Question 2

How many uses will the 4 oz bottle last?

Accepted Answer

Actually, the guy that answered 75-100...is probably right. I have used this lube for many years. I was a competitive cyclist and runner (cycling:100-400 mile road bike races; running: marathons, mountain races, and 50-100 mile trail races). I'm about to return to heavy road bike races. My last year of competitive cycling was in 2015. The vast amount of my mileage was done during training, but in that year (training mileage plus races) I put in over 20,000 miles on road bike(s). Including that year and the previous 2 years...a total of 3 years...a 32oz. jug of this lube served me...and I cleaned and lubed my chain(s) daily.

The problem is (usually) that most people use more oil than is needed. You should clean or wipe down your chain and 'lightly' oil the chain...less than you would think. Then, you should lightly wipe off the chain (after re-oiling). The oil is for the rollers and in between the link (where metal of the links come in contact. The chain does not have to be smothered in oil. If the chain is smothered (in oil) or more oil (than necessary) is used...the result is a higher accumulation of road debris, dust, and dirt (on the chain) and the chain (and associated parts)...in that case...will run less smoothly...and experienced harder wear.

I road everyday...I commuted to work and back (27-30 miles round trip/5 days per week) in summer, spring, fall, and winter (rain, dry, snow, and ice...I did the same for training rides (year round) of 100-200 mile training rides. In 2015, when I did more than 20,000 miles...I was changes chains every 3-4 weeks...That is the other thing...never buy chain lube just because of advanced ceramic or polymer or other wear resistant particles. Through regular use...the links in a chain will stretch...and the best chain only lasts 9for proper use, shifting, staying in place without skipping, etc.) for 900-1200 miles...another reason why you should have a simple chain checker tool(that immediately tells you amount of chain stretch and when to change...cheap...less than $5).

During my heavy riding years, I cleaned and relubed my chain 7-10 times per week...on average 8-9 times per week. I did this over a period of 3 years (with a 32oz. jug of this lubricant). I properly lubed the chain and I do all my own bike maintenance 9of any kind). So, a 32oz jug of this oil lasted me an estimated (at minimum 8 times/week X 52 weeks X 3 years) 1,232 times (probably more)...and that was 32 ounces. At 4 ounces (32oz. divided by 8)...a 4 ounce bottle should last around 154 times!! Even if you are more liberal 9than necessary)...and use twice as much...then, that would be more than 77 times...Use way more than necessary and have to lube more often??...Then, it will still last a long time...

Remember this is coming from someone who put in 3-4X more mileage than the average road bike racer. Also, I ride a single speed setup of...a 54 tooth front chainring and a 11-12 tooth rear chain cog. Also, I ride a lot of hilles, too...and a variety of weather (year round)...I live in Columbus, Ohio. Also, I do all my bike maintenance...and refular check my chains for stretch and wear...
