My chain is quiet, clean, and I have smooth shifting. I don't get my leg dirty when I touch it. This seems better than Pedros and White Lighning.
The spray bottle allows one to place the lube along the pins rather than dropping it on top of the chain. It seems more efficient.
"Uncle Al" Artizone of [...] says it is all he uses.

Please note: I am reviewing this from Colorado, where trails are mostly dusty and the climate is dry!
After one year of use, I am still amazed at how well this product works. No more dust residue buildup, shifting is always snappy, chain looks as good as new! Just for the record, I tend to clean and re-lube my chain every 5-7 rides. I've tried several other brands in the last few years (Pedro's, Teflon, White Lightning, and pretty much all that comes to mind) and *none* even come close to this. Very highly recommended.

ProGold Prolink is a fine lube. Shifting is smooth. It dries nicely on the chain overnight. And it does not blacken or attract road dirt. The only negative is that it is a tad messy to apply.

Lubricates great, but if you keep your bikes in the house or next to your living area be aware of the strong smell. I couldn't so I returned it although it provided great lubrication.

I have been using prolink for a number of years, and it is a really great chain oil. I use expensive and lightweight chains on my TRI bikes, and lube them frequently, so use up a lot of 4 ounce bottles in short order. To try and economize I ordered a 32 ounce container, which turned out to be a mistake.

The container opening is not drip proof. It is such a poor container, that the oil wicks over the lip and flows down the outsdide of the bottle and flows off the container bottom while you are pouring. A LOT!!! Even over a wide mouth funnel, there is going to be a mess to clean up afterwards. It is impossible to pour into anything from a Park chain lube tool to a smaller Prolink squeeze bottle container. I tried contacting ProLink about the problem to see if they had any suggestions, but their contact link on their web site has been dead for the last month.

My suggestion would be to buy the 16oz spray bottle - you won't gain any meaningful economy, but you won't end up with 10% of the product on the outsdide of the container.

I've used this product for about five years and my only complaint is that it costs to much. The 16 oz pump spray goes a long way towards solving that. Keep a couple of the smaller bottles around to refill.

Use this on my road bike regularly.
I transfer (pour) the contents to a Tri-flow squeeze bottle so I can drip it directly onto chain.

The is what all of our local bike mechanics recommend and what I used for cross country ride this year.

Simple to use, no more degreasing just put more on give it 20 minutes and wipe off the excess. It cleans and lubes. Handy to use, buy the big bottle to save money but save some small bottles they are handy to carry and easier to use.

The kicker is, after each time you lube you gear train is so smooth and quiet. I gave a bottle to the mechanic on the cross country ride to use on my bike and he was amazed at how well it worked. I left the big bottle with him at end of ride because he was hooked.

ProLink makes the best lube on the market. Easy to apply and stays where it should. The only chain lube I will use.

way more then what i need. Unless you are in the shop doing many bikes this bottle will last me a life time. The bottle also stinks after it opened.
