About WD-40 Specialist Bike Chain Lube
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
75% liked its ability to clean the chain
The easiest way to clean my bike is without disassembly.
I have a hack for cleaning bike-lube. Use a cheap nylon brush and put the gear range in the middle. Freewheel backwards to clean while holding the brush on the rear cassette.
After 4 years of riding the same bike, the chain rides like new again with the bike lube cleaning it up so well.
The foaming action of our bike-lube cleans the drive train really well.
86% found it easy to apply, while 14% struggled with the process
This lube is easy to apply and does not drip or make a mess.
I found the product quick, easy to use, and highly effective for someone who rides a few thousand miles every year.
I suggest applying a small amount of bike-lube, keeping the chain rotating and changing gears. Then, remove the excess with a rag. This will keep my bike and chain clean and prolong its lifespan.
I applied the degreaser, let it sit for two minutes, and rinsed. After a quick scrub with a shop towel, it looked brand new.

75% appreciated its long-lasting effect, but 25% found it broke down quickly
On dusty long (60+ mile) mountain bike rides, the lube has lasted.
I have been using this lubricant for 24 years and it is my go-to choice for non-motorsports chains.
On dusty long (60+ mile) mountain bike rides, the lube has lasted for a long time.
The lubricant didn't last long enough. The chain got noisy within 20 minutes and was hanging up and squeaking around the chainring after 40 minutes.

76% praised for its excellent lubrication, while 24% thought it wore off quickly
This bike lube penetrates deep into the chain links, protecting them from rust and corrosion while reducing friction and noise for a smoother, quieter ride.
WD-40 dry lube does a great job at lubricating without attracting dirt and muck.
The product penetrates deep into the chain links, protecting them from rust and corrosion. It also reduces friction and noise, making my ride smoother and quieter.
After using the product for a month, I noticed that the drive train was very noisy and there was extreme wear and tear on the chainring. However, after using a different lube, it became much smoother, quieter, and looked more lubricated.

69% appreciated its water-resistant properties, though 31% found it washed off easily
I noticed that the chain did not have many problems and was slow to accumulate mud.
I found that the product is not water resistant as it did not hold up in a rain storm.
In a rain storm, the product did not hold up. It is not an all-purpose lube.
