NixFrixShun(tm) aka "NFS"
Ladies and Gents the wait is over. NixFrixShun is a over-the-top quality chainlube which is VERY quiet, long lasting and will work very well in all conditions.
Not like other lubes where most of the bottle is filled with solvents, NFS is 100% product. Each bottle contains approximately 10,000 miles worth of bicycle chain lubrication.
Owing to my past employment history I've got deep knowledge with high tech industrial lubricants. That and the never ending quest to find something that will last one week of commutes in all weather and actually does the job has been frustrating at best.
NFS is a no holds barred chain lube that will last for extended periods of riding and does a terrific job of lubricating the chain.
Basic instructions for use:
1. With your chain in the big ring and the smallest cog apply 8 to 10 drops of NFS at random and run the chain backwards to distribute the lube. A very good method is the 12:12:12 method. follow the instructions for chain position than add 12 random drops, rotate the chain 12 times than wipe it with a clean cotton cloth for 12 seconds.
2. The cogs will do the job of distributing the lube. Once all the lube has been distributed to the chain wipe any excess OFF the cog/chainring AND chain.
3. Done!

I tried NixFrixShun about a year ago after hearing about it from my cycling buddies (commuters and racers) in and around the DC area. As a bike enthusiast I'd been using Tri-Flow since I my BMX days in elementary school but I've now switched to NFS exclusively.

After 41 years of cycling this is the best chain lube I've ever used. Long lasting, doesn't wash off easily in rain and leaves the chain quiet, eerily quiet. Never used a lube that made the drivetrain so quiet. Great stuff.

You cannot get an easier drive train regimen then applying a few drops of NFS and wiping down the chain. My short term review is that it has helped quiet my drive train and make for smoother shifting. In the damp spring here in Buffalo, NY, NFS has been working great for me. Glad to have found a great product in this lube. Like others have noted, the guys making and promoting this product are good people. Thanks Josh!

Great lube that seems to run forever here in dry, dusty Colorado. The oil distributes itself very well, which is surprising given its viscosity. Yes, wiping the chain down is somewhat annoying, but depending on the conditions, you could probably get away with every few rides (hey, I'm a busy guy). This is my second order, the first of which lasted more than a year before a household move when my bottle misplaced itself. Overall great stuff, and even better customer service from NFS.

Been using NFS for about a year and a half...two bottle's worth. Works great, stays on, lasts forever. Coming off Triflow, this is a world of improvement. Thx Josh!

I followed the instructions on the website and used 8 drops for my tourer and 6 drops for my track bike. After a few rides on both I was convinced I'd never buy another brand of chain lube again.
I'm also a sucker for puns so 5 stars all around.

Impressive lube. Only need about 10-15 drops for the chain with a wipe afterwards. My drivetrain has never been so smooth and quiet while staying clean. Looking forward to logging some miles on the roads and trails near Boston this winter...

Developed by some pretty demanding cycling gurus, this stuff lives up to the hype. A few drops on the chain and all you have to do after that is wipe it down after every ride. Great stuff!

Super smooth and a little goes a very long way. Get some.
