Dumond Tech lube has impressed me

Using Dumond Tech lube on my chain and have one 350 miles without need to relube, although I will be doing so in a few days as part of regular maintenance window. I also mixed a small amount with some Phil Wood grease to lube he jockey wheels. Very impressed with the product.

Are you using original or lite? I've been using the lite for a few years, it seems to work really well. Outlasts others that I've tried and get good chain life.

Using Lite. Never used a lube that has performed this well. Even waxing the chain is not nearly as good as this. Smoother, quieter, and very long lasting.

My homebrew hot wax blend lasts 500+ miles between dips. And nothing ever need be cleaned.

I've been using Dumond Tech Lite for years, great stuff. I never have to clean my chains as it cleans and lubes at the same time. I put it on every 200-300 miles or so, a small amount on each link then wipe all excess off.
A local bike shop owner once told me "I should stop selling it, it's so good I'm sure I'd sell more parts iif nobody used it."

Only dessicated Sperm whale oil can be used on bicycle chains! But its dicey, because you have to go on the dark web to source it.

Exactly. This has been determined a long time ago.

Just did a tune up on the bike last night and cleaned/lubed the drive train. Truly is amazing how well this stuff works, especially when fresh. If you have not tried it, do so and I believe you will agree. Be certain to thoroughly clean the chain and sprockets to get optimum results.

Yep, I like Dumond Tech, too. I mix the Lite and Regular, 2/3 light to 1/3 regular.

Any comparisons with Rock n Roll Gold? That's what i use, but only because the LBS said it was good.
