I like that I can tell when my bike needs to b lubed again as it does not shift or ride as easily as usual so I just lube it again

Works well. Can tell a real difference after I treat my chain.

I've been using the yellow Lite Chain Lube on my road bikes for about six months. It definitely lasts longer between lubes than other lubricants.

I prefer this lube because my mechanic likes it. It seems to attract less dust and does not become so black as other lubes.

A little dabble do ya. Nothing performs like Dumond's on my cross country MB. Makes my wheels turn.
Review by OaktownCyclist
Would have tried this long ago if not for the price. Only applied twice so far (but that's a good sign in a month, right?) and am still debating whether I buy their whole Only lube when you hear your chain? velosophy.
So far so good.

Lasts for several rides. Apply in the evening, wipe residue off in the morning.

I've been using Dumonde lube on my road bike for over a year. 3,500 miles. Great chain lube. I recently ordered a bottle from BTD and was surprised when I received it. I've been paying bike stores over [$] for a TWO ounce bottle. This is a FOUR ounce bottle. A great deal!!

Review by Ken S
Dumonde Tech Lite is the best chain Lube that I have ever used. I ride close to 7,000 road miles a year and I only oil the chain after i wash the bike or when the chain starts to squeak a bit, a 4 oz. bottle last me well over a year. The oil is clean and the chain doesn't get as gunked up as it does with other products i have used. Just put a drop in each link pivot point turn the crank a bit, wipe off any excess and you are good to go.

This the best chain lube I've tried so far. You don't need to apply too often. When the chain is a bit dirty I just use damp cloth wipe it off.

I've only been using this oil for a month or so (600miles), so, can't speak to how well it protects the chain in the long run. However, the first thing I noticed was how quiet the drive train becomes after applying it. Hopefully that translates to reduced chain wear and tear. Also, love the bubble gum smell!

I degreased the chain as per the instructions, applied dumonde chain lube, wiped it dry and rode as usual. I really liked the way it lubed and didn't turn black and nasty on my chain, cassette, and chain rings. I now only reapply when the chain starts to make any noise. It's great.

Stays on in long rides in heavy rain. Results in a nice, quiet chain.

Love this product, I use the lite on my race bike, and the regular on my rain bike. It works super.

Great all year lube.
Review by JG in Milwaukee
I've been using this lube about six months now. It does last a long time, and with very little effort my chains always look clean and glossy. As warned, I took pains to make sure that the initial application was on a very clean chain I removed it and soaked it in solvent. After riding a new application there is a black residue that develops. However, that residue wipes off easily and wiping the chain after each of the first few rides was very easy (I simply run the chain through a papertowel a couple of times) and brought the chain back to a very clean state. Ditto the chainrings and cassette. It's much easier to keep the chain looking clean than with any other lube I've used. I'm getting between 300-400 noise free miles between applications! I've felt no need to completely clean the chain since, with the wiping between rides and reapplication after 300-400 miles, I always have a well running and clean chain. And I love the blue cheese smell.

I have been very impressed with this lube. I have used tri-flow and finish line in the past and this lube puts both of them to shame. When applied properly, it stays put and does not spread to the cassette, chain rings or the derailleur, as the others are wont to do. It may be my imagination, but pedaling is quieter and shifting is better with less jumping and hesitation. It is more expensive, but well worth it, as bike maintenance is my job exclusively, in this family, and everything stays cleaner, longer! It definitely helps to apply, then let it sit overnight, and wipe off the excess the next day.

As most of the reviews have said this stuff keeps the chain quiet but the best suprise i got from this lube is how long my drive train lasts i get anywhere from 13k to 15k from a chain cassette combo which to me makes this lube pay for itself at well over 200 bucks for a dura ace chain and cassette on ebay this lube by my best quess saves me almost a thousand bucks on replacing those parts every 6 or 7 weeks at 2,500 miles for the year, seeing over the last 9 years i've cycled 111,334 miles or a little over 12,000 yearly so this stuff has saved me a small fortune in replacement parts and that alone makes this the best stuff ever made for your chain and your pocket book , only downside i can see is it is a little bit messy compared to other lubes but for what i save i'll clean more othen and do it gladly.......

I'm pretty OCD about my chain - wipe it off after each ride and cleanrelube every 300 miles or so. This is the best stuff I've found that really quiets chain noise. Put it on heavy, let sit overnite and wipe it off well.
