I have used this chain lube for years on all my bikes -- mountain, road, cyclocross. It's not sticky and is good for 100+ miles, depending on conditions. I've tried others, but always come back to this one.
Review by SDaggert
I've been using ProGold for many years, it's the best I've found. I'm averaging over 4k year mostly commuting. This is for a road and cyclocross bikes, typically reapplying every 200 miles or so... with doing this and keeping the chain fairly clean I average around 3.5k to 4k per chain (10 and 11 speed). This is in a dusty but dry environment (Phoenix). A little goes a long way, so don't go crazy and be sure to wipe the chain down after application - good stuff.
Review by serpentor
All around good lube that isn't too thick and doesn't make an obnoxious mess of my chain, especially if I'm good about giving it a proper wipe down. Sometimes I mix up triflo or dumonde tech heavy with this stuff when I want, well, a little more durability and a little less sticky. Maybe I just mix up snake oil, who knows?
Review by FFA rider
Been using this fluid for many years and like the easy way it flows into the links. Only needs about a monthly re-application as it tends to dry out over time. Also use it for other areas on the bike that require lube every once and a while.
Review by gravel rider
I'm new to the ProGold ProLink lube - I prefer a dry lube but was looking for something that would actually last in the dusty conditions where I liveride. ProGold is great - super light on the chain - and lasts for a couple rides - in full summer conditions on gravel roads.
Review by Dave
I'm new to ProGold lube. Previous user of finish line dry and tri-flow. ProGold is light and effective. I'm using it on a roadgravel bike in dry dusty conditions. It does not attract dirt (like tri-flow), it actually lasts for a hundred miles of riding (unlike finish line dry) and handles being hosed down after a ride without needing reapplication. It's my new favorite chain lube.

I have been using this product for the last 6 years on my road , mountain, and Tri bike. Never a problem with shifting or getting all gunked up.

I may have found my go to lubricant. I was using a different high quality product prior to trying ProLink, but I think this is the stuff I will stick with.

I've used this lube for years and it works great.

I've tried multiple lubes over the years but always go back to this one. It wears well and doesn't build up or leave a mess.
Review by Danin PA
I ordered this to try something else. The other lubes were good - very good - but no matter how diligent I was with application, wipe down, puddle avoidance, etc, my drive train turned black after two rides. My chains lasted (DA or Ultegra only, 3500-4500 miles), but it took constant attention, cleaning, wiping, re-application, and diligence.
I ordered ProGold ProLink, both Heavy Duty and Regular (HD is for my rain bike). I cleaned the drivetrain, let it dry, then applied in accordance with the directions.
The next morning I rolled out for a ride (mid-winter, lots of salt, cinders, and dirt) and rode 20. The drivetrain was quiet (good) and remained silver (VERY good). I rode the next week indoors (snow, ice, wind is unfun). Still clean. I rode 30 outdoors on Saturday - still clean.
This is the first lube I've used in over 30 years of road cycling that doesn't attract and hold dirt - it's amazing. It smells like kerosene (and that may be the secret) but I don't care. This stuff is GREAT, and I can highly recommend it! Just keep away from open flames while applying.

This is one of the best chain lubricants I've tried. Had bought many different ones but they would dry out fast. This is definitely worth the money.

Best cleanerlubricant I've used so far! I've tried quite a few to use in the rainy northwest, and ProLink seems to be the best in wet, dirty conditions.

This was not available at the local bike shops here, and I'd heard good things about it. I bike commute daily, and have tried many, and have to say this is turning out to be my favorite. Excellent lubrication, nor does it seem to cake up or collect a bunch of grime and dirt. My cassette and chain stay cleaner. This is not a super heavy oil, nor is it so light that it washes out with a couple of rains. Am very pleased.

I've used Prolink for the past 7 years and am very happy with how well it protects my chains. I get between 2000 miles and 4000 miles on an Ultegra chain in Northern California (mostly dry rides).

I've been using this for years and it's the best I've found. I use for a combination of cleaning and lubing and it excels. Especially good for those rainy winters.
Review by xj3
This is very dry lube. It actually cleans the chain while lubing it. I use this lube exclusively, and never had had any issues.

Teflon and Tri flow was not working for me. After a few rides the chain stated to make noises. A few drops of this and the noise is gone. I can focus on my riding again. The chain looks cleaner after my rides too.
Review by tracya
This is the best chain lube I've ever used, and I've used a lot through the years. It runs clean and the applicator bottle, unlike some, doesn't suck.
Review by JFR
ProGold Prolink is an excellent chain lube. Easy to use. Ordinarily good for several hundred dry miles if chain is kept clean between rides. May not be the lowest friction, but seems to do a good job balancing that and durability.
