Does anyone use this oil? Does it perform well? I’m looking for the new best possible. I would like it to have a life expectancy of over 100km without any problems

That is completely impossible to project / estimate or tell you what will give you what you want. I would expect problems and plan accordingly.

I used it and will use it again.
Used it for a 2-day 500 km gravel ride in wet conditions and during the Unbound 200Miles 2022.

The most efficient way of lubing you chain is waxing it. However, this is also a bit more time consuming.

The best next thing is drip wax. Like Silca super secret chain lube. It depends a bit on what is available to you, but this is one of the most efficient lubes. Dirt also doesn’t stick as well on your chain using drip wax opposed to wet lube.

This site does tests to see which lube is most efficient: https://zerofrictioncycling.com.au/lubetesting/

The lube I recommended to you is very high on the list on this site 🙂

I’ve used a bunch of different lubrication solutions. Multiple Finish Line and Rock N Roll pruducts, Muc-off, Park Tool, and a bunch of other brands I’m forgetting. I’ve always just bought what the random shop I’ve happened be in had in stock, or used what a buddy had on hand.

I’ve tried *a lot* of different chain lubes.

They have all worked about the same. I’ve never really been able to tell the difference in life expectancy. Sure, wet and dry lubes preform differently and have different use cases, but even when using them outside of their intended use, they still work roughly the same.

I think ‘brand’ plays a much smaller role in chain lube performance then most people realize. A much, much bigger factor in lubrications performance is chain cleanliness and how, and how often, you are cleaning your chain. Applying lube to a dirty chain will not last nearly as long as that same lube applied to a clean chain.

Keeping your chain lubricated is a two step process, cleaning and lubing. *Many* people leave out that first step. And therefor, tend to shop around for a better lube versus following best practices, and cleaning their chain every once in a while.

After trying a bunch of different lubes and cleaning solutions, this is what I’ve landed on. For drip lubricant’s, it is extremely difficult for me to not recommend **Boeshield T-9** over anything else. Especially if you are lazy about cleaning your chain.

In regards to cleaning, I’ve been really happy with the park tool stuff. **CM-5.3 and CB-4**. This, in conjunction with Boeshield works very well. With the Boeshield, that will also work to clean your chain, so you can skip the actually chain cleaning sometimes.

All that said, if you have the time and are willing to do some research, hot wax systems are far superior to drip lubes. There are some wax drip lubes on the market, but I’ve not messed with them too much. I have friends that will skip the hot wax, strip a chain and go with the drip instead, and they are having mixed results right now. So, I cannot recommend that.

The absolute best performance I’ve had of in a chain lubricant has been with **Silca Super Secret Hot wax.** It is quiet, long lasting, and very clean. If you are not riding in the wet, you can easily go 1000 miles between waxing. I’ve also found the matching Silca drip wax is a great way to maintain a hot waxed chain, however should not be substituted for a wax immersion every once in awhile.

If you want the best, the only correct answer is hot wax.

If you want to know more about lubes, this is the place to be. The lube you’re interested in isn’t tested yet, but the brand is the official supplier of Jumbo, Bora and alpacine (3 World tour teams). So I think this lube should be okay.

Personally, I use silca synergetic because it is the lube that scored the best in the test done by zero friction cycling.
