Finish Line Ceramic WET Bicycle Chain Lube 32oz Quart Jug Review

Finish Line Ceramic WET Bicycle Chain Lube 32oz Quart Jug
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I heard great things about ceramic bearings on bikes and did not want to invest in them yet, so I decided to dive into the bike oils first! At first, I was debating whether to get the 32 ounce jug or a small 4 or 2 ounce squeeze bottle... well I got the jug and took the risk after reading about Finish Line's Ceramic Wet Lube (was debating between this and the wax). I was impress without a doubt!!
I noticed the first morning of my commute I was able to pedal faster... by a whole gear! It is definitely a smoother ride, though the blackness on the chain is a turn off (but it did not bother me with the boost in performance with my drive train)! Now I can't wait to use the Finish Lines Ceramic Grease for my crank and hubs and see what a difference ceramic will do!
Yes it is not cheap, but if you want the best performance and do not mind a blackened chain and a bit of grime, go for it!

KMC Z50 Bicycle Chain (7-Speed, 1/2 x 3/32-Inch, 116L, Black) Review

I installed this chain on my Trek 820 mountainbike on Feb 4 (2009); on May 28, I put my bike in the shop for occasional chain-skipping, especially on the 1st and 2nd chainrings. The shop expert told me the chain was stretched and couldn't believe it was only in use for a few months. Since I have other bikes, I logged less than 500 miles on this chain. Even though the price was very low, I don't think the chain is worth buying, given its short lifetime. Next time I'll spend $15-$20 and get a better quality chain; a stretched chain can quickly damage your chainrings - so think twice before buying the least expensive chain.

Shimano CN-HG53 9-Speed Chain, Silver/Black Review

Shimano CN-HG53 9-Speed Chain, Silver/Black

(More customer reviews)
This performs well and is a good replacement for Shimano 9 speed (rear cluster) systems. The end of the chain comes with a pin ready to drive home. It also comes with an extra Shimano connecting pin and instructions in several languages. You will need to shorten the chain to match the length of your old chain before installing. I recommend grinding the end of the special Shimano pin smooth after breaking off the pilot section, if you use it to connect the chain. I also found I needed to tighten the barrel adjuster just a little to compensate for cable stretch. While my old chain did not skip, the new chain skipped a little at first, but has been fine since tightening the cable a little.
Update: I replaced this chain after 1,900 miles. The Park wear indicator tool showed the minimal amount of wear for advisable replacement. That is the same number of miles I got from the original chain. (We have some fine dust on the roads that gets into the chain, even if you clean and lubricate it regularly. The performance during its life was flawless.
