The problem with White Lightening is the following:

1. The chain feels dry all the time --- Seriously, it seems like you always need to lub the chain when using this lubricant because once it drys, you find yourself putting more. I never feel that way when using gel type synthetic lub but WL is a totally different story. It's this drying factor that causes people to overuse the product on their drivetrain. If you put this on your rear wheel after each ride, I suspect your drivetain is loaded with gunk or you spend a lot of time cleaning. That's the problem with WL, you never feel the chain is lubricated after several days of non-use.

2. If it rains, you end up with a filthy rear wheel --- WhiteLightening if it's gunked on your drivetrain will leak all over your rear wheel in a rain storm.
