There are concerns about the nozzle failing and a little spray on wheels, but overall, satisfaction remains high. Customers have reported impressive chain longevity and smoother rides, making it a preferred choice for many seasons and conditions.
Seems to be very good, first time using this bland. Not too sticky and very little fling off as long as you don't use too much.
I like this product best of all the chain lube I've tried. Not too sticky so not too much dirt collection. Lasts the 200 miles recommend for relubes on my bike. Just spray it on and leave to dry. It does flick around a bit but I suspect if I could be bothered to blow off the excess, that wouldn't happen. Plenty of applications per can too which is not always the case with other brands
Goes on easily, doesn’t fling off and also doesn’t make the chain collect grit and rubbish. Good price would buy again
A tad on the expensive side but very good minimal fling protective film is left on the chain my go to chain lube
Excellent product. I’ve only used it a couple of times but it goes on easily, doesn’t drip too much during application and doesn’t fling off the chain. XCP products are generally my go-to and this is yet another of their products that does a great job.
Seems to work well, doesn't attract dirt/dust or gunk.
Been using this for a while now with no problems. Chains stay lubricated and there isnt much if any fling which is a bonus
Tried this over the winter, goes on very easily and doesn't fling much (once left for a while). So far quite pleased with the product.
I bought this on the back of watching the Bennetts Bike Social test of lubes on YouTube. My chain hasn't required much adjustment, so it must be keeping it lubed. It doesn't attract muck, so the chain looks clean. I apply sparingly and quite often and there isn't much fling on my rear wheel.
Seems to keep the fling off down more than some others, dries clear and does drip off much during application. Used in dry and wet weather and seems to do the job.
Watch a review on YouTube about this xcp been using it for about 3 years now it is very good hardly any fling off it and is easy to use just got two tins for next season for me and my girlfriend bike try it ... plus you can use it on more than just your bike.
Good chain lube, don't need to use much, didn't leave any residue or spray back from what I could tell
I started using this chain spray a couple of years ago, and now would use any other, great cling, no fling, penetrates right into your links so well you can t see it, I oil my chain every fortnight and had no problems, Brilliant product, ps try their rust preventer !!
Easy to apply. Some fling, but very little. Easy to clean, doesn't seem to attract dirt like some chain lubes do. Keeps the chain in great condition
Use this on lubing my bike chain, seems to last and don’t notice any fling on my tyres
Decent lube that won't fling off easily.
Lubricates very well, minimal fling, only required weekly in the summer and mid-week as well in the winter, and I do 10-12000 a year.
My usual brand of chain lube is getting expensive and as I ride a lot and keep my bikes well maintained I was spending a lot on chain lube. I’d seen a test by Bennetts BikeSocial that rated this lube really highly and as it’s almost half the price of my previous chain lube I thought I’d try it. I’ve now done over 1,000 miles using this lube and I’m really impressed. I’m converted! It goes on well and keeps the chains well lubed. I do find it’s best sat overnight before using the bikes as it is quite wet when applied and will drip if you apply too much. If you let it sit overnight I don’t get any fling-off. It looks good on the chain too - it’s clear and the rollers spin freely in the chain when it’s used. This is now my go too chain lube.
After taking the trouble to clean the chain thoroughly (XCP Universal Parts Cleaner recommended) you want a lubricant that will work to maintain the chain. Apply XCP Chain Lubricant sparingly and evenly to the clean chain, and ensure that excess liquid is wiped off. Ideally the chain will also be warm. Due to the excellent penetration and flow properties of XCP Chain Lubricant, be aware that a little goes a long way. Over applying will only lubricate your garage floor! Rotate the wheel to assist flow and penetration into links and sprockets. For best results leave overnight before use.
Due to the non-sticky nature of XPC Chain Lubricant you will find that cleaning the chain will get much easier as time goes on. Unlike other chain lubes, XCP Chain Lubricant dries to a non-sticky film that will not attract and retain dirt to the same extent as other lubes do. Keep using XCP Chain Lubricant and you will find chain cleaning will become much easier when maintenance time comes around.
