It's easy to apply and it appears to work.I pushed my luck for 800 miles on a sigle application and its all ok

Easy to apply, gones on thick and stays on the chain.

I like to clean my chain and then apply fresh chain lube. I only got a single application out of the can. You could probably squeeze to applications out of a can, but if your really into looking after your chain this is probably an expensive route to go down.

Technically this lube is great, you can apply a think coating to your chain and it is easy to apply. You can get it to look like you have waxed the chain if you want to go that far. The lube stays on the chain too, so after a few rides you can still see it as if you only just applied it.

This is racing lube so it not expected that you use it in the wet, but it seems to hold together reasonably well but I wouldn't like to push it too much.

As you are supposed to lube your chain every 250 miles, it could be a little costly to clean and lube with the cost of castols products and the fact that a thorough job could half empty the can, and then some.

Over all I am pleased with the product and will continue to purchase and use it, as recommended by my Bike dealer (not to say I will be purchasing from the bike dealer as they charge more than anyone else).

On the fence

Easy to apply & doesn't fly off all over the place

Expensive compared to others and needs immediate re-application after running in wet conditions. I've used most of the can in just a few weeks of winter riding.

I started using it as the old Castrol chain wax was recommended to me but this has superceded it. Think it would be fine for summer/dry use but not too great for the winter. I'll be going back to Wurth chain wax.
