Rating: Finish Line Ecotech Degreaser Review This is a degreaser for cleaning bike parts. It is made to be strong enough for dirty, grimy parts, yet gentle enough for plastic and rubber seals.

Rating: Finish Line Teflon Dry Lube Review This is a “dry” type of chain lube, which should be used in dry conditions. Made by Finish Line. Pros: It functions as a dry lube that doesn’t pick up extra dirt. Cons: It’s not bad, but I prefer other lubes. The problem was that I bought a […]

Rating: Shimano Hypospitt Oil Review This is a light oil from Shimano, and it comes in a neat needle applicator for precise applications. Pros: The small tube and needle applicator make this great for tight situations. I got this 2.5oz tube for 99 cents, so that’s a great deal. I have used this oil successfully […]

Pros: Anywhere you need a lube but grease won’t work, Phil’s tenacious oil comes to the rescue! Cons: It’s expensive. The Final Word As far as the […]

Rating: Pedro’s Bike Lust Review This is a polish specifically made by Pedro’s for your bike frame. Pros: Has special additives that make it good for bikes. And it does produce a nice shine on your frame. Cons: How can you really tell if this is any better than other stuff? It seems similar to […]

Rating: ProLink Chain Lube Review This is a dry chain lube containing a patented MFR (metal friction reducer) for enhanced performance. Pros: This is one of the best chain lubes in my opinion.
