Advice & Guides Drive chain needing a bit of love? Here's how we do it...

Customers generally find the XCP chain lube to be an excellent product. It provides effective lubrication and protection, keeping chains smooth and relatively clean with minimal fling. While it isn’t a dry lube, it attracts less dirt compared to some alternatives. Customers appreciate that it prevents rust and prolongs chain life, with some noting a quieter, smoother ride. Despite minor issues like occasional spray nozzle failures, they appreciate its effectiveness and longevity, making it a popular choice for all-year use.
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.
Bit of flick off when applied but leaves a film on the chain
Nozzle gums up and stops spraying. Keep having to soak in cleaner. Never had this with Castrol lubes
I bought a can of this to try after watching a review on Bennetts Bike Social who rated it very highly. It’s really good. A nice clear liquid goes on well, minimal fling and lasts well. The chain still felt lubed and looked good after a couple of very wet rides. It’s a great price too. I’ll definitely be buying it again.
It lubricated my chain in a professional way. 10/10. Repeat purchase of this item.
Easy application with the supplied nozzle with bike on centre stand and appears to stick to the chain very well without a great deal of fling onto the wheel.
Serves my need just fine.
A good product still getting a handle on how to use this but the lube holds well coast evenly on the chain some drips when I’ve coated to heavy
This is a thin lube so bear that in mind as it will require reapplying more often than chain wax or something like SDOC100. Leaves a nice finish no gungy waxy finish like you get with dry lubes. It also resists corrosion well in winter. My chain is 20k miles old now and still going strong.
Does what it says on the can.
Only issue is miser straw length supplied so I just used one from another aerosol can to apply more accurately
Well priced product seems to have reasonable oil throw but I have not tried others to compare. Longer nozzle would help. Well worth giving it a try I would say. Ordered from Sorts bike in Norwich and delivery was spot on.
Just what I was looking for, easy to apply and looks good
It lubés the chain.
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.
Yes, this is suitable for O, X and Z ring chains.
