Review by Danin PA
I ordered this to try something else. The other lubes were good - very good - but no matter how diligent I was with application, wipe down, puddle avoidance, etc, my drive train turned black after two rides. My chains lasted (DA or Ultegra only, 3500-4500 miles), but it took constant attention, cleaning, wiping, re-application, and diligence.
I ordered ProGold ProLink, both Heavy Duty and Regular (HD is for my rain bike). I cleaned the drivetrain, let it dry, then applied in accordance with the directions.
The next morning I rolled out for a ride (mid-winter, lots of salt, cinders, and dirt) and rode 20. The drivetrain was quiet (good) and remained silver (VERY good). I rode the next week indoors (snow, ice, wind is unfun). Still clean. I rode 30 outdoors on Saturday - still clean.
This is the first lube I've used in over 30 years of road cycling that doesn't attract and hold dirt - it's amazing. It smells like kerosene (and that may be the secret) but I don't care. This stuff is GREAT, and I can highly recommend it! Just keep away from open flames while applying.

Best cleanerlubricant I've used so far! I've tried quite a few to use in the rainy northwest, and ProLink seems to be the best in wet, dirty conditions.

This was not available at the local bike shops here, and I'd heard good things about it. I bike commute daily, and have tried many, and have to say this is turning out to be my favorite. Excellent lubrication, nor does it seem to cake up or collect a bunch of grime and dirt. My cassette and chain stay cleaner. This is not a super heavy oil, nor is it so light that it washes out with a couple of rains. Am very pleased.

I've used Prolink for the past 7 years and am very happy with how well it protects my chains. I get between 2000 miles and 4000 miles on an Ultegra chain in Northern California (mostly dry rides).

I've been using this for years and it's the best I've found. I use for a combination of cleaning and lubing and it excels. Especially good for those rainy winters.

This is very dry lube. It actually cleans the chain while lubing it. I use this lube exclusively, and never had had any issues.

Teflon and Tri flow was not working for me. After a few rides the chain stated to make noises. A few drops of this and the noise is gone. I can focus on my riding again. The chain looks cleaner after my rides too.

This is the best chain lube I've ever used, and I've used a lot through the years. It runs clean and the applicator bottle, unlike some, doesn't suck.
Review by JFR
ProGold Prolink is an excellent chain lube. Easy to use. Ordinarily good for several hundred dry miles if chain is kept clean between rides. May not be the lowest friction, but seems to do a good job balancing that and durability.
Review by Adam
It's really runny. I usually use finish line dry. This was on sale so I tried it. It's really runny and sort of splashes off the chain. The lubrication is adequate but it's not magic. I'll stick with FL.
Review by Rodney
Lubricates and cleans chains making a silent drive-train. Apply immediately after a ride, let it penetrate, then wipe off excess with rags. After several applications you will be sold. Great lubricant!

This is one of the best chain lubricants I've tried. Had bought many different ones but they would dry out fast. This is definitely worth the money.

I've been using ProGold for years. I've tried others, but nothing runs as well or as clean as this one. I ride a lot during the wet winters here in the PNW, so I apply it more often than some of the other, heavier, lubes, but it's worth it.
Review by Serious cyclist
I've been using this brand for several years. I have found it to be the best. Doesn't build up, helps keep the chain clean
Review by Gale
We like the pro gold chain oil as it is easy to apply and wipe clean. We use it about every 100-150 miles.

This is my preferred chain oil, do not use any other.
Review by ORbiker
I've been using Pro Gold for a couple years - mostly on an high-mileage all-roadgravel bike. Really like the light, dry touch of this lube. Needs regular application, but it's ideal if you do routine chain cleaning and apply fresh lube with each cleaning session. I use it in wet and dry conditions and have been getting great chain life and smooth drivetrain operation.
Review by IslandRider
Easy to apply without making a mess, thanks to the applicator top. Seems to do a decent job of chain lubing without attracting a lot of dirt. I've been able to just wipe the chain down with a rag and keep it pretty spotless. Have only been using this for road riding in dry conditions, so can't speak to how it works for dirt and muddy conditions you'd encounter on MTB or gravel riding.

Makes the chain and cassette real black, not sure if it last as long as some of the other products I used in the past.

This is good and easy to clean.
