Tri-Flow TF0021060 Superior Lubricant Drip Bottle- 6 oz

This is, I think, the best product for your mountain bike. A noticeable performance improvement is worth leaving a review. Lube chain, wipe off excess with paper towel and zoom. I recommend.

In this modern age there're ONLY a hand full of lubricants worthy of your consideration for just about anything that needs penetrating oil, a corrosion and rust inhibitor, does not attract dust and moisture, leaves a lubricating film when evaporated, does not turn to a varnish like mess when it dries, exceeds all other oils in temperature range use from -55F to 300+F degrees, and they are the synthetic oils. I'll mention three of the best and of the more common in this review. They are: Birchwood-Casey Gun Oil, Tri-flow, and Loctite's Super Lube with PTFE. When comparing synthetic oils and greases that contain (PTFE PolyTetraFluoroEthylene or Teflon) there is no comparison with the regular fossil, mineral, or vegetable all purpose oils because synthetic oils are much better by far. Yes, they're more expensive, but they'll out perform and out last ALL natural base oils. Synthetic oils are not the oils grandpah swore by, and as the knowledge he handed down generationally. All you have to do to believe that statement is to see what the pros use now for extreme environment conditions for guns, fishing, racing and other extreme sport's that require lubrication for their mechanical equipment, and then not having to worry about rust, corrosion, failure, and other nasty things when placed back into storage. Also, more and more companies are recommending synthetic oils with PTFE for their products such as 2,000 dollar deep sea reels and other high value equipment. They work great for a squeaky door hinge to 1,000+ dollar bicycles for the chain, sprockets, shift and brake lever cables because synthetic lubes are best, and they don't attract dirt and moisture, nor gum things up which would make smooth shifting difficult. These products also are made as a light grease too if you need a thicker viscosity that leans towards anti-thixotropic behavior. In many instances just a few drops or dabs is all that's needed. They're available in drop by drop bottles, pour bottles for personal needs, spray cans, and grease form in cans or squeeze tubes. If you believe that natural oils are better, then your head is in the 19th century. Not only do I recommend these products, I cannot emphasize their importance enough. Treat yourself to one of these synthetic oils with PTFE, and you'll never go back to grandpah's general purpose lube oils again, and that's a good thing because today's devices require better and tougher lubrication due to higher load conditions, temperature extremes, and the exotic metals used today.

Just what I needed

Love this stuff. Here's why: I was introduced to Tri Flow inadvertently when I took a motorhome down to a local locksmith's shop to get some duplicates made of a non-standard barrel key. Because this RV is used out at the sand dunes and in the desert the locks get all kinds of sand/dust, etc in them and get very hard to turn. So I asked the locksmith what he recommended for a fix and/or for preventative maintenance and he showed me an aerosol can of Tri Flow. He said that's what professionals use to lubricate locks to prevent them from sticking as well as to fix locks that were difficult to turn or already stuck. To be honest, the price was a little higher than I wanted to pay but the pain and frustration of dealing with problematic locks was higher than the pain of paying a premium for some "miracle" lube so I took the professionals recommendation and purchased a can in hopes for some kind of cure-all. HALLELUJAH!! Let the heavenly choirs sing! I took this stuff home and used it on all the RV locks and wow, what a difference that stuff made. What used to be an exercise in frustration (trying to turn all those stiff locks) turned into just another standard routine. I'm not dialed in to all the science behind it and my biggest fear was making a wet, gooey mess of the dirt already in the locks turned into an unjustified fear. This stuff works great. Off the top of my head, I've recently used this stuff for the following purposes with excellent results every time: -Lubricated my Leatherman multi-tool. The pliers were starting to stick and opening/closing the various tools was getting way too difficult. Works so much better now and as a side benefit I'm not cracking my nails in half trying to open up implements. -Crescent wrench was sticking. Not anymore. -Spring assisted pocket knife now glides open like butter. -Put some oil on my Milwaukee hole saw to lube it and prevent too much wear while I cut a 1" hold in some angle iron. -RV locks -RV door handle that took a body builder to open can now be opened by my 5 year old son. -RV gate padlock that would hardly accept a key due to all the dust that had accumulated in it. -Squeaky hinges on the interior doors of my house. -Side mounted tank lever on my Toto toilet wouldn't return to the home position after flushing. Applied some Tri Flow and it's working again. -Interior door levers that were sticking Highly recommend. Purchased this drip bottle when my aerosol can started running low.

Super product especially for plastic and nylon parts lubricant!

It works really well. I removed one star because despite the great working, it is a bit of a solvent(but you may want that) and it does say it is formulated with PTFE, meaning it is a bottle of forever chemicals

Buy it. Use it on anything that you want to operate quietly and perform optimally. Spray is best for tight areas, dropper is best for larger areas. A drop is all you need.

Excellent lubricant !!

Buena lubricación húmeda. Dura bastante antes de "secarse". Aunque este año no ha llovido suficiente para probar qué tan fácil se lava al rodar con lluvia y charcos. El desgaste de la cadena ha sido el esperado para el uso y cantidad de mantenimiento y lubricante que empleo, por lo que se infiere que hace bien su trabajo. Como bonus, el olor no es desagradable.

I had read it was better than other lubricants for using in car ignition systems and moving parts- in my case to help when a key is getting stuck--and Yes, it really works well and helps the key to slip into the barrel. I would recommend, very easy to use with ultra thin pipe fitting in the nozzle.

Made in USA

La TriFlow est le meilleur lubrifiant que je connaisse. Elle est fluide mais pas trop. L'odeur est assez forte mais se dissipe vite. Elle ne colle pas en vieillissant. Attention c'est un très petit flacon de 59 ml mais le doseur est pratique.
