ProGold Xtreme Chain Lubricant 4oz, Yellow, One Size

Product Information

White Lightning Epic Ride lube is the prototypical hybrid lube, and was even awarded a patent back in 1999. I've now switched over to using DryFluid which is a special slide lubricant that although expensive lasts really well and is easy to apply and stays nice and clean.

A thin-bodied lubricant which utilizes metal friction reducer technology for smooth shifting and a quiet drive train. Whether this is an issue for you depends on how often you like to clean your chain, but if you're a frequent cleaner, then Smoove works very well in between cleans. Graphenlube does appear to reduce friction, and it's certainly pretty tenacious in real-world conditions. Do this before each ride (or as often as you can) and you will be able to achieve the most miles that your chain is capable of.thoroughly clean the chain, (b) dry the chain with a soft cloth, and (c) apply a drop of ProLink to each link, both the top and the bottom of the chain. A bicycle brings you closer to experiences, they enrich a locality, they are spiritual partners on your journey through life.

After testing this on various items, my opinion is that this concentration depends on what you are cleaning. Xtreme can also be used in dry road racing conditions as well, but since it is more expensive than ProLink, and offering nominal advantage in dry conditions, I recommend ProLink for all dry conditions and Xtreme in hard-use/wet environments. I cleaned my chain, cassette and rings with Mineral spirits first then also with Simple green, spotless drive chain to begin. Wax doesn't seem to last as long in Winter as I'd like, but I've gotten used to wiping off and re-waxing my chain after rides (not before) and leaving it to dry overnight.
