Review by axlandergreat stuffby axlanderCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I've been using D-tech on my road bike and bikepacking rig for several years. It holds to the chain really well and lasts. I carry a small bottle for trips when I expect dry, gritty conditions.

Review by AnonymousDumonde Tech Lube by AnonymousGoes on easy. Solvent actually cleans the chain for you. After a simple wipe and roll of the crank and cogs you're done. Only drawback is the smell which reminds me of paint thinner and results in a headache but it quickly fades. Apply weekly for best results.

Review by AnonymousGreat Productby AnonymousOregonOnce you start using this chain lube you stop using others even when they are right in front of you. Chain is noticeably quieter and performs better. Also, collects less material that needs to be cleaned up.

Review by iammikeDOTorgLovely stuff and smells good too!by iammikeDOTorgCompetitive RacerPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.After decades of using the standard stuff, I found myself out of town and with limited options for lube. The local shop had this, I tried it, and fell in love. I use the green for everyday and dirty riding, and the yellow for bikes I know will stay clean. Lubes well, I definitely apply it less often than the other brands, and doesn't get too grimy or greasy. A little pricey, but the performance and that smell are well worth it.

Review by iammikeSimply the bestby iammikeCompetitive RacerPortland, OR0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I switched to Dumonde products on all of my bikes last year and haven't looked back. Green goes on anything that might get dirty or spend time in the wet, yellow on the dry bike. Lubes well, doesn't collect a lot of dirt, nice smell (yeah!), and cleans up nicely.

Review by AnonymousA different way to lubeby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastWillamette Valley, Oregon2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.If you read/watch Dumonde's recommendations for lube, it takes a bit of work at the beginning to strip off all the factory lube and then have the discipline to put one drop of lube on each link and don't lube again until the chain makes noise. Wiping it off each ride seems to bring an endless stream of dirt - where can the lube be? But the chain doesn't squeak. Although I haven't applied a second treatment yet, I can see that although this lube is pricey, it will cost less in the long run than some of the traditional wet or dry lubes.

Review by AnonymousGood Chain Lubeby Anonymous1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.The lube is pretty durable and sheds dirt about as well as any other lube. I�ve used the lite version on my road bike in generally dry conditions. I use the regular version on my gravel bike and cyclocross bike especially for wet and muddy conditions.

Review by AnonymousProbably the best around, but choose carefully between yellow and blueby AnonymousCompetitive RacerPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I have been cycling for 10+ years, racing for about 8 of those. For years I used the lite version of this lube. Treat it as a dry lube. That means if the directions are followed, your chain is going to stay clean(er), but it will be louder, which is usually the case with wax and dry lubes. IME they lubricate your chain, but expect some noise after a 50-60 mile ride (unless you overlube, which will result in a quieter ride but a pretty dirty chain and drivetrain). This has been true for all dry lubes I have used. I recently took a chance with the blue (original) and now, unless I am riding through actual sandy conditions or MTBing in a desert environment, probably won't go back to yellow. Using blue, the chain is much quieter (my biggest concern) and if you thoroughly clean your chain and apply the lube as instructed while doing regular follow-up wipes and re-lubes, your chain and drivetrain will also stay miraculously clean. Yes, the blue is stickier, but IMO it does not actually collect much grime so long as the lube is not left all over the outside of the chain (drop into the rollers and always wipe well) plus you have the added benefits of a much quieter drivetrain. After my first ride I wiped the chain again as well as the chainrings and everything is still pristine. I only have a couple of rides with the blue but I am loving the experience so far.
