"real world testing" followed by the fact their "all weather lube" was tested indoors, on a turbo trainer.

it did remind me I need some more finish line though, so thanks for that..

So why do they still waste money producing an inferior lube that is 30% worse? Just make the best product possible. I hate when companies do this.

WD40! No, not that shit that you use on your everyday household to loosen bolts or to shine your car. I'm talking about the WD40 Dry Chain Lube. It's cheap and it works - it really does! Better than any ethanol with wax blend crap.

My brother uses that trash, the end of every ride his chain is howling and he lubes it right before he hops on the bike. If he doesn't do a pre-ride lube the chain hangs up in the derailleur. More for you.

I won’t buy it. The original was the worst chain lube I had ever bought. A bit of rain and it washed off. It attracted so much dirt too. I use Smoove now and really rate it.

Been using the Peaty’s all weather chain lube this season and am pretty happy , it REALLY does clean the chain super good… But be prepared to blow a whole pack of tissues on wiping old gunk off if you put it on even a slightly dirty chain. It actually is so efficient in removing the old crap that it works better than many degreasers that I have used.

You should never use a degreaser on your chain. Any chain lube with a degreasing agent is actually going to wear your chain out faster, because it's penetrating the bushings, and replacing the lube that's in there with new lube that's been contaminated by the gunk that's come off the surfaces. What you SHOULD do is wipe your chain down with a clean rag after riding (Or warm soapy water if it's really dirty) and then just before you ride you should wipe again and apply a very small amount of heavy chain lube, then wipe one last time, ride, and repeat. I like Finish Line wet lube personally, but really the more viscous the better. Some mechanics I know swear by Tenacious Oil, but that stuff really requires serious cleanup.

Sample size of one. No-ones going to see through that. Call it 30%.
OTOH Perhaps it is better than "NEW!"

So with their lubes, my chain will wear out in 500 miles - that feels a bit on the low side or am I wrong?

I think the articles claims that it is a single application of lube that lasts 500 miles. Not sure how someone would measure how long a lube lasts though. I personally just lube regularly to avoid having lubed to little especially as I don't always know how wet my rides will be. Which implies super long lasting lubes are probably wasted on me. On the road and on a turbo trainer in particular it is probably easier to anticipate.
