Amazon.com Product Description
Offered in a convenient 4-ounce squeeze bottle, the Finish Line DRY Teflon Bicycle Chain Lube is the bicycle industry's original "dry" lubricant. Made with Teflon fluoropolymer and specialized synthetic oils, this lube is designed to run silky smooth and provide excellent durability. The lube goes on wet, but then sets up in a dry, paste-like film that won't attract or absorb grit and grime. Perfect for on or off-road riding, the DRY lube works well in dry, dirty, and dusty conditions while still providing adequate wet weather performance. The lube also holds up to extreme pressures and resists water wash-off. A versatile all-weather chain lubricant, DRY also works great for use on derailleurs, brakes, and shifter pivots.

 The one all purpose, all season bike lube--plus a bit of how to apply lube to your drivechain. August 1, 2007

I've tried wax based lubes, wet, dry, winter, you name it, and always end up coming back to teflon dry lube--specifically this one.
The only other lube I've tried that I would maybe use again is Cross-Country lube of the same brand, and only for really harsh weather conditions, because it stays on the chain a lot longer in a major downpour--so I don't have to relube a wet chain or suffer the fact that other lubes will wash out. Even in those circumstances though, the teflon lube holds up rather well.
Winter lubes don't thicken as easily at low temperatures, but teflon doesn't get the least bit sticky anyway.
Totally clean, and it does a nice job of flushing grime out of the individual links when applied.
To apply this lube most of the time, shift your chain to the largest chainring in the front and smallest cog in the back, run your chain through a rag to get the bulk of the grit and grime off (or use Lysol kitchen degreaser wet wipes), then apply one drop per link--starting and ending at the 'end pin' which is the one that looks different from the rest.
I typically don't lube the cogs and don't recommend anyone do so. It's a giant waste and it overlubes the drivechain. Instead, apply one drop to each link, then run the bike through all its gears so it gets a touch of lube on each tooth, just to prevent rusting and excess wear.
If you use the spray on version of this or any lube, apply, wait 20 minutes, then wipe off the excess by running the chain through a rag.
I typically apply lube every 100 kilometers (or 62 miles). I don't do it during rides, just try to remember to do it sometime in the proximity of that distance.
Works well, stops my chain problems for a while April 3, 2010

I'm a newbie when it comes to bike maintenance. I recently bought a decent bike and was determined to take care of it. The bike had some shifting issues and the chain would slip every few rotations. The chain itself had a few joints that were stuck and causing the slips. By manually flexing them and just adding this lube (before I had a chain tool) I managed to stop the chain problems and have a nice smooth ride. After a few rides through heavy rain the chain started slipping again. A full cleaning and reapplication of this lube and the chain has performed well for a few weeks now even with the bad chain.
No noticeable build-up of dirt etc. on the chain yet after 100 or so miles, although when I did the initial cleaning I notice theres a lot of black stuff coming off the chain, likely residue of the teflon and metal but I can't be sure. I wipe off the excess lube after I'm done applying this so the bike stays fairly clean.
So far, I have no complaints about this product. It does what its meant for. I'm going to take care of this bike and it should serve me well for a long time.
Same as LBS or REI May 17, 2010

Nothing much to say. This is the lube you get at your LBS or REI. Amazon had a better price for me. It works for me better than the wax based chain lubes which I have tried. I switched to a wax based lube for a while, but I heard noises from the chain which vanished when I went back to this stuff. I've used it for years and years and will likely just stay with it forever now.
I've been using this for 4 years January 5, 2009

I really like this stuff...the previous review did a great job on how to lube ones drive train.
I decided to get this for my girlfriend's dad after working on his bike over the weekend. it is a road bike and he originally used oil and the chain was so nasty and full of gunk and oil gunk. I decided to get him this because it works well and does not gunk up like oil.
Lubes great March 16, 2010
