About Park Tool CL-1 Synthetic Blend Chain Lube Bottle 4 oz
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
68% liked its ability to clean the chain, but 32% found it left residue
When I used the Park Tool Cleaner system along with the product, it worked really well.
The cap lets me adjust the lube flow, but it requires extra cleaning even after wiping.
I used the Park Tool CL-1 Synthetic Blend Chain Lube to oil the rollers after cleaning the chain and letting it penetrate for a few minutes before wiping it down.
When applying the lube with a rag under the chain, dirt and grime melt right off, indicating the lube's good cleaning ability.
