But I started using Chain-L when I put a new chain on one of my bikes and thought, "why not try Chain-L on the new chain". So on one of the bikes I'm using Chain-L and will be watching to see how long it will last. Normally on this particular bike I get about 10 to 12,000 miles on a chain, and at my rate of riding plus riding other bikes it may take 5 years or so to get an accurate idea. So in order to that the best way I bought a Park CC2 chain checker, which I felt would give me a far more accurate reading then using the ruler method I used for 35 some odd years. So maybe I can get an idea earlier then that, not sure. But if the Chain-L continues to perform like it is, I may switch all my bikes over before the test is over on the one chain.
It does work well but you have to wipe the chain down after every ride. It smells just like chain saw oil.
