This seems to work very well for my needs. Very much has reduced wear and the reduced the need for chain tightening. Would buy again.

This is the best bike lube I have ever used. I used to use “white lightning” but I found it not any better than any general purpose oil. I went with generic silicone based lubes for the last 2 years. It worked, made the chain and drivetrain slippery. THEN I read an article on Slowtwitch about polimer based lubes, I figured I would give it a shot. I took the whole drive train apart, cleaned and degreased it 100%. I put the lube on as instructed and WOW. The drivetrain is awesome. QUIET, better shifts and a smother feel. Best of all it stays cleaner. If you don’t ride in dirt the chain stays clean. I have been running it on 4 bikes now (2 are mine and 2 are my wives) Great stuff, I will be a longtime user of this stuff.

Always searching for the holy grail lube; lasts a long time, doesn’t collect dust, lubricates well. In the southwest prolonged drought, dust is ever present. I’ve used Finish Line dry lube for years and it works well but the applicator tip tends to plug up and it’s a pain. This lube seems to work as well or better and applicable has been easy so far. I did buy a needle applicator since the bottle itself has a large opening that it’s hard to get a small drop out of. Super happy with this lube for mtb and road bike.

In the last 10 years, I have ridden my bicycles over 60,000 miles. I have gone through many chains and tried several different lubricants for those chains. I should point out, that every one of the chain oils and waxes have worked effectively to lubricate my chains. Although wax keeps you chain cleaner because it does not attract dirt, wax build up was the reason I choose to go with an oil. Silicone lubricant does not hold up in my opinion. The same with graphite.
If, like me, you choose oil, it really comes down to viscosity. Dumonde Tech Lite has been my choice for a couple years now.
It may not be your choice, there are a plethora of options out there. And like I said earlier, they all work.

I tried the dry wax chain lube that is so often featured in ads and influencer videos. The result was a rough, noisy chain, even after multiple applications. For my new bike, I went with Dumonde Tech Lite Bicycle Chain Lube instead. It is a high quality chain lubricant that applies easily, lubricates well, and eliminates all of the hassles of these trendy wax dry lubes that don’t work.

Living in Northern California, one rarely has to worry about rain, especially during the past four years. If you are looking for a chain lube for fairly dry conditions–drought or no–Dumonde Lite is the best. Period. At the risk of looking a bit OCD, here is my foolproof application technique:
[1] Deep clean your chain. You need to not only remove all the grime, you need to strip off all previous lube. This is SOP any time you change lube.
[2] Apply one drop Dumonde Lite per pin.
[3] Once all the pins are lubed, run the chain forward for 1-2 minutes. This will be messy; use a big Amazon box to protect the ground.
[4] Using a clean shop towel, run the chain backward and remove 99% of the lube.
[5] Re-apply lube, repeating steps 2 & 3. I do not follow the rinse-repeat instruction on shampoo, but here it makes a huge difference.
[6] Using a clean shop towel, run the chain backward and remove “almost all” of the lube. Using the ‘finger’ test, you want to leave a thin trace of lube.
The above will give you a rock-solid base that will last 300+ miles of riding in dry conditions. As other reviewers observe, the chain will be quieter than your tires. When you hear the chain getting loud, it is time to re-apply. Here it gets easier:
[A] Using a clean shop towel, runt he chain backward and remove 99% of the lube and grime.
[B] Apply one drop Dumonde Lite per pin.
[C] Once all the pins are lubed, run the chain forward for 1-2 minutes. This will be messy; use a big Amazon box to protect the ground.
[D] Using a clean shop towel, run the chain backward and remove “almost all” of the lube. Using the ‘finger’ test, you want to leave a thin trace of lube.
Dumonde Lite not only makes for better rides, it makes for longer chain life. Two thumbs way up.
