FINISH LINE Teflon Plus Dry Lube 60ml

Product Information

The term is perfectly appropriate not just for engine oil, but chain lube for bikes as well. Continuing this month’s bike maintenance theme in conjunction with Finish Line, the world leader in bicycle lubricants, maintenance and cleaning products, we’re taking a look at the the range of chain lubes on offer. Choosing Your Lube So, alongside a team of other tribologists, using some of the knowledge he’d gained from working at Mobil, Krause went on to found the company Finish Line in 1988, with dry bike chain lube as its very first product. If you’re in extreme wet weather, you’re doing stream crossings, you’re going for a 100K road ride and it’s raining, or you’re really stressing your drivetrain because you’re a pro cyclist, then wet lube starts to be a better choice,” Krause said. You should use a dry, wax-based lube during dry, summer, and spring conditions. They attract less dirt during such conditions, making it easy to ride on gravel or off-road conditions. Wet lubes are ideal for most weather conditions. In fact, you can use them almost throughout the year. They’re more effective during wet seasons as they are water-resistant. How often should I lube my bike chain?

I usually clean the chain after a ride anyway then relube the links – give it a work in then wipe off excess (using the chain scrub also then mostly cleans the rest of the drivechain)… every so often I’ll take the chain off and clean it then give it a spray with 3-in-1 work it all in and then wipe until a paper towel is more or less dry…(used oil soaked paper towels then get used to light the fire) Being long-lived makes the Finish Line Dry Bike Lubricant something of a known quantity – if you haven't used it yourself, you probably know somebody who has. But time doesn't stand still. Up against sophisticated ceramic lubes and clever wax-based formulations, can Finish Line Dry chain lube still cut it? The bike market is brimming with maintenance products these days; there’s a variety of greases, chain lubes, cleaners, compounds, and more for nearly every component out there. Finish Line Dry is still a decent chain lube, but you can buy better. Which is the best chain lube? Scores on the doorsEcoTech Bike Degreaser is a strong, 100% active degreaser that is safe for all parts. It is strong enough for the grimiest metal parts, yet safe enough to clean parts with rubber o-rings and seals, urethane elastomers, and painted surfaces. Many people were using motor oil, some were using cooking oil, some were using hot-wax dipping,” Krause told Bicycling. Finish Line's Dry Lube goes on wet and sets up with a dry 'wax-like' synthetic film that helps keep your chain clean by not absorbing excessive amounts grit, grime, or dust. Thanks to the added Teflon™ fluoropolymer, Finish Line's Dry Lube minimizes pedaling friction, repels moisture, and withstands rides up to 100 miles. An extremely versatile lubricant and a perfect choice for many road and off-road cyclist. Finish Line's Ceramic Wax lube is an advanced, wax based bicycle chain lubricant that ensures total drivetrain cleanliness without the distance compromise that other wax lubricants require. Ceramic Wax Lube has even been use by one of Finish Line's WorldTour teams in dry weather races of 120 miles. Ceramic Wax lube is the perfect choice for serious cyclists who want to minimize the amount of time they spend on drivetrain maintenance and maximize the amount of time they spend in the saddle.

Extreme Fluoro Grease is made with 100% pure DuPont® fluorinated ingredients. Perfect for those seeking a significant drop in friction and maximum protection against extreme pressures and/or extreme rotational heat. The only lubricant approved and recommended by S&S Machine for use with their couplers. I used some Finish Line Ceramic for a while, was never impressed, seemed to end up a bit messy (albeit the residue it left was ‘dry’) and the drivetrain was always a bit noisy. Certainly nowhere near as good as Squirt. As for how long it takes dry lube to fully dry after application, Krause said it depends on the ambient temperature and humidity, so you might not want to apply it immediately prior to riding. It could take anywhere from minutes to up to half an hour.year-old Jo Jobson due to be sentenced on Wednesday for his part in armed robbery of Cavendish and his wife, Peta, at their home in Essex in November 2021 I'd probably prefer to get one lube for both my road and mountain bike, but would get separate ones if it's beneficial. I don't necessarily need the fastest lube on the market, but would like one that protects my drivetrains well and is fairly low maintenance after initial installation. Given where, what and when I ride, dry lube is probably the better fit. I ride both road and mountain bikes and have used finish line dry lube for as long as I can remember. Don't have many good or bad things to say about it, partially because I don't have much to compare it to, but I've been thinking about changing it up. The one thing that does frustrate me a little, is all my drivetrains seem to get gunked faster than other people's, even with very frequent lubing and cleaning.

The short answer: probably. For mountain bikers and other off-road cyclists, it’s a great choice. Riding in dusty, gritty conditions is why it was created in the first place, and it can handle slightly wet conditions. Most cyclists would benefit from using dry bike chain lube as their go-to, according to Krause. He sees it used in all disciplines.
