Finish Line Dry Teflon Bicycle Chain Lube - An Honest Review
I've been using Finish Line Dry Teflon lube for as long as I can remember on all my bikes. It's become something of a staple in my garage, and for good reason. What I appreciate most about this lube is how it doesn't attract dirt and grime on my mountain bike trails. The formula goes on wet but dries to a wax-like film that keeps the chain running smoothly without becoming a magnet for trail dust. I've tried several other lubes over the years, but they typically resulted in that dreaded "black paste" forming on my drivetrain after just a few rides. With Finish Line Dry, I can get about 100 miles of riding before needing to reapply, which is pretty decent for a dry lube. In the summer months when trails are dusty, this stuff really shines - my chain stays remarkably clean compared to when I've used other products.I've found this lube to be surprisingly versatile. It works great on my kid's bike (which gets minimal maintenance but still needs to function properly). I've also used it on brake cable lines to keep them moving smoothly, and even for squeaky door hinges around the house. The small bottle is easy to store and lasts quite a while.One thing to note - the bottle opening is a bit wide, so it's easy to apply too much if you're not careful. I've learned to be gentle with the squeeze to avoid waste. I typically clean my chain first, apply the lube to each link while rotating the pedals backward, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe off the excess. This routine has served me well.Is it perfect? No. If you ride in wet conditions frequently, you'll need to reapply more often. And yes, there are fancier lubes on the market now with ceramic compounds and whatnot. But for everyday riding and maintenance, Finish Line Dry Teflon lube remains my go-to. It's affordable, effective, and doesn't complicate what should be a simple maintenance task.After all these years, I still haven't found a compelling reason to switch to anything else. For a reliable chain lube that keeps things running smoothly without creating a mess, this one's hard to beat.

Lubricant seems nice. Cap breaks easily.
The cap broke on this so that it won't seal shut. But the lubricant itself is nice, does not accumulate dirt, not gunky, seems to last decently well.

Good chain lube.
Great lube for between chain cleaning and full applications. This is a good price for the bottle and I use it in between the times when I reoil the chain after washing. It works well for lube. It is easy to apply with the little bottle nozzle. I do recommend it.

Good stuff
Been using this lube for years and it works well in dry conditions. Very dusty where I ride right now so I lune my chain before every single ride. Not so great in wet conditions but they make a lube specifically for that any ways.

The Finish Line Dry Bike Lubricant has been a total game-changer for my bike maintenance routine. It goes on clean and doesn’t attract the dirt and grime that other lubes tend to pick up, so my chain stays in great shape between rides. I love that it dries quickly and leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish, which helps keep everything running quietly and efficiently.This lube really holds up in dry conditions and even does well when I encounter a bit of dust or light rain. Application is easy, and I’ve noticed a real difference in the smoothness of my rides. If you’re looking for a lube that keeps your bike chain clean and running like a dream, this one is fantastic. Highly recommend for any cyclist looking for low-maintenance, high-performance chain care!

Works reasonably well....
Works about as well as Tri-Flow in my experience. Still seems to collect dust, grit, and dirt on the drive train. For winters, when trails are muddy and wet, this seems to work well. On road bikes, I've switched to hot waxing which is cleaner and significantly less maintenance time. For the gravel bike, I've switched from Tri-Flow to this Finish Line product, but the cleanliness of wax is calling, so I'll likely convert that, too. Will still be keeping a bottle of this lube in my toolbox for the luddites needing a lubricant for their chains. It stops the squeak!
