Boeshield T-9 Waterproof Lubricant

Great product and easy to apply. My ritual is to clean my chain using a product like White Lightning, let it flash off and then apply this to each pin. Takes about 15 minutes. I allow it to 'dry' for several hours.Net result? It provides great lubrication for 100-200 miles and doesn't pick up a lot of dirt. On a basic run of the mill chain I was getting around 1.5-2K miles before chain replacement. When I upgraded to a basic SRAM Rival system I was getting almost 4K miles. I'm now on a SRAM Red system and am still on my first chain at 600 miles - so hopefully I have a ways to go. Note I replace my chains when they don't pass the most conservative wear marker on my chain gauge so for those that let their chain wear all the way down they may get significantly more miles than I do.Have no intention of using any other lubricant on my chain.

This is my favorite chain lube. I tried 2-3 different brands but didn't like them like this one. It lasts long and keeps chain silent. I use it in mostly dry conditions and always reapply if I get my chain wet. Performs well even after couple hundred miles.It is not the lube that you can put just before riding though. It will attract dirt and will become filthy. You need to follow the instructions to get top performing and silent chain. Apply at least two hours before wiping excess and only then ride your bike. The reason is that this lube needs to dry first and that leaves thin dry coating that protects chain. I usually apply in the evening and clean next morning. I also apply lube to each link one by one. This way it is much easier to clean, more economical and helps in avoiding drips.And that brings me to a drawback of the new bottle. In the past nozzle was thin and long and separate from the cap. New nozzle is the top part of the cap. Applying to each chain link became harder job with the new nozzle. It is still possible but it's less precise. Also requires to clean the cap after use before closing it if you want to avoid oil on your fingers.

Nice and clean chain lube. Doesn't cake up with goo, easy to clean, and great all around multi season. I have 4 or 5 chain lubes for various conditions but this is my fave and daily go to for my fleet.

Remarkably versatile lubricant. Start with a clean chain and apply one drop per link for best results. This lube replaced easy ride lube which is good too but offers no rust protection. Also left gummy jockey wheels. Boeshield t9 can be used around the shop or bike on other pivot points .. I use it on my axes and knives and more. For that reason it gets 5 * The first application was so so and only lasted 75 miles before I needed to reapply, however the second app is over 100 miles and still going smoothly. The chain does not pick up any noticeable dirt along the way. From the looks of it I can probably go 500 miles or more before a wet cleaning. I currently am relubing when it gets noisy back there . No complaints and it is waterproof too. Sometimes it feels almost to slippery.But I will take that any time.EDIT 6/9/14OK so after close to 400 miles of use I decided to clean my chain with my Park Tool chain cleaner. While inspecting the magnet it was loaded with metal particles. This is something I have not noticed before. Also during rides you can hear and feel the metal to metal abrasion. There was also a distinct twangy sound whenever I would put torque on the cranks. Maybe I didn't notice at first because there was left over lube from previous applications. I dont know but it was enough for me to switch back to White Lightning Easy lube and Epic Ride. Epic is good for rust prevention and easy lube really shifts smooth. I am knocking off ONE STAR because of the metal wear. I was expecting better wear abrasion especially at the expensive price.And after putting another 300 miles and cleaning my chain with my scrubber there were zero particles on the magnet. Easy lube is less expensive and very good for my uses which are pavement and dirt trails..I ride almost every day... Your mileage may vary....
