Park Tool chain lube

[rob feature]

So I tried some of this stuff out a while back. Late September to be exact.

I ran out of the usual White Lightning, which I generally replace every 50 - 100 miles, but had some Park chain lube on hand so slathered it all over the chain & let it sit overnight. It made a helluva mess. It's like a goopy & slightly sticky oil that just manages to get all over everything. I swore that I would never use it again, as I did not wipe off the slop after and soon discovered that was a bad idea.

Not too far after that, I noticed my chain was nearing the go-side of the chain-checker at .75, so it was time to start checking it. As it was wearing anyway, I quit lubing it - wondering when the Park treatment was gonna wear out and start making noise, shifting poorly, etc. Almost 1000 miles later, no joke, I still have not lubed it. It has shown no signs of corrosion, any degradation in shifting, and no noise. Anybody else tried it out?

I found one lube that goes around 1200 miles even with the rain and its not too messy. but its super think and a pain to apply

I always use a chain wax of some kind, I've been using it for years on my motorbikes and I bought some bicycle specific chain wax for my e bike. It doesn't last as long as gooey lubes, but the upside is it works, and doesn't fling off or attract much dirt, Just reapply as necessary.

I use maxima chain lube followed by maxima chain wax. The lube is wet and gets deep into the chain. The maxima chain wax then seals that lube in. Great products IMO. No wear on my chain check tool after 1,200 mi. with a bafang ultra motor.. Of course I'm careful not to nail it in 9th gear etc. and mostly ride dry pavement and try not to stress the drive train at any time
