Muc Off Dry Lube (50-ml)

Doesnt accommodate dirt, squeaking went away

This lube itself works great, but the bottle it comes in is pretty lousy. I’ve bought 3 so far (I try to keep 1 in my car and one on my work stand) and 2 of them have broken in the exact same place prior to even using it on a bike- the applicator tip is much longer and skinnier than any other chain lube I’ve seen, and snaps off incredibly easily. The first one I ordered snapped off as I was taking it out of the packaging, the second I was more careful with and *so far* has survived a few uses, the third snapped off just from being lightly bumped during the first application. Once the tip breaks off you can’t twist the cap back on for storage nor can you apply the lube correctly. I’ve resorted to buying a small condiment bottle and filling it with the 2 full unused portions I can’t otherwise dispense because of these extremely brittle tips.

My go to chain lube.

No complaints. Dries fairly quick, no grime, guck or dirt stuck to components after MTB rides 95% in the dirt.

Awsome!

I was looking for a dry lube for summer riding: mountain bike trail riding in the Denver foothills. I watched a relatively scientific YouTube video on several dry lubes. Muck off came in “first.” I had a chance to use muck off for several months. My problem is that it doesn’t hold up for an extended ride. I had chain noise after a short 15 mile doubletrack/single track ride. I’m back to Tri-Flow.

Ok, my bad for falling for what I thought was an excellent independent YouTube test/review of this product. I actually thought Id discovered something that I needed to give a try. It took 2 rides to convince me that the characteristics of this product do not meet the requirements I expect, specifically those of the chain lube that has served me well for the last 20 years or so. Ive been riding MTBs since 1986, sometimes in the absolute worst conditions and I know what to expect from a chain lube. My reason for throwing this in the rainy day box of poor-performing bike bits is its rapid build-up, specifically around my derailleur pulleys. My process: once the lube is applied (not excessively) for a minimum of one chain revolution maybe two, I run the chain through a cloth to remove any excess lube and then do the same to the teeth and sides of both pulleys with the cloth sandwiched between my fingers. Been doing it this way forever, it works. The next ride I re-applied the Muc Off, ran the chain through the cloth as usual, and noticed the residue was a good deal more than expected. I then hit the pulleys with the cloth, where a bunch of residual build-up from the previous days application came off on the cloth with some of the bits falling onto the garage floor. No bueno. I then proceeded to dig the rest out of where it just doesnt belong. Pulleys are meant to run freely, not caked in-between the sides of the derailleur cage. Sorry guys, this stuffs just not for me. Maybe on that rainy day though...

Good for mi bike.

Gummed up my chain. Very difficult to clean. Went back to my old stuff and there was a noticable amount of free spin and quietness of the chain. Will not buy again.

GOOD PRODUCT
