IMO it's the best all year/weather lube I've found:

Awesome. Just bought a small bottle but this can go on the shelf 🙂

So this stuff is not gunky?

No build-up of residue on the drivetrain?

I could be tempted away from Epic Ride at that price...

Well I still use squirt/wax for short summer rides but any longer than 2 hours it's the go to lube. Hardly any residue, and less than half price!

MRP and E13 both specifically advised against Pro Link due to its paraffin base wrecking their plastic.

(old bookmarks from previous discussion dunno if they still work and current puter not playing ball).

Not really the end of the world since N-W chainrings came along.

FWIW I've started using UBS since my muck-off dry lube ran out, so far so good, I've been topping it up each ride (25 miles) so far simply because I don't trust something that thin to have accumulated inside the links in a single application! But will stop and run it dry now and see how long it lasts, muck-off use to last about 90 miles before it started to make a little noise then about another 40 until it was definitely dry.

Putoline (if you can be bothered) is the dogs danglies over winter).

thanks, my summer lube of choice 🙂 normally £25

free delivery over £30, only problem is what else to buy from Halfords? :p

Halfords' site is totally shagged though? couldn't add to basket without searching, then hangs during payment (Firefox), in Chrome just said it wasn't available. finally worked on another PC, I think.

yeah i keep the small pot and decant these into it bit by bit. never use the spray.

try this link if one above isn't working

Is the spray the same consistency as the dropper bottle or has it been thinned or had more solvent added?

@eat_more_cheese that's such sound logic, spend more to save more! 😀

Ordered a moment ago for collection Monday. Last lot still going strong and compliments Squirt for wetter conditions. 😀
