Dumonde Tech Lite Lube
I recently put on a new chain, well 2, for the recumbent. I cleaned factory lube out of the chains, then installed them and used Dumonde Tech Lite lube. I am trying it out, 'til now I have been a Pro Link Gold fan. Well, this really is nice lube. The chain is incredibly quiet and smooth. Shifts really well. It's easy to clean the chain at relube time. I like iit.
The only problem; the really foul chemical reek you have to live with until the lube dries. My garage stinks. It might make buying a second bottle pretty tough, when the time comes. Back to Pro Link? Hmmm, we'll see. bk

The factory lube on a new chain is should be left alone, that being said, you will like the Dumonde Tech stuff.
I have been "experimenting" with it now for the last 2 years. Yellow in the summer and green in the winter. Only stuff I have been using, and have reordered several times, just wish in came in bottles bigger than 4oz. I even tried the eco-green stuff for the beach house.
Hey all lubes smell a bit, not much you can do about that.
Dumonde = Good stuff.

I like DuMonde Tech. Use the Lite in winter, original in summer. I like the direction from the Rock and Roll lube site. Use until wet and run chain backwards, wiping and cleaning. I just wish I could get it in larger quantities, or find a cheaper thin lube to use during the cleaning process, then finish with the Dumonde
It does have a strong, distinct smell, but I don't mind it. Much more tolerable than cheap perfume.
