Very informative video. I love it! One thing that could be still tested is how well does WD40 perform on the wear test after its solvents evaporate and just the oil is left behind. I have a feeling it's not as bad as shown in this video.

White Lightning is the same as Barbieri - and there are spare brushes on sale. But I've been using this tool for more than 10 years - and I still use the brushes that were included. Although when buying the tool, I immediately bought additional brushes. I use this tool both with kerosene and with detergents based on surfactants. Works great!

Really nice testing! Thanks.

what about WD-40 Specialist chain lube?

theory vs Praxis is always a bit different. u have to consider that wax doesn't has that much grime build up, which increases the longevity. But this is hard to measure. probably for people who clean their chain every ride wax got no benefit..buf maybe for lazy people who don't want to clean that often.

Thank you for all the impressive work you put into making this video.

I've not used all of these, but I've been very pleased with the Park Tool cleaner. It's built solidly and lasted me the longest of any cleaner i've owned.

Wow fast through and concise!🎉

No fenwicks? Best lube I've used

I just had surgery on my collarbone. I fell in my shower an my shouIder hit the back of my tub. I keep thinking this pain is never going away! Lol

Wd-40 is NOT a lubricant, it’s actually a solvent the exact opposite. I’m always surprised how many people don’t know this.

Hello Simply Mountain Biking, Thank you for your time and effort put into this video. This is by far the best bike chain lube video on KZfaq! New subscriber.

GREAT INFORMATION! 🙏🏼 thanks

So which lube is best ?

I tried cleaning my chain using a regular toothbrush and degreaser, definitely a messy and time consuming job. I'll be picking one of these up for sure

I do all that then try to inflate it and the air just comes out from the side of the tire and I use a compressor.

3 in 1?

What's the name of the tool you used on the valve?

Excellent work, and reporting! Great video editing to condense the info. Thank you!

Thank-you for your video, I wanted to find the best possible chain lube and watched quite a few videos then found yours, the best! Now I know what to buy! Thank-you very much for all the HOURS you put in making this video which will help out a lot of people!😉

Awesome video, project farm style.

I guess the results before he measured it each time, just by listening to the sound haha

Are you a scientist? This test was incredible. Can't imagine the effort to test all that.

Muc off dry lube is shit, I have used it for 1 year. Never again. The chain was dry as a pepper. First few km the lube is OK, then it dryes out and does damage to your chain. From now one I will use oil based lubricants

Science bitch!

Hello, Have you done any testing of Tri-Flow. I'm mainly interested in the wear test. I know it collects dirt so I only use it on my road bike and is nice and quiet. Finish Line Dry Ceramic is another one I'd be curious about on the wear test. Thanks and great work!

Aww, I really wanted to know how the super-cheap no-name poor-quality version that you didn't test worked out! 😁 In the 2 years since this video was made things have changed a bit, and I've seen generic (cloned) cleaners in blue or black plastic on sale for between £4 and £7, which is less than the cost of a set of replacement brushes for one of the better models on test. Cheap and nasty, yes, but mainly CHEAP. And you can get a set of [equally cheap and nasty] replacement brushes for under £2. Of course, that assumes that the cleaner itself will survive long enough to need them. The budget cleaners are apparently moulded from ABS, which is pretty tough stuff, so maybe they're worth a closer look. Whatever. People spend more than that on a box of disposable hand-wipes, so it's tempting to experiment with a dodgy cleaner and treat it almost like a consumable item. Work it to death and either swap the brushes or replace the whole thing a couple of times a year, perhaps?🤔

Thanks a lot for this review. It’s been so handy.

Any gun oil will perform the same if not better than your go to

Squirt.

Boeshield T-9

Your incredible, exactly

Pro tip: remove the valve core, put in 1/4 bottle of Flatout sealant with Kevlar, keep the screwdriver in the tire. Fill with air, pull the screwdriver from the tire and spin the wheel. Centrifugal force will fill that pin hole easy peasy.

Thank you! This is great and pure content. No B.S.

I would not consider using your top 2 recommended wax lubes due to them containing PTFE.

subbed just for the bean bag wheel bench

We can measure wear by a noise test lol.

Null and void you don't have Amsoil or Lucas,Royal Purple being the third of the boutique oils?

I was about to do it myself with a Hacksaw then realised that you need more precision tools especially to fine tune ...will just take to my local co-op bike workshop!!

I think you bought eight of the most popular chain lubricants, because just like many other channels on YT, you're intentionally or unwittingly an advertiser for the biking industry. I suggest you do a quick search and you'll discover hot waxing with plain old parrafin wax, with 1.6micron PTFE powder, is not only immensely superior to ANY manufactured lube, but doesn't cost anywhere near these intentionally overpriced products.

You forgot to insert new oring

Nice One. Thx for this very detailed test.

Awesome tests man

I always using "Singer" sewing machine lubricant 😅

Thx for sharing. I can share a story too. I broke my collar bone in Feb skiing. The hospital chose to put a figure of 8 strap on me rather than a sling. In the following 7 days after my break the arm on the broken side started to swell and a lot. I returned to hospital 3 days after the break and was told it was due to the trauma. After 7 days I went back and they kept me in. An ultrasound showed I had developed a DVT in my upper arm near the break. I had to stay in hospital for 7 days and was on an IV drip of blood thinners and pain relief. They never got to the bottom of why I had a DVT but the traumatologist suspected that it was the tightness of the 8 strap. I am slim and just 51 years old. No other injuries from the accident, I was told that with those factors the break defiantly did not cause the DVT and it was down to the strap. I have just finished 3 months of blood thinners so waiting to see if my arm starts swelling again. I have an appointment with the vascular surgeon in 3 weeks time. It doesn’t look they will operate on me but I have a sizeable lump where it broke about the size of a sprout. Not impressed at all and folks, avoid a figure of 8 strap. Go with a sling. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the informative video, I am completely new to tubeless tyres so can I ask how much sealant you use…? cheers

You basically didn't follow the instructions for using squirt lube.

Best chain cleaner, only water. Wax FTW!

Thank you!

Funny because there are other serious legitimate channels with tests showing Muc Off as the devil’s spawn and Squirt as vastly superior to pretty much everything bar Silca wax….
