i have used the regular prolink for years and it works great in dry conditions but does not last long in wet conditions. the xtreme is not noticeably thicker coming out of the bottle but definitely last longer in wet conditions, about 2 to 3 times longer for me. since it is still a thin bodied lube does not attract much dirt unlike some of the thicker bodied lubes i have used for wet weather riding in the past. i would recommend this to anyone who likes a thin bodied lube that can perform in wet conditions.
I normally use ProGold on all my road bikes, but use this on my mountain bike and commuter. It's a little thicker and seems to wear better for wet and muddy conditions.
I store the commute bike outside (balcony) so the chain loses lube over time. That and the fact that I am commuting in weather -although typically not in pouring rain. I have gradually moved from dry lube, to ProGold, and now to the 'Xtreme' product. It keeps working longer. Put it on liberally, wipe thoroughly, then let it sit overnight before you ride.
Long lasting lube , holds up well
ProGold ProLink is my go-to chain lube, and it generally does fine in light rain. The ProGold Xtreme holds up much better in heavier rain and, like the lighter weight variety, doesn't gum up your drivetrain. The Xtreme does a great job preventing corrosion, which is a boon for bike commuters who don't have time to dry off and re-lube their chains after every wet ride to work...This is one of those rare products that sets the bar high and lives up to its promise.
What a difference this makes! I thought it was pricey at first, but well worth it.
I've tried multiple lubes over the years but always go back to this one. It wears well and doesn't build up or leave a mess. The Xtreme version works particularly well in wet conditions.
I use this lubricant on my mtb and it works super smooth. I go on really bad trails and this lubricant definitely keeps my chain running like new for a quite a while.
Just discovered this product that has all the qualities of 'regular' Pro-Link with more durability. Impreceptible viscosity increase and I am getting 200 New England winter road miles in JanyFeb per application. Road chemicals, slush, and grime make little impact and the product stays on the chain! And as with 'regular' Pro-Link, cleanup is a quick wipe, dry, re-lube.
Lasts 30 miles in hard CX racing! Haven't found anything else that lasts that long in tough conditions.
does its job. lasts a long while between lubes. chain stays clean and dry under most conditions. bike washing and immersion will wash it out. lube afterwards.
Easy to apply with the well designed tip. Good directions and information on the label, worth reading!
The ProGold Extreme is great stuff, it keeps the chain running smooth and quite a lot longer than other lubes, so you're not having to get your fingers dirty/oily as often and you can enjoy riding more!
All I ever use anymore. Chain runs clean and you push more watts.
Am a big fan of the regular Pro Gold, so this was a no brainer for winter. Definitely recommend if you don't want to spend as much on Dumonde or others.
