Specialist Bike Wet Chain Lube, 4 OZ

I was resurrecting a 2003 GT Palomar that had been sitting for about 9 years and figured I'd give this a try. The bike was dirty and the chain had surface rust from it's time in the shed. So, I gave the bicycle a thorough washing and started getting it ready for sale. I pulled the rusty chain and cleaned it with regular WD-40, steel wool and a microfiber towel. I would soak the chain with WD-40 and pull it through the steel wool a few times. Then, I'd pull it through the microfiber/rag to remove any steel wool and loose corrosion, then repeated until it was clean. I put the chain back on and used an old T-shirt to put a light coat of this wet lube on as I spun the pedals and the chain ran nice and smooth. At this point I made sure I ran the chain through the gears, to lube and remove corrosion from those and the chainrings. Then, I would wipe the chain with a microfiber to clean it, and reapply lube with the T-shirt until the everything was clean and lubricated. I also cleaned the front and rear derailleurs and jockey wheels, with WD-40 and a microfiber cloth, then used this lube on the pivot points and jockey wheels and worked it in. The derailleurs loosened up to where I had to re-adjust the L-H and shifting index. After a final wipe down the chain and derailleurs and entire drive train is working smoother than when the bike was new. For the heck of it, ( as I used to do with my bikes as a kid) I also laid the bike on it's side and used this lube around the axles and cranks and let it soak in. Then flipped it over and did the other side. From there, I ran the bike with the wet lube for a few rides, then pulled the axles and cranks for a service. The loose bearings from the wheels and cranks were easy to clean and I packed and reinstalled them with Phil Wood grease. Also a few drops down the cable housings, did wonders for the cables as well. If you don't have a bike stand, and work on bikes upside down, protect your handlebars and seat. I wish I'd figured this simple concept out years ago. It would have saved wear and scratches on shifters and seats. Now, I do have to admit this one thing. I was originally cleaning up the old 2003 GT Palomar to put up for sale. Once I got everything dialed in, I decided it was worth more than anyone would pay and wound up upgrading it to become a great ride for myself. One of the upgrades was a new KMC 8 chain that was well worth the money. So, all the time I spent cleaning the old chain was a waste. If you are deciding whether or not to keep an old bike, take look at a new chain before spending the time on an old one. Also, watch videos if you are not sure about doing a repair or service. You will see a variety of parts I purchased from Amazon during my journey to build my old GT. In the end, only the frame, rear derailleur and seat are original, but it's bulletproof for the way I ride it and equivalent to a $1,500 or so new bicycle for less money. If you are working with a children's bike, you may just want to clean and lubricate it to keep it going until you have to buy a larger bicycle for them. In the end, for me, this was a good lubricant and has become what I use on my chain, derailleurs, jockey wheels and non-lined cable housings. I put some on, work it in, wipe off the excess, keep the bike clean after rides and it's been great. Ride safe.

I’m reviving an old bike that sat in the garage for a couple of years and thought I’d need to replace the chain. I decided to try this instead, and after applying a bit of the oil, the chain feels smooth and works like new again. It goes on easily, doesn’t make a mess, and provides great protection against moisture and rust. Perfect for bikes that have been stored or ridden in wet conditions. Definitely worth keeping on hand for regular maintenance! Price is reasonable

Great chain lube...can't go wrong with WD-40 products.

A light oil that will NOT attract and hold sand, dirt, dust. However, because it is 'light' one must apply this oil relatively frequently. Squeeze container and spout make it easy to apply to chain and small bolts. Takes rust off quickly if one wipes surface off after a few minutes. Basically 'GOOD STUFF' at a good price - no negative comments!

I use this for daily commuting in any weather. It keeps my chain from rusting. Perhaps any other fairly sticky oil would work just as well. The tube is handy for applying to the chain.

I know this is not the intended use, but I put a few drops into the keyhole of a lock that was getting difficult to use. Keys slide in like butter now. I have also used it for bike chains and it works well.

Works well with repelling dirt and mud off of the bike chains.

Item arrived on time and intact. Item was exactly what I was looking for and was as described by the seller. Item has been used several times and appears to work I am very happy with this purchase

Good, the delivery was a little bit late

Very effective . The best in market

Lo utilicé en la cadena de los portones eléctricos y funcionó excelente. Los mantiene lubricados y dejaron de hacer ruido en cuanto lo apliqué. Lo recomiendo más en aerosol pues es más sencilla su aplicación, la versión en aerosol la conseguí en amazon USA

I used this on a 13-year-old bike that was totally neglected, and it worked a treat. The chains are turning again and the squeaky noises are gone. Great to resurrect an old timers and go on cycling sessions with my six-years-old who has just removed his training wheels. Great product and pretty good price to resolve a niggling problem.
