Product Information
Full details
Finish Line Ceramic Tech Dry Chain Lube is designed for road and off-road cyclists seeking a clean-running drivetrain that resists grit and grime accumulation. By applying as a liquid and drying into a synthetic wax-like film, it provides exceptional lubrication and friction reduction while repelling moisture. While it offers excellent versatility for various riding conditions, users should note that its efficacy in extreme mud or torrential rain may be limited compared to heavy-duty wet-weather lubes.

FAQs
Can I use this for mountain biking?
Yes, it is excellent for dry and dusty off-road conditions as it resists picking up trail debris.
How often should I re-apply?
Every 100 miles or immediately after washing your bike or riding in rain.
Is it safe for carbon fiber components?
Yes, this lubricant is safe for use on all standard bicycle materials including carbon fiber, steel, and aluminum.
Can I mix this with other lubricants?
It is highly recommended to fully degrease your chain before switching to this lube to ensure the wax-like film bonds properly.
Why does the bottle look 'wet' even though it is a dry lube?
It applies as a liquid to ensure deep penetration into the chain links before the carrier solvent evaporates, leaving the dry film behind.
Can I use this on cables and derailleurs?
Yes, it is highly recommended for derailleurs, shifters, and cable pivot points.
Troubleshooting
Chain sounds noisy after a short ride
You may not have allowed enough time for the carrier solvent to evaporate; ensure you apply it at least several hours before riding.
Excessive black gunk building up
This usually indicates the chain was not fully degreased before the initial application; clean the drivetrain thoroughly and re-apply.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Does not attract abrasive grit or dirt
- Easy to clean from the drivetrain compared to wet lubes
- Versatile use across multiple bike components
- Provides a very smooth pedaling feel
Cons
- Requires more frequent application than heavy wet lubes
- Less effective in constant heavy rain or deep mud
- Must be applied to a clean chain for best results
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, start with a thoroughly clean and degreased chain. Apply a drop of the lubricant to each individual roller of the chain while back-pedaling to ensure it penetrates deep into the pins. Allow the lubricant to set for at least several hours—ideally overnight—before your first ride to ensure the solvent evaporates and the wax-like film fully forms. For maintenance, periodically wipe the chain with a dry cloth to remove any surface dust, and re-apply a light coat when the chain begins to sound dry or after riding in wet conditions.
