Duration Product Used:

Purchased At:
JensenUSA
Strengths:
Easy to put lube on without wasting it. Prolink itself is a great lube that cuts down wear and allows everything to stay pretty clean. I use it on my road and mountain bike and my kids bikes. I even use it on the electric hair clippers. My last road bike got 36,000km from its first cluster and chain using just Prolink - I have only ever got about 5,000km from a chain when using other brands of lube.
Weaknesses:
None
Similar Products Used:
Lubes - White Lightening, Rock and Roll and Pedros Synlube. However I have never used something to apply the lube before and only used it straight from the bottle
Bike Setup:
2006 Giant Trance with 10,000km on the clock and 1992 Repco Elite RX100 roadbike with 60,000km on the clock (I really want a new road bike but with prolink it just won't wear out to allow me to justify one).
Bottom Line:
I have used Prolink for years on my Road bike and Mountain Bike. It is so much better than anything else I have tried however Rock and Roll would be my second choice. However something broke on the Moutain bike and the local bike shop said it was not replacable. Doing a Google search I found it at JensenUSA and decided to try buying from overseas rather than chucking an OK bike just for one part. Pity the local bike shops as I was so happy with JensenUSA I will probably use them more often.
While creating the order I did a bit of browsing and saw the luber and the large bottle (almost one litre) of lube so ordered both at the same time and I am really glad I did. Now with a lot of lube and the luber to use it without wasting any I hope to not run out for a very long time.

Purchased At:
direct from mfr.
Strengths:
The luber is super. You can pinpoint the product anywhere with no overflow.
Weaknesses:
The lube itself worked fine until it got real humid and while it protected chain internals, the side plates rusted after a few days. Also, the luber is a bear to refill from the bottle. You generally end up spilling about 25%.
Similar Products Used:
Tri-Flow, White Lightning, BoeShield
Bike Setup:
Mongoose Massif
Bottom Line:
Product works great 10 out of 12 months in my climate. If it doesn't get too wet, it really keeps chain lubed AND clean. The luber is a brilliant idea.
