This product is miles better. I considered chain waxing however waxing doesn't work well in wet conditions and this product does. I live in a really rainy city, thus my chain and drivetrain picks up a lot of dirt off the road. It's takes a lot of abuse. Pros - No build up of black paste from road dirt. - Works well in wet conditions. - Easy to apply. - Dries quickly. Cons - really needs a good shake to mix up the contents. Mine even required a stir due to a build up at the top of the bottle. - Could be due to the cold but due to the build up mentioned above even after mixing and shaking for 10-15 mins when first applying gushed out due to the buildup requiring cleanup. However once I sorted this the product works incredibly well. I wouldn't avoid due to this. Maybe I should try warming this. - Would love further instructions on the website rather than "apply to all areas of chain". I understand covering the links is key however it's suggested you degrease the chain before, which I did.. so I'm not sure if I should be coating the outside of the chain too.

Chain is still ok, used a chain wear indicator and its dropping into the 0.75% wear. Think ive done about 700 miles on the chain so not sure if that good or bad. Seeing as a new chain is about Β£15 anyway. Would I recommend it now, not sure..... Update. Increased to 5 stars. Ran chain for 45 miles, then wiped clean and reapplied, then ran for another 40 miles. Chain is definitely quieter. Shifting doesn't seem affected, either for the better or worse. Hardly any dust/dirt on chain, although their is a residue, but a lot less than from oil. So far its been not been out in the rain, so can't comment on that. I've applied it now three times. Not sure how many applications are in the bottle, would guess about 30. So i'm going to leave it for about 200 miles and see what happens. Overall I would recommend it over oil, but it is a little bit more effort to use. But it does what is required, and if it increases the life of the chain its worth it. ------------------------------------- Bottle is half full, but there's a reason for this if you read the review. They really should put a note of that on the packaging, to stop people complaining and to explain the reason. OK my new chain that had been ridden for about 40 miles, so only had factory grease on it. Cleaned the chain, and decreased with white spirit, then cleaned with muc-off, rinsed and left to dry in sun for a few hours. Applied the lube, its a bit messy, but just put a few rags on your bike and you will be ok. Waiting 5 mins and it still felt slightly wet, and tacky. Left another 5 mins and then cleaned off excess with a rag. Went out on 45 miles ride, and it seemed quieter, but cant be sure. Shifting was ok. Checked chain when I got in and hardly any dust on it. Some grease residue, but that was probably because I could decrease it fully. If you look on the facebook page it does say to reapply for the first few rides to draw out the old oil and grease. Then you should only need to apply about 150-200 miles. Again why is this info not in the packaging.... So gave the chain a good wipe and re-applied the lube. Waited for 10mins and wiped down. Still felt slightly tacky, but will see on next ride. So for now i'm giving it 3 stars, this may go up or down depending on how it progresses. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tru Tension | BananaSlip Tungsten All Weather Lube | Road, Mountain & Race Bike Lubricant | Bicycle Tools & Accessories | 50ml - Tru Tension | PrimeShine Cycle Drivetrain Cleaner | No Hassle Road, Mountain & E-Bikes Cleaner | Bicycle Tools & Accessories | 500ml - GT85 Spray 400ml: Lubricates, Cleans & Protects Metal/Composite, Rust Defense, Stuck Parts Ease, Shine Restore, Squeak Eliminate, Moisture Disperse,packaging may vary --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/146284879-tru-tension-bananaslip-tungsten-all-weather-lube-road-mountain-race](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/146284879-tru-tension-bananaslip-tungsten-all-weather-lube-road-mountain-race) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
