Great stuff. It seems to have a penetrating oil base with lube particles in it. I was impressed with how long it stays on the chain. (In wet Oregon, mountain bike chains squeak after about half a ride with tri flow, about 3 rides with break free.) It doesn't seem to collect any more dirt than tri flow. Buy it in the squeeze bottle - its easy to put small amounts on chain side plates, derailers, etc without spraying it all over everything. Cheaper and you use less. Just remember to shake it up.
