Tru-TensionBananaSlip Tungsten All Weather Lube | Road, Mountain & Race Bike Lubricant | Bicycle Tools & Accessories | 50ml

I previously used muc off wet lube.. switched to finish line wet lube. This product is miles better. I considered chain waxing however waxing doesn't work well in wet conditions and this product does.I live in a really rainy city, thus my chain and drivetrain picks up a lot of dirt off the road. It's takes a lot of abuse.Pros- No build up of black paste from road dirt.- Works well in wet conditions.- Easy to apply.- Dries quickly.Cons- really needs a good shake to mix up the contents. Mine even required a stir due to a build up at the top of the bottle.- Could be due to the cold but due to the build up mentioned above even after mixing and shaking for 10-15 mins when first applying gushed out due to the buildup requiring cleanup. However once I sorted this the product works incredibly well. I wouldn't avoid due to this. Maybe I should try warming this.- Would love further instructions on the website rather than "apply to all areas of chain". I understand covering the links is key however it's suggested you degrease the chain before, which I did.. so I'm not sure if I should be coating the outside of the chain too.

Probably the best lube I have used. After a week of daily use, the chain has been silent, shifting nicely, and very clean at the end of the week. Other lubes would have picked up a lot of grime by now. Knocking off a star because it is expensive and provides poor value compared to other brands. However, if it means the drivetrain lasts longer, I guess it evens out. I read an independent review (Zero Friction Cycling - Google it), and this was one of the best lubes tested for low wear. Fingers crossed.One-year update:Having used this lube for over a year, I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations. The chain is always quiet, with smooth shifting and no sticky black residue on the drivetrain. It's very easy to clean off. The lube lasts about a week or two, or around 100 miles, before I feel the need to clean and reapply. The chain on my mid-drive e-bike lasted 3000 miles before needing replacement. It feels like there is minimal friction between the chain and cassette. I love it. Don't waste your money on Muc-Off. This is the real deal.

I've used a few different wet and dry lubes on chains over the years but there's never really been one lube that works in both wet and dry conditions until recently. I bought this based on independent testing and it does work. Its easy enough to apply but the chain and drive chain do need some cleaning up once it's dried for the specified time. Overall it's very cost efficient.

Brilliant wax lube for topping up between hot waxes.

Bottle had been opened and was only half full

have since a few years been looking out for a cleaner lube for road and commuter use. means in practice going for wax-based rather than oil-based. a number of these unfortunately do not work as well as synthetic oil when temps go down towards freezing, one example being squirt low-temp giving immense friction in winter conditions.the banana slip all weather tungsten lube here keep chain very smooth running even in the really cold, typically over 200 km per application in mixed weather. also it is reasonably clean. for example no problems handling chain with fingers when taking off the rear wheel.one good thing about wax-based lube is cleaning; just boil the chain in water no additives. no need for white spirit or other solubles hard to dispose of in an environmentally acceptable way. you should however get rid of the factory lube to start with. i do that with a dishwasher tablet in boiling water.this tungsten variety of all banana slip all weather lube is more expensive than the similar product without tungsten disulfide in it, and i cant really detect much difference in everyday performance, they are both excellent. the tungsten variety leaves a black coating on the cogs, might be beneficial for wear. maybe. however not spreading tungsten in nature is supposedly a good thing, not to mention a number of other lubes containing teflon. ouch for those.

This has become my go-to lube for keeping my bike chain and gears running smoothly. It applies cleanly and does not leave too much residue. I find it lasts through multiple rides, even in mixed conditions with some rain or dirt. It keeps everything quiet and moving well without needing constant reapplication. I have tried a few other brands but I always seem to come back to this one for its balance of performance, ease of use, and durability. A great choice for regular bike maintenance.

UPDATE: Four applications later and my chain is dry squeaking after only 40 dry kilometres. I can only assume I have a bottle from a duff batch, because this stuff is absolutely useless.Thoroughly cleaned (and re cleaned) whole drive chain and applied as per instructions, link by link. I thought it was very thin and the applicator delivered a lot of lube, a lot of it dripped on the floor, I reckon I used about a fifth of the bottle. Took the bike out the next day and my chain was far noisier than when I use my go-to lube, Fenwicks. Will see about longevity and cleanliness, but I like a quiet drivechain.
