Clever tagline, ne+ultra: You know they can never come up with a better product.
It should be 25% better, according to price. |

isnt the diff being biodegradable and not having a scent?
I dunno I just bought some NFS and its actually really nice. I have used it a bunch of times and it still looks full since you put only a few drops on it |

I dont make a habbit of sniffing my chain so the smell isnt a problem. I have the original stuff but am running low after a few years or so. Time for more.

Also last time I bought it they gave me a little travel size one, that alone will probably last for like 3 months or longer. |

I'm about to try the original NFS. Any suggestions for applying it the first time? I've seen folks say apply it sparingly. Any tips appreciated. Thx.

New, Shift small/small then I put 8-12 drops randomly around chain. Pedal backwards for a while then wipe off outer plates on the chain. Shift out of small/Small and wipe off cogs/chainring. Ride silently like a ninja. Dirty chain, clean it with OMS then apply like above. Maybe twice. Good to go. |

They say to follow the 12-12-12 method but silca says for the first time to do something else which I copy pasted bellow Working with the team at Friction Facts we have discovered that on a perfectly clean and dry chain, you need more than just the 12 drops in the 12-12-12 method. We are recommending one small drop per link for your first application with a solid 12 revolutions of the crank using a rag to wipe away the excess. After that, 12-12-12 is a perfect way to replenish your lube. From a noise and friction perspective, 12-12-12 every 300-400 miles with NFS is the equivalent of adding one drop per link every 200 miles with other wet lubes. ____________________ I did not put it on every link, I put 12 random drops then spinned the crank backwards a bunch and then wiped and its been working great. |

I don't care what anybody says. That's funny. Count me in as one who is not a chain sniffer and NFS user.

Back in the ChainL using days I recomended it to a guy. (ChainL is second best to NFS IMO) I gave a small sample to a guy who complained about the smell and the mess. He applied the whole bottle. No wonder it smelled.

The original NFS does have a slight petroleum odor which is no big whoop to me, but I can see where it might to someone keeping their bikes inside, close to living space. Hence the new formulation.
Apply it to a clean chain first time. I invert the bottle and put the tip on either the inside or outside plate with slight pressure until I can see a bead form. Then just hold it there and backpedal quickly through a couple of revs. You'll barely use just a few mLs. Repeat on the opposite plate. I usually let it sit overnight and then wipe down the side plates before I head out and I'm good to go. Wipe down again after every ride and that'll pretty much keep you going for a long while.
