second, Apply lube to chain, work it in and then immediatelly wipe it of.
Third, Let dry for at least 20 minutes.
I usually put it on after cleaning (coming back from a ride), and then again before loading the bike into the car. By the time I arrive at the trail its nice and dry. On long paved trail trips, I usually apply some at the half way point before the return (around 30 miles or so).
This product is no good in very wet and muddy conditions. On long trips, make sure you got a bottle with you. I'm looking for something better but every LBS recommends this stuff right here. 4/5 for the extremely low mileage on my original drivetrain. Let's see what i get with this new set.

I started with a fully clean chain and diligently followed the directions. (Come on, isn't it reasonable to think that part of all this is to allow an out so that when it does not perform as hyped, why, it just must be my own darn fault.)
A big problem was that after 50 to 60 miles it needed reapplication big time. For me, this is half way through a ride. Seemed to be an expensive bother given that it did keep things cleaner, but only by a small bit.
Bottom line: save your money, unless you want to believe the reviews claiming that it is the best thing since the derailleur. Then go ahead and knock yourself out. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$5.00 | | Purchased At: | Speedgoat | | Strengths: | Applies easily. Eliminates the need for a thorough cleaning. | | Weaknesses: | Doesn't last too long. Build up gunk. | | Similar Products Used: | No wax-based products used before. Several oil-based lubes used before. | | Bike Setup: | Rohloff SLT-99 chain, Ultegra cassette, Sram XO rear mech, Holzfeller cranks | | Bottom Line: | I started using this lube on a virgin drivetrain. The Rohloff chain didn't come with any lube pre-applied. I followed the instructions on the label, applied two coats over two nights.
It lasted all spring and summer. I didn't reapply it until my chain whined at me, which was every 100-200km or so. In autumn and winter, with the colder and wetter weather, I had to apply before (or after) every ride.
Being generous with the lube created a black gunk, particularly on the jockey wheels on the derailleur. It was simply waxy buildup. It toweled off easily enough. But, compared to *any* oil-based lube, this stuff is clean.
I have since changed to oil of Rohloff, and I miss the wax. I get grease stains every where. I handle my old chains and cassettes that I used the White Lightening wax, and the stains it leaves behind are minimal. I can wipe the stains off with a rag. I can still see a lot of silver on my old cassettes and chains. I've only used the oil of Rohloff a few months, and my entire drivetrain is black. Three pairs of trousers now have black bite marks on the from my oily chainrings. Never, ever had such problems with the wax.
This stuff is great for dry weather, and even the occasional rain shower. It's clean. It lubes well. If you're a commuter, I'd highly recommend it because you'll ruin less pants. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

now for the bad. this stuff is messy. they don't call it white lightning for nothing. it turns whatever it touches white, until it sinks into your filthy chain and then turns black and splatters everywhere as you turn your chain backwards to get it into the links. it doesn't clean per se, as just bring out the crap you have clogging your chain to the surface where it coats your sprockets and whatnot, leaving you to grumble and take it off with a paper towel.
on the road it repels dust, repels water, and still seems to lubricate pretty well after a slog in nasty red clay.
my bike ain't pretty, and i appreciate this weather resistant product, although i've had to reapply it after a bad day on the trail and only wound up making a huge mess... it's stil okay in my eyes since it's not a wet lube that sucks up dirt and mud like a sponge...
if you have an immaculate mtb and worry about every chatter and squeak, don't bother. if you have a mud pig or a mountain goat try it. at the worst you'll just have to clean it off and use a wet lube instead... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$6.00 | | Purchased At: | MEC | | Strengths: | Does set up as advertised, cleans off really well too, does not get gunky like oils | | Weaknesses: | You have to use tonnes of the stuff if you are and avid cyclist, one application lasts about one good ride. Would prefer it to be in a spray bottle instead of a squeeze one. I also wish it came in bigger bottles since I use so much. | | Similar Products Used: | Finish Line Krytec, Finish Line Dry Lube with Teflon, Finish Line X-country | | Bike Setup: | 04'Epic | | Bottom Line: | There are a few trade offs with this product. First off you have use a lot of it, I found it neccessary to lube the chain after every ride and even more so if you have to clean the chain frequently.
Secondly, the reason I use it a lot is due to the fact it does not last very long, one application for one ride.
You can't just buy one bottle! I usually buy 2-4 bottles at a time.
I will probably continue to use it because the clean up is so easy with this stuff and it has not affected my chain in any serious way, chains after all are meant to be used and then eventually replaced.
I hope the future brings us a better dry lube that lasts longer and is way slicker yet is still easy to clean. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$6.00 | | Purchased At: | Out N About Gear | | Strengths: | Keeps chain clean and lubricated. No oily mess as it is wax based; preventing black streaks when rubbing/ handling chain. | | Weaknesses: | Can not withstand prolonged exposure to water but does fair OK in moderately wet conditions. | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano Slippery Spitt & Tri-Flow Superior Lubricant with Teflon | | Bike Setup: | Surly 1x1 | | Bottom Line: | First, this product has directions as to how to use it. If these directions are not followed, it will not work properly. You have to completely degrease your chain, even brand new ones, before you ever apply White Lightning. If you do not, you will have a huge mess on your chain and throughout your drive train. Secondly, this is a wax based lubricant and can not sustain heavy use through water. If you ride in these conditions frequently, use and oil based lubricant. White Lightning can, however, work flawlessly in the occasional rain shower you may get caught in or the sporadic puddle here and there on the trail. After riding in such conditions you will most certainly have to wipe down your chain and reapply which you should be doing with an oil lubricant as well.
This lubricant is an excellent product once set up, as it’s’ instructions specify. It keeps chains well lubricated and resists dirt and dust buildup from trail and road riding. Every 4-6 rides I simply wipe the chain down and reapply. It keeps everything smooth and quiet, but when applying, use sparingly as too much will lead to a black buildup on your entire drive train. I highly recommend this product if you have the patience to set it up correctly and do not ride in swampy conditions.
*This product does NOT stain anything it comes into contact with but does leave a waxy film that can be cleaned off with Simple Green or any other degreaser for that matter.*

For pete's sake, every bottle I've had over the years gets clogged -- even while applying it -- and I have to enlarge the opening in the bottle to use it. I wish they'd fix that. | | Similar Products Used: | Pedro's Ice Wax (crap), Finish Line Krytech, Boeing, TriFlow, Purple Extreme, various others | | Bike Setup: | It's a toothy linky thing. | | Bottom Line: | I like this lube. It has drawbacks, sure, but it has a lot of advantages also. I've been using it for 8 or 9 years on my road bike, and used an 8oz bottle on the trails last year -- it's been my primary lube that I keep returning to after trying others.
Apply it sparingly and let the lube film the chain just like a thinner non-wax lube would -- let it do its job without extra help from you. Lube the roller, not the side plates. If you use it properly, you won't have build-up or sludgy shifting.
I could get about 60 miles from it on the road, and about half that on the trail.....better than any other wax lube. It will last a short time in light rain, but it's not a wet-weather lube by any means. I have to disagree with the comments below about poor cold-temp performance. What he says seems to contradict hiimself anyway. I've used it in temps from 18° to 104° and it does fine in all of it -- no flaking in cold temps.
Don't buy it if you want to forget that your chain needs attention sometimes. Do buy it if you want a good lube that has limitations as well as strong advantages. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Overall friction reduction is mediocre
Poor lubrication in cold weather | | Similar Products Used: | Dumonde Tech, Prolink, Finish Line, Finish Line Cross Country, Tri-Flow | | Bike Setup: | Trek XO 1 cyclocross bike | | Bottom Line: | When first got back into cycling about eight years ago, this was the first lube I tried (recommended by shop). I used it for a few months, then got something better.
White Lightning is a typical wax lube. It repels water and keeps the chain clean initially. In warm weather, the wax stay fairly soft, lubricating effectively. In cooler weather (below 60 F) the wax tends to harden, reducing the lubes effectiveness. In cooler conditions, build-up is also a major problem. If you use this product, you'll have to thoroughly clean your chain at least every other month.
White Lightning isn't an awful product, but it isn't the best choice for lube. For most casual riders, a dry lube like Prolink is much better choice. While it doesn't offer the longevity of White Lightning, it's much cleaner and lubes more effectively. For off-road mountain bikers, a heavier lube like Finish Line Cross Country is a better choice. It is very greasy, but offers the same longevity with far better lubrications (besides, when you're riding off-road, who cares about a dirty chain?). Aside from longevity, White Lighning offers few benefits. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

If you ride in dry dusty conditions than this lubricant will work great since it does not attract dirt. it is not the best wax based lubricant out there but it's cheap and easy to find. if you ride through puddles, rivers, in rain, and in mud than consider a oil based lube as it will last longer and offer more protection from moisture.
in the summer i lube my chain at least a day before the ride and leave the chain alone until i start hearing chain noise (usually 4 rides or so). i don't clean, scrub, or do anything to the chain at all because it stays clean. if you apply this lube to often it will begin to deposit itself on the chain as a black residue. if that happens i just don't put anymore on until the wax is gone and the chain starts making noise again. in the winter i usually switch to a oil based lube because i would have to apply gallons of this stuff to keep my chain from rusting.
this lubricant is great in the summer, it does not attract all that dirt, it does not leave black marks on you leg, and it allows me to do very little maintenance on my chain.
just don't put it on cables, don't use it by the gallon, don't apply it 3 times a day thinking it will keep your chain cleaner or make it last longer(you will just have to remove it later with wd40), and don't bash a good product because you don't know how to use it! it's dissolved wax, not a miracle worker! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

That was over 100 miles ago (all single track) and the chain still seems to be well lubricated. What you really want to do is lubricate the chain where it needs it, on the links themselves.
