I tried alot of different bike chain lubes, is it better than all other similar products, certainly not, but for my conditions: MTB, dry dusty desert conditions this lubricant works, keeps my chain drive line quiet and has a fair price. I lube before every dirt ride and deep clean my chain after 4 or 5 rides... I deep clean with rag applied carb cleaner spray and a cotton ear swab to go between the links.... Love this product!

Product came quickly and was very well packaged. It works great too.

It's a little pricey, but most bike lube is. I justified reordering this because it cleans my chain so well in addition to re-lubing, that it is kind of a two in one product in my mind. Every 100 miles, I saturate the chain with this stuff, grab the chain with a towel and crank the pedal and watch my chain return to its beautiful silver shine. If needed, I repeat the above steps, and lastly lightly re-lube and use a paper towel to gently remove the excess. I can't emphasize the obvious enough, do not leave your chain dripping in lube, believe in Pro Gold, believe it will work, penetrate your rollers and stay there. Trust me, it will. I take my chain off my bike twice a season now, far less than I used to before using Pro Gold. The lube itself has low viscosity allowing it to easily penetrate the rollers and swiftly clean the chain. Despite it being more of a summer lube given its viscosity, I use it year round and in all conditions with great success. I don't feel like precipitation strips this lube off as much as you may think given its viscosity. When used correctly, this bottle should last you a full year on average. Remember, the most important thing about keeping a clean chain is to saturate, wipe, then lightly re-lube your chain every 100 miles. This prevents buildup from getting out of control and will allow you much longer times between full cleanings (taking off chain, soaking in solvent, brushing, reattaching, then finally re-lubing), which is not my favorite way to spend an evening.

This is my go-to chain lube. It's a thin "dry" type of lube and ill suited to offroad or wet weather. However, if you ride on the road in relatively dry conditions, it's terrific! This stuff keeps your chain nice and silent and picks up minimal dirt. It's not particularly long lasting but will easily go 300 miles before it's gone. It works great on derailleurs, brake pivots and shifters as well.

Have used this product exclusively for years on all my bicycle chains, including the tandem which sees much higher chain loads. Chain life is greatly improved.

Being raised on TriFlow, I decided to try something else. I was researching this stuff and was pleasantly surprised to see the bike mechanic at the bike shop using this stuff. I got my bottle and put a bit on - by the way, the lid is a little stiff; unscrew the top half as you would a bottle of Sriracha. Ran the chain backwards ten turns or so and wiped it off. This stuff works great; I wouldn't say my chain is silent, but it is definitely very quiet. As others have said, it is a low viscosity oil, and as a result the first time I applied it, some went on the rim (danger to brakes!). Be careful.This does also seem to flush out the gunk better than any other oil, too; after applying and wiping, the rag is often dirty even post-degreasing. This stuff is great, but I do apply rather often.I tried this inside a cable housing, too, and it didn't seem to fix my squeaking issue nor make it worse.Update -- 3 months --This stuff is still blowing my mind. I wipe my chain down with a dry rag to remove dirt maybe every three rides or so - and my chain still looks brand new, six months after I've bought the bike. It's amazing. My other bike which I use TriFlow on, has its chain black in a matter of a week, despite wiping. This is amazing! Smells good too! I'd suggest you get the small bottle as an applicator, if you will, and the big bottle subsequently to refill it. (I don't see why they give you the sprayer nozzle - who'd use that?)

This has been my chain lube of choice for the last 15 years, over tens of thousands of miles of commuting and many thousands of miles joy riding, both road and mtb, in all weather conditions.I keep it super simple. No fancy chain cleaning tools, I don’t even use degreasers anymore. I do the following about every hundred miles, or whenever I detect any amount of squeaking, whichever comes first.1.) Grab chain with shop rag, pedal backwards to clean off all surface dirt.2.) Apply a couple drops of ProLink to each chain link, making sure to get in between plates/rollers.3.) Allow lube to penetrate for a few minutes, occasionally spinning the chain backwards.4.) Repeat the first step, wiping off all excess lube until I can grab the chain with my hand and not leave any marks.That’s it. I seem to still get about the same lifespan out of my chains as I did back when I used a more complicated procedure, but I have never been scientific about it so I don’t know if deeper cleaning, waxes, etc make a difference. I value time more so I opt for the easy way!
