Premium Dry Teflon Lube

Dry Lubes are those that use a fluid to be applied, providing a self penetrating effect, that flows over surfaces and between parts.  The fluid then evaporates leaving the lube to do its job!  Finish Line Dry Teflon Lube was the first lube of this type; giving birth to a new lubrication technology.  It has become the best-selling dry-lube in the US bicycle world.

Advantage: A Dry-Lube does not attract dirt to the drive train components!  Ride through dusty, dirty conditions and the drive train will not turn into a destructive abrasive grinding paste between moving parts!

Disadvantage: Low Water Resistance, Eroding Off Quickly In Rainy, Or Water Submersion Conditions.

TIP: The night before a ride, apply dry lube and allow it to fully flow out and penetrate parts over a longer period of time before riding.

TIP: Pack A Small Can On The Bike During Cross Country, Touring, Trail Rides, Beach Rides, Anytime Water Submersion Is Expected Or Possible --- rain, streams, beaches, puddles, etc..

Extreme Premium Wet Lube

Wet Lube is a oily compound that is applied wet and stays wet through its service life.  Finish Lines Wet Lubricant features excellent water resistance, film strength and long-lasting performance.   Finish Line?s Wet Lubricant is regarded by many to be the best of the Wet Lubes.

Advantages: Excellent Water Resistance, Film Strength -  A Wet Lube will perform better in muddy, off-road conditions, do to its high resistance to water; floating-off mud and crud.

Disadvantage: Dry Dirt And Dust Mix And Is Held In Lube; Requiring Lube Changing. 

TIP: When planning to ride in dry, dusty conditions, always wipe down the outside of the chain, removing any excess lube to minimize the accumulation of dirt in the drive train.

   Premium Dry Wax Lube

Wax Lubes are great for those who avoid cleaning their chains.  Finish Line?s Wax lubricant is so dry, that when a pant leg rubs against it, it will not leave a stain.  When used properly, cleaning the chain will become a rare event.

The key is frequent application.  Each Wax Lube application actually cleans, flushes, and re-lubes the chain and drive chain.  The lube goes on wet, but dries to a dry, hard wax.  Dirt, dust and grime will not stick to a wax lube.  Contaminants that settle on the chain, are shed by the natural flaking action of the Wax Lube, or are easily flushed off during the next lube application.

Wax lubes have two disadvantages: first, Wax lubes require frequent application, every 50 to 150 miles depending upon conditions.  Second, they do not last long in rain, wet muddy conditions or through frequent deep stream crossings.

TIP: The night before the ride, apply dry lube and allow to fully set-up and dry.

TIP: Pack A Small Container On Every Ride.  A Small Saddle Bag, Or Frame Bag Is Perfect To Hold The Lube Along With Other Riding Essentials --- Bike Lock And Cable; Keys; Wallet.
