It is dryer then wd 40 and non greasy. It is good with water and stays on even in rain and puddles

Well, it's better than nothing.

I have a can of the Jig-a-Loo in my shed and use it to squirt on hinges, door locks, the odd squeaky wheel on my (wife) mower, etc. These types of items do not attain a high rate of...speed/spin like a bike chain does. So, if you use it, then you may have to apply quite often as it will disipate and breakdown quicker than its intended use on hinges and the like.

A 6oz bottle of Tri-flow at MEC costs $7.50. Lasts for several years...depending on how much you ride of course.
