I've been Boeshield on my chain and cables on my bikes for years. I've ridden my bikes in rain and snow and never had rust form anywhere where I used Boeshield. The chains wear slowly and shifting is smooth.
Review by Spencer
Ive used every lube out there. This lube is great, cleans and lubes well. I hit a chain with solvent then chase with T9
Review by Fiddler
I've tried a few different lubricants for my chains over the years, all of which worked fairly well. However, I have found T-9 to be the best one for my use, which consists of road riding for fun and for commuting. I don't encounter all that much dirt and gravel along my routes, but I still find that my chains can accumulate a lot of gunk quickly. What makes T-9 more effective is that it doesn't seem to attract dirt nearly as much and my chains stay running smoothly. As my headline suggests, I'm familiar with some of Boeing's other product offerings, and I always find them to be carefully engineered and the best of their kind. Enthusiastically recommended.

I used to use Prolink, and I've found this attracts less dirtgrime year round, so I prefer this brand now.

This product continues to perform. I've ridden for more than three decades and have tried numerous lubes. This is smooth and durable.
Review by Bikeaholic
I lubricate my chain with T9, but I do this every 150 miles or so. In the past, I used Dumonde Tech chain lube, but my chain got filthy after just a couple of rides. I prefer T9, but I need to apply this more often. It doesn't attract road grime the way Dumonde Tech does.

Used this stuff for 15 years. My go to. Tried others but just come back to this oil. Best for my needs. I do keep a dry lube around for some parts work but for the chain I mainly just use this oil.
Review by Richard
I have used T9 for the past 15 years on all of my drive train parts. The paraffin base helps keep dust from adhering to the chain which makes it easy to wipe off the chain after each ride.

I've been using Boeshield T9 lubricant for years! Chain runs smooth as butter without attracting tons of debris.

Only chain lube I use!
Review by DaveInMass
I�ve used a lot of different chain lubes, including how wax treatments. The hot wax is great, and your chain stays bright and shiny, but it�s a huge pain to degrease and treat a new chain, and a moderate pain to remove the chain and hot wax it again. Lubes like TriFlow work well but get black and grimy, and I won�t use lubes that have Teflon for the environment�s sake.
Boeshield T-9 goes on easily without removing the chain, lubes very well, lasts a long time, and your chain doesn�t get nearly so grimy and gunky as with the oiler lubes. It�s not as clean as hot wax, of course, but it�s *so* much more convenient. I still wash a new chain in naptha to get that heavy grease off before lubing with T-9, and that help too. (I also only put one drop of lube on each link and then remove as much as possible from the outside of the chain with some old terrycloth. You only need lube inside the link, not outside where it collects grit and dust.)

The Boeshield T9 Chain Lube is used to lube chain and cables. It resists water and dirt and keeps chain noise to a minimum. It is a great value and seems to reduce accumulation of dirt build up.
Review by Perfect balance cycling
Seems to work as described, good all around lube for wet or dry conditions. Very thin/watery but that should help it penetrate into the areas needed. Switched to this from "Chain Ice". Appears to work as well and not as sticky.
Review by Shamal
In 4 decades of serious cycling I've used an array of chain lubes. Boeshield T9 is works the best for me.
I got onto it abut 15yrs ago after always noticing how clean my buddy's drivetrain was whenever I was on his wheel. When I asked him about it, he said, "T9, man. It lubes great and doesn't get black goo all over like Tri-Flow"
i was tiring of constantly cleaning my chain with a plastic chain cleaning box and the mess it made. So I started using T9 and and never looked back. Now I NEVER clean my chain and my drivetrain components last
longer than they ever did before ! Reason being this stuff doesn't attract dirt easily. You simply put a drop on each link roller, then run your chain through a rag. You clean and lube the chain all in one swipe.
Because it has a slight wax base, you do get a little build-up on your cassette after many miles. But it sort of crumbles off easily by running an old spoke between the gears.
Quiet, clean drivetrain. Low maintenance. Long component life.........I like it !

Review by Methodical
My LBS recommended this lubricant for my chain and I'm glad he did. I've tried another brand of lubricant, but found that I had to clean the chain way too often as it got dirty pretty quickly. This product keeps the chain clean and squeaky free. Other rides ask how I keep my chain and cassette always looking new, they think I sneakingly polish those parts while they aren't looking. I am anal about keeping the chain and cassette (or as I sometimes refer to as sprockets) clean as I don't like them dirty and I don't like having to replace parts unnecessarily . It's easy to apply, After cleaning the chain with the Parks chain cleaner tool, I spin the chain backward slowly while adding a drop to each link, let it set a few hours and wipe the chain to remove any excess. The lubricant lasts a long time since you aren't cleaning and lubing all the time.
Highly recommended.
Review by Bent Rider
I have been using the T-9 chain oil for the last 15 years. I apply it, let it soak, then wipe off the excess with a rag, then wipe it again after a ride. Frequency depends on my ride schedule, but wiping the chain after each ride keeps the chain clean and shiny ... I never have to do a heavy/detailed cleaning.
Review by suds155
I only use this lube on my chain, use the other lubes i tried on all the other drive train parts. I like the way it applies, stays on and cleans up, most of all a quiet chain. Ia'm a fanatic about a clean, quiet chain, wipe chain, put this on each link, wipe next day, wipe down after every ride.

Long lasting and clean running! Nothing else compares!
