Description
BikeSocial reviewed 55 chain lubes – including gear oil, chainsaw oil and more – to find out which YOU should use.
After finding out what BikeSocial community members use to lube their chains, BikeSocial has tested 55 different products for fling, stickiness, ease of cleaning, corrosion protection and appearance, as well as for wear protection and extreme pressure protection.
This is the biggest test of its kind ever carried out, covering months of work and the service of one of the world’s leading independent lubrication testing labs.
