Finish Line Ceramic Wet Bicycle Chain Lube – Advanced Racing Lubricant with Ceramic Coating, Biodegradable and Waterproof Formula for Road, Track, Cyclocross, Mountain Bikes, Drip Squeeze Bottle 2 oz

Great lubricant on the chain and easily rinses clean after rides without mess. Lasts well and doesn't seem to fling any gunk on you when you get a good speed going like many chain lubes tend to do, and then stain where they land on fabric. Works great wet or dry conditions and only caveat is dirt sticks on sandy/dusty dry dirt trails where dirt clouds linger behind you. Be sure to rinse after each ride and it is fine.

In south Louisiana, near the Gulf Coast, the humidity rarely drops below 80%, it rains at least weekly and sometimes daily. My bike is in a leaky shed and not a garage. Rust is a persistent problem. I have tried dry, Teflon, and wax chain lubes. These are probably great for New Mexico and Arizona, but not for south Louisiana. After a couple of years of experimenting with different recommendations, I finally tried Finish Line Ceramic Wet Bicycle Chain Lubricant. I started with a new chain, cassette, and this lubricant. When used as directed, the results immediately astonished me: * It produced the quietest chain I ever had. I had not realized how noisy it was until the noise was gone. * It repels water better than anything I ever used, and therefore prevents rust longer between applications. * It reduced the drivetrain resistance so much that I could immediately go one gear higher on the same roads that I have been traveling for years. * The longer I have used it, the longer I can go between applications. Even experimenting on an old rusty chain, the difference is immediately noticeable. I have found the ideal lubricant for my environment and am not going to be switching any time soon! Update on 7/21/2013 The first bottle I ever ordered was in June 16, 2012 and the second on December 22, 2012. My first bottle is about used up, so I am about to order another bottle as a backup. This is still the most effective chain lubricant I have ever used and I have no compelling reason to switch. I recently was not able to ride for about 2 months straight. When I got back on my bike, I expected the chain to be stiff with at least some rust, as with other lubricants I had used before. However, the shifting and pedaling was just as quiet and smooth as the day I had last cleaned and applied fresh lubricant.

After using nearly all of a 4 ounce bottle of this stuff, I'm left unimpressed. My drivetrain efficiency, smoothness, quietness, longevity and overall operation hasn't improved by switching to the 'Ceramic' formula. This stuff reminds me a bit of Lance Armstrong: a great all-rounder but it has some dirt. I was previously using the Finish Line 'Wet' formula, and it performed marvelously with every road/weather condition I could throw at it. The 'Wet' is a great all-rounder without the issues, more like Greg LeMond. However, I'm also relatively meticulous when it comes to drivetrain maintenance. Depending on the conditions -- susceptible to indoor training sessions -- I thoroughly clean my drivetrain components after every 60 to 120 miles. That said, the formulation of the 'Ceramic' lube has had negligible if any positive impact. I suppose if you're a maintenance nut like I am, then it really doesn't matter what formula or brand of lube you use; and you can K.I.S.S (keep it [your lube] simple stupid). I've docked a star for a couple reasons. Firstly, and despite the marketing copy which informs me that the visible buildup of dark and nasty looking particulates is okay, I can't help but be disconcerted when I see this. Maybe it is, indeed, nothing to worry about concerning the longevity of my components. Maybe the buildup is -- as the copy states -- an visible indication of a protective barrier. But given my strict maintenance rituals, a chain that's almost constantly dirty is a chain that worries me. The 'Wet' formula gets dirty, yes. But it takes a long while for road grime to accumulate upon the 'Wet' stuff; and when it gets bad enough, I clean it and reapply. Secondly, when I received the new bottle of the 'Ceramic' stuff, I had to vigorously shake it for the better part of a half-hour in order to reintroduce the ceramic particles into the liquid carrier. These ceramic particles had settled and combined into a mass at the bottom of the bottle. After almost 1 year of use, there remains at the bottom of the bottle a small amount of ceramic particles. I shake the bottle before every use. If the bottle weren't translucent, I would have never known that so much of the key ingredient had settled into an useless clump. The 'Wet' formula stays mixed. . . always. . . no worrying about consistency. All in all, the 'Ceramic' formula is good. It performs well in all conditions. But its unique properties also make it an unnecessary nuisance. If I could perform a scientific study comparing the 'Ceramic' to the 'Wet' within 100 mile intervals, I would confidently hypothesize that insignificant differences exist between the two regarding protection, lubrication, and mechanical efficiency. If you're like me, and you thoroughly cleanse your drivetrain every 60 to 120 miles in order to keep it in peak operational condition, then the 'Ceramic' formula may simply be unnecessary and rather irritating.

チェーン用オイルはこちらがベストと感じる。 ドライなところが手入れしやすい。

ممتاز للتزييت حتى يستخدم للابواب رائع

J'utilise cette huile pour lubrifier ma chaine de VTT ça la rend super silencieuse, ainsi elle reste lubrifié pour beaucoup plus longtemps. Elle à aussi la particularité de ne pas coller les poussières et après application n'émet pas des projections sur la roue.

Nachdem mir mein anderes Finish Line Kettenöl (das grüne) so langsam ausgegangen ist, habe ich jetzt mal dieses Keramiköl versucht. Die Kette (eine HG95) ist erst 3 Wochen alt, war aber schon ziemlich verdreckt und oberflächlich auch leicht rostig. (Wie gesagt, öl war alle ;)). Daher habe ich mich dazu entschieden, sie erst einmal komplett zu reinigen (mit einem Kettenreinigungsgerät und Kettenreiniger, was ich sonst wirklich nicht oft und eher ungern verwende). Nach dem gründlichen Reinigen und einiger Zeit zum Ablüften dann das Keramiköl aufgetragen (ggf. etwas üppig, aber nach der Reinigung vermutlich nicht das Schlechteste). Das ganze dann über Nacht stehen lassen, und am Morgen danach einmal nochmal abgewischt und los zur Arbeit. Fazit: Die Kette läuft absolut ruhig, und - was mich positiv überrascht hat - das Schalten durch die Gänge geht super geschmeidig, ohne jegliches klackern sofort drin. Viel besser als mit dem "normalen" Kettenöl davor. Über die Langzeitwirkung kann ich jetzt noch nicht viel sagen, aber so lange es bei meiner wöchentlichen Fahrleistung von 100-150km auch jetzt in der nassen Jahreszeit von einem Wochenende zum nächsten durchhält ohne akustisch auffällig zu werden wäre ich schon zufrieden. Ich werde die Rezension dann auch noch mal entsprechend ergänzen. Bisher würde ich sagen: Eindeutig empfehlenswert. Was die Flasche angeht, bzw. deren Deckel: Auch ich habe damit schon schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht (wie gesagt bei dem grünen Synthetiköl, der Deckel ist mir da auch schon mal zerbrochen. Hab mir dann dafür für 2,50€ oder so noch mal einen kleinen Öler besorgt, der sich ähnlich präzise verwenden lässt wie die Originalflasche. Der Deckel von Keramiköl ist bisher aber noch in Ordnung und wird von mir entsprechend vorsichtig verwendet.
