Great Eco-friendly wax!
This is my first time using wax based lube and I don’t think I’ll go back. I ride on the road and trails a few times a week, so far this lube is riding and shifting just as smoothly as any other. Because the lube comes out milky white it’s easier to see when your chain is fully lubed and it seems to drip less during the application (not sure if this is the case for all wax lines or just this one?). I also (mostly) love that it’s environmentally friendly! Oh and I LOVE that it’s environmentally friendly!
Good chain lube, a little thicker than others
Seems like good chain lube. It goes on a little thicker than some other chain lubes I've used which is nice. I think that helps it actually stay on the chain instead of just dripping off. The applicator is pretty liberal which makes spilling lube on the ground likely.
Great, ecofriendly, and easy to use!
I received these products for free from the REI Trailblazers sampling program in exchange for my honest review. This lube is great! Not only is it ecofriendly but the fact that it is white makes it easy to see where I have applied it already and reduces waste. It also is a little thicker than a traditional oil based lube so I don't have to worry about it running or getting on other products. Overall, I'm really impressed with the quality and I think this little bottle will last for a long time. It's also nice to see more ecofriendly products, especially since I ride in the woods and I want to be conscious of any products I'm leaving behind.
Great for desert riding
Big fan of wax vs lube in the desert where I do all my riding. It’s great and works well as long as it’s applied after a ride and rinsed off and left to dry overnight. Otherwise it’s wet and defeats the purpose. Also I’m a huge fan of the biodegradable aspect. Makes me feel better about applying outside and not leaving chemicals behind.
So far, so good
I had been using a certain synthetic dry lube that kept the chain very clean, but I wanted to try something less damaging to my immediate environment. So far, it’s performing well, and the chain stays clean as long as I wipe it after each ride (which you should do with any lube). This isn’t marketed as a wet lube, but I’ve been caught in the rain twice with it and it’s held up well. A little pricey, but I’m thinking I can go longer between applications, so it should even out compared to the cheaper stuff I used to use. Give it a shot. I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
Great Plant Based Lube Option
I ride typically in wet conditions and finding a lube that is effective, easy to use, and eco friendly is an absolute must. In my opinion hard to find a plant based product that is effective in keeping the chain moving smoothly and still sheds off all the grimy stuff that gets attached to the chain. With this lube, it was super easy to use, eco friendly, and kept my chain running smoothly.
Good for your chain, good for the environment
Being an avid outdoor recreationalist, I appreciate it when there is an option to use plant based lubricants verses petroleum based. After all, the environment is important to me. This plant based lube is doing what it's supposed to do thus far. It's been warm and dry for months now up here in the PNW, perfect conditions for this lubricant. My gears and cogs seem quite happy and are running smoothly under its care. When the rains do eventually return, however, I will likely need to use one of those petroleum based lubricants again.
Great eco-friendly wax that goes on easy; low dust
I have typically used petroleum-based lubes for my MTB chain so I was intrigued to see how a true wax, and a plant-based one at that, would perform. First impression when applying was how different the color and consistency of this mountainFLOW wax is compared to something petroleum-based; it comes out very milky, which has the benefit of helping you see where it's been applied. The instructions say to spin out the chain immediately and let dry for five minutes before removing excess, which is quicker and more straightforward than other lubes, which say an hour or more. Removing the excess was easy enough, and again aided by the milky color. The lube appeared to penetrate the chain rollers well and cling to the metal. I ride mainly dry-to-moist singletrack MTB trails in the southeast US and so far this wax has held up and does not attract dust or dirt at all after 3 rides - an improvement over petro-lubes, which can collect dust if not thoroughly wiped off. After a muddier ride, I lightly sprayed off some the drivetrain components with water only and wiped down, and the chain seems to be good to go still. Ultimately, time will tell how this product will hold up longevity-wise to a petroleum-based lube and how well it maintains chain life, but so far I am impressed. I certainly appreciate the plant-base of this product and am generally positive on the idea of chain waxes after trying mountainFLOW's product.
No more cleaning my drive train of sticky grime!
I like this wax. It doesn't cause sand and grit to stick to my drive train like many lubricants. I apply every 50-75 miles to keep my chain running smooth. No more deep cleaning sessions EVERY RIDE (like in the case of wet lubricant). My chain is always dry and clean now. I'm at 1300 miles and still running strong. I hope my chain can go at least 2000 miles before reaching the 0.5mm stretch point.
It's all that I use on my chains
My first chain on my Luna X1 lasted 800 miles with this on dry, dusty So. Cal. trails. The bottle seemed to last me about 1000 miles, so time for a new one.
