Dumonde Tech Bicycle Chain Lubrication(Return to Product Page)

I have been using the Tech-Lite for more than 5 years now, it was recommended by the bike shop that I frequent. They have since stopped recommending it and carrying it because it is so hard to clean off of cassettes and derailleurs, and it is a wet lube and tends to attract dirt. It does work well and I have found that citrus cleaners dissolve it quite nicely and I don't mind spending a few extra minutes cleaning it from my drive train occasionally, and reapplying the lube.

Excellent product. Durable (especially in wet conditions). The only exception I've run into is very dusty conditions. After carefully following instructions (the chain was spotless prior to applying), I get a build up of sludge after the first several rides. Dry cleaning your chain with a rag after the first 3-4 dusty rides is very helpful. After this, no problem with dust. I have the same problem with the Lite version of Dumonde Tech.

Long back, I tried wax based lubes but they made an awful mess. I returned to Tri-Flow even though it required frequent applications and chain cleaning. Now that I've tried the Dumonde Tech lube (I use the lighter version) I must say I am very pleased. It stays much dryer than Tri-Flow and holds a lot less dirt. But my main hurrah for this product is how much it quited down my previously noisy Dura-Ace drivetrain.

I use the lightweight version on my race bikes' chains and on the internals of my PowerCranks. I'm not super-thorough about cleaning and re-lubing, and this stuff seems to hold up pretty well.

I've bought the heavier version for my rain bike, but I haven't tried it out yet.

I've used the yellow Dumonde Lite for years and re-lube every 3-4 rides depending on weather and mileage. I drip it on then wipe it off and it keeps the chain clean as well. My mechanic always remarks what great shape my chain is in and how long they seem to last, usually 2000-2500 miles. Only drawback is the fumes which are strong. I think best used well ventilated.

Great product for the money and ranks up with all of the best chain lubes.

I've tried a number of chain lubes. Dumonde is by far my favorite. Now I can clean and re-lube every 3-5 rides. Instead of every other.

I tried this lube simply because I had read and heard that it reduces noise from the drive train. My old lube worked well as a lube but the Dura Ace 10 drive train was pretty noisy with it, much more so than I thought such a quality component should be.

This stuff works as well as I had hoped. I started with Dumonde Lite when I changed to a new chain. It was immediately quieter than the old lube by a noticeable degree and got better until about the third oiling. Instead of the low grinding noise I previously heard while pedaling along now, it is more of a subtle hum.

I have tried a number of different lubes over the years including wax lubes (hate them), oil based lubes and synthetic lubes. Except for the wax lubes they were all kind of serviceable as lubricants but this one works well both as a lubricant and a drive train noise dampener. It quiets the drivetrain noise much better than anything I have tried. I like it a lot and won't go back to the old lubes. We have now switched to Dumonde Lite for all four road bikes that my wife and I own.

I highly recommend it for road bike use.

I have been using Dumonde for about 8 years. I have never found a better lube. This stuff keeps the chain quiet and shifting regardless of conditions. Stream crossings and rain do not wash it off. Cleaning your bike with soap and water will not remove the lube.

I use the original on both mountain and road bikes. The key is to clean your chain as recommended, coat every link, ride a bit, then wipe off everything, chain and chain rings. Once a base is established, this stuff lasts. I find that I re-apply about every 300 miles, rain or dry.

I received this as a gift from my sister in law last Christmas. My brother and her being competitive racerriders in Southern California I thought this lube would not hold up in the Pacific Northwest. I was thinking this stuff is desert lube and it would wash away after one puddle! I was so wrong, this stuff is as advertise, sticks to the chain in all conditions and some of the cleanest lube I have ever used. Cross and MTB for me and after riding through what would have other lubes buckling and your drive train sounding like a nest of squealing sparrows this stuff is still going strong, quit as ever. I seriously think this is alien technology, but whatever it is I am hooked and I hope she gets me more this Christmas.

I've been using D-tech on my road bike and bikepacking rig for several years. It holds to the chain really well and lasts. I carry a small bottle for trips when I expect dry, gritty conditions.

Odor is tuff indoors protect your hands ect,follow directions for use, no degreasers at all very important. Enjoy excellent results, savings and convenience.

Very effective lube with a pleasant smell.

Works perfectly, runs clean, lasts forever.

My go to lube. I notice much better shifting using the Tech lube product than other brands that I have used.

Goes on easy. Solvent actually cleans the chain for you. After a simple wipe and roll of the crank and cogs you're done. Only drawback is the smell which reminds me of paint thinner and results in a headache but it quickly fades. Apply weekly for best results.

Once you start using this chain lube you stop using others even when they are right in front of you. Chain is noticeably quieter and performs better. Also, collects less material that needs to be cleaned up.

Outstanding product, will keep using

Great lube. Let it soak in, then wipe clean.

After cleaning my bike chain, I put this lubricant on it and the chain seems to run smoother over the gears with less noise.
