I've used many different lubes through the years for my road bikes. This is still an oil based lube but actually runs cleaner than most. The noticeable thing for me is how much quieter and smoother my drive train runs. I'm a fanatic about putting my bike on the stand and wiping it down after every ride. Included with this is a meticulous pampering of my chain. I tried the UFO wax formula and it seems to work for the 1st 5 to 10 miles before I can hear it wear off which brings to question whether the wax method really is lubing good. The bonus to the wax though is how clean it stays. In the dry dusty region of southern Utah where I ride the Silca Synergetic works great. I don't mind wiping it after every ride since that's a habit for me anyway. It's just that it is so noticeable how it really is working. Chain wear is negligible. I reapply after each 100 miles although I know I could go farther. Night and day difference between this lube and for example Rock n Roll Red or Gold. I'm sold and don't see changing for years to come. It seems more expensive per bottle but you use so little in the application that it lasts long too. If you are tired of the wax thing and aren't put off by wiping off your chain regularly then you just can't find a better lube in my opinion. Do you like a quiet drive train? Then, you better try it! Cheers and happy riding...!
I experienced a smoother and quieter ride using the Silca's Synergetic Wet Lube. I replaced my previous wet lube product. I did have to spend a few minutes swaying the bottle back and forth to get an even distribution of some suspended components of the lube. But the end product was better shifting drive train.
The lube bottle applicator is the best I ever used and lets you put an even amount of chain lube across each link with no waste. It's a great product as I was hooked on paraffin wax based lubes, however, they were good for dry conditions and terrible in wet conditions. The Silca Synergetic Wet Chain Lube is perfect for all conditions and it provides a very smooth low friction protection for your chain.
Smooth and durable. Makes things a little quieter and very durable. One application lasted more than 350 miles. The only downside, it is oil, so, don't expect perfectly clean chain. It runs dirty especially for the first few rides. Be prepared to clean your chain after every ride. Eventually, it gets better, but don't expect the same as you see from a dry lube, such as the Rock n roll Gold
Concentrated oil that goes on well and precisely with the included applicator - I can imagine this little bottle lasts for over a year of frequent (3 times +) per week riding and in all conditions - easy to wipe chain after a few hundred miles of one use then re-apply and go again. Bought it for smoothness , quiet drivetrain and (compared with wax lubes) very little maintenance.
