White Lightning Epic Ride All Conditions Light Bicycle

The White Lightning Epic Ride All Conditions spray lube simplifies my bike chain maintenance. I drive a Trek Dual Sport 3 on and off the road (mostly on) and like all bikes, the chain accumulates dirt. I degrease and lube the chain about every 150 miles (for me that's about every other week). I use mineral spirits on a paper towel as a degreaser to get most of the heavy junk off the chain surface and the chain shines. BUT, the rollers still need to be cleaned UNDERNEATH. This is probably the most important part of maintaining a bike chain and what I really like about this product: the spray version of White Lightning Epic Ride lube does a fabulous job here. I use it to loosen and wash away the grime that gets under/inside the rollers such that the outside of the chain (cleaned with the mineral spirits) and the rollers (washed out by the squirted force of the lube) delivers a very clean and lubricated chain. I let the lube drip for about an hour then wipe the excess with a paper towel and I am ready to go. I do this AFTER the ride as I want the excess lube to drip off and set up. For me that's about 24 hours prior to my next ride. The point here is that this product loosens, and washes away grime that I cannot otherwise access and it leaves behind the lube we all know our bikes need. Here are a few recommendations: Do not spray across the chain horizontally - it will blow lube all over the place. Instead, I hold the tip over the chain and use the thin plastic straw in the nozzle to gently squirt the lube downward (vertically) over the rollers as I slowly crank the pedals backward. I can actually see the grime being lifted and rinsed out and dripping off the rollers. I need to make only a single pass then let it set and wipe off the excess oil. My bike has disc brakes and any oil over spray (or oil slung off the chain) can get on the disc rotor and TOTALLY hose up the brakes. To prevent contaminating the disc brakes, I do not blast this stuff anywhere it is used on my bike; I sort of squirt it to let it wash quickly over each roller. I also place a sheet of thin cardboard BEHIND the chain (i.e. between the chain and the wheel) to avoid any lateral over spray (I use wooden clothes pins to attach the cardboard to the spokes on the rear wheel and dispose of the cardboard after every 2-3 uses - it's simple). I also hold paper towels UNDER the chain as I spray which catches most of the drips and I also put some rags under the bike. I just wanted to share some ideas as to how I use this product for my bike chain maintenance. I do not recommend blasting the stuff all over the cassette as is shown in the seller's video (because of the danger of spatter and over spray). It is a great product, does a great job for me, and as such I recommend it to anyone interested in good bike chain maintenance. Be safe and have fun.

Like many of you, I have tried a bunch of lubes in different types. Just to name a few off the top of my head: Rock n' Roll, ProGold, Finish Line, Dumond Tech, Squirt... also Clean Ride from White Lightning. All of them are good in one aspect but not in others. Epic Ride from White Lightning seems to strike a good balance of everything. I have done a few double centuries (200 mi) after applying this product - no sing of chain noise at the end of each ride. I usually just apply fresh lube and wipe off the excess, no special cleaning like some other lubes require, and clean my chain once every few hundred miles.One caveat: I ride in Northern California, so I don't see much heavy rain, although I had no problem riding ~100 miles in light but constant rain with this product.

Great chain lube ! Riding in wet muddy conditions and my chain was clean at the end. My friend uses it and is the reason why I bought some for myself. I used a different brand and we were out when it was super muddy. Once we got back to the truck my chain and my girlfriends chain was muddy and was caked big time. But.... my friends chain and cassett was super clean and looked new. This stuff works great !

This product claims to be "better" for wet rides but it does not last more than 35 miles in the rain. I applied this per the instructions and commuted to work and home in the (Seattle) rain about 17.5 miles each way. As soon as I started my next ride the chain began to squeak, ugh. I should have known better and bought a wet specific lube.Pros:Chain appears to be cleaner than normal (most of the lube probably wore off)Cons:Does not deliver all-weather versatilityNot more durable than waxPoor applicator design and attempting to apply one drop per link is very difficult, resulting in wasted lubeVery thin, even when shaken to ensure lube is mixed

I love this lube for my mountain bikes and gravel bike in dry conditions. I use this in the spring and fall here in Georgia, using a heavy wet live in the summer and winter when it’s wet. It keeps the drivetrain clean. To get the best results, you need to follow the directions, giving it time to set up after applying, then wiping the excess off before riding. You will be left with an ugly mess that doesn’t last long if you don’t. I’ve gone to buying this is the huge jug, and refilling the drip bottles, keeping one in my basement workshop and the back of my car.

Works very well and only leaves a bit of film on the chain when dry. The film is much less than Tri Flow, for example. To be sure, that film is actually helpful and partially the point of the lube, but it does often attract dirt and look nasty, quickly. Of course, that's also one of the points of semi dry lube, which is to know when to clean your chain again. I'm talking in circles here so I'll get to the point which is that this works, last a reasonable amount of time per use, and is obscenely cheap. Buy it, use it, enjoy.

This is way better than Tri-Flow, and my chain stays cleaner but the chain still accumulates grease and gunk--just not as fast. The trade-off for using a "dry" liquid is I have to lube my chain more often--as much as once per week depending on how much I ride. I also notice the bottle gets used up faster; this liquid is really thin, and it drips more liberally than a chain lube with petroleum content. I don't mind using it but I consider my search for an ideal lube for my urban riding environment to be a journey still in progress.

Opened my new bottle of Epic Ride. It has a child proof cap, supposedly to prevent accidental opening. The plastic ring that secures the top to the bottle broke off the first time I used it. Now I cannot take bottle with me on my rides as the cap will not stay on at all. Happy to update my review if the seller can exchange for new bottle.The product itself seems like a nice lightweight oil, just don't want oil leaking all over my bike bag.Thanks

Good all round lubricant that does the job it was made for

Product arrived half full with clear evidence that liquid had escaped and now having to send back. Not impressed at all and now looking at weeks of delay for refund/ replacement. Hoping seller can step in and just send me replacement as product defective and not sold as advertised.

Good lubricant, stay longer.

I love the whole White Litening rings

I've used epic ride as my primary lube for a while. I get 100km minimum out of each lube, even in wet conditions. Buy, use, forget. Buy, forrget to use and regret!
