About SILCA Synergetic Oil Based Bike Chain Lube for Clean, Smooth and Silent Drivetrains
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
85% liked its ability to clean the chain, but 15% found it left residue
Cleaning the chain is not enough.
I am dissatisfied with the cleaning ability of the bike-lube. The chain, chainring, and cluster were all covered in a sludgy black paste after using the lube.
78% found it easy to apply, while 22% struggled with the process
The new bottles of this lube use a regular dropper for application instead of a blunt-tip needle.
I am disappointed with the new cap design as it is harder to get one drop per link using the black twist-to-open cap.
93% appreciated its long-lasting effect
The drivetrain remained smooth throughout, but the noise increased slightly from the narrow-wide chainring at around 70 miles.
Using this lube, I have found that the chains last over 6000 miles without any extra cassette wear.
If I meticulously clean the chain, apply less than what I thought, and wipe it down after rides, the chain lube lasts for a long time.
94% praised for its excellent lubrication, while 6% thought it wore off quickly
I am disappointed with the lubrication performance of the bike-lube. It picked up a large amount of foreign debris during a relatively low-dirt ride and required over an hour of cleanup afterwards.
89% appreciated its water-resistant properties, though 11% found it washed off easily
I never had much luck with dry lubes in mixed conditions as traditional wet lubes attracted too much dirt.
