Jim,
Dang, I recognize that bottle it was one of the really early 1 oz bottles BEFORE Matt created the new stickers and it lasted THAT long?!!!
You just earned yourself a free refill. Come on down.

Mohican 100 Mile MTB race. Started as a mud fest (with some doing full on bike washing at aid station 2), ended in a dust bowl. I was aked at aid station 3 if I needed lube, mech looked down and said 'wow, best looking chain I've seen all day!' Nary a peep from the chain all day, bike so quiet I realized I need a new BB.

Mad love Shoogs. Close the books. After hearing this from you and Turkish ,who by the by are certainly in contention for stressing NFS the most, I'm feeling really good about the product.
What NFS needs now is some attention from the magazines and e-pubs.
LOL Just wait until you see the (unnamed) Beta product. It's just as good and 100% different from anything you've used before.
LOOOOOOOVVVVEEEE this stuff.
haven't used my chain cleaner since switching 9 months ago (one new chain swap since).
just follow the instructions, ride, wipe, repeat, reapply, wipe, ride, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.
(and measure the chin once a month)
I'm obsessive about a quiet bike, and this stuff is fantastic.
AMAZING.
I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon here. I've told customers (and meant it) for years that I don't care what they use on their chain as long as they keep it clean and don't over apply.
This changes that. NFS is meaningfully better at keeping the chain silent and smooth shifting than any other product I've tried.
WHEN CAN I STOCK IT??
Last week I spent 2 days mountain biking in the sand and rain down in DuPont/Brevard. My bike basically needs a full tear-down/rebuild at this point. BTW, never heard a single squeak outta my chain baybee!

I know an endorsement from a 63 year old poser won't mean much but all the guys iI ride with keep asking why my chain and cassett are always so clean and quiet. I finally shared with them and now I am almost out. Great for us weekend warriors!

Applied as directed to my mtb (singlespeed if that matters) and gravel bike chains. The silence of the drivetrain allowed me to enjoy the crystalline subtleties of nature's music box. This weekend she happened to be playing the Blue Danube. Trail conditions were perfect tacky, so no testing in the dusty stuff yet. (If only I could safely apply this to my BB7 rotors...) Which brings me to a good point: having a silent drivetrain also helped me tune in to a squeaky Eggbeater and creaky saddle rails that are now tended to that I otherwise might have just lived with. The second bottle I bought as a gift might just not get gifted. Great stuff!
NFS bottles marching out of the world headquarters.
Hey!!! All orders rec'd last week ship Monday including the shop order yo. NFS is on a few VERY select retail shelves, three to be exact. If you want your local shop to carry it have them drop me a line.
PS - Dopers Suck.
Gave two of my bottles to my finer friends. They will give the lube a proper rogering as well.
Recent shops stocking NFS include Mike Butchko's "The Bicycle Place" The Bicycle Place . Mike has been in the game for over 30 years and I personally appreciate his involvement with community and excellent bike fits.

Also, Steven LeBoyer (formerly ran the Serotta Fit School) Savile Road | The Tailored Bicycle is stocking NFS.
Folks, if you live near one of these shops you save shipping $$ and if you don't than consider getting your LBS to stock it and earn yourself a free bottle of NFS. We are not above simple bribery ;)
Okay, so I asked about my shop stocking this a few months ago, and was told point blank "no way, direct only". So... What, a dozen donuts?
Inspired Ride Bicycles in Puyallup/Graham, WA wants NFS! Shall I have the owner contact you directly?
Are you still Cont. US only Josh? I haven't been able to think of a suitable trade for some merch.
Fully on the Bandwagon. Mouth / Money. All in the same place.

Beta update.
As if you didn't already know, NFS is awesome. I've reapplied the lube two or three times over the last 800 mile or so. Daily wipe downs continue as per instructions.
Nicest part so far was a rain ride. I was in the big ring for 45 minutes or so so lots of time for grit to collect on the little ring. When I went to shift into the little ring I prepared myself for the typical crunching sound of the chain grinding that grit and my chainring to boot! Nothing. No crunching sound. That lube definitely sheds the muck better than anything else!
Post wet ride all I did was wipe the chain/cassette/rings down and reapply a bit of NFS. All was well again. Nice!
FWIIW I got a note from the woman who runs the Lovely Bicycle blog (fantastic you should read it) who says something to the affect that "I've used the chainlube and I like it, as does all of Northern Ireland it seems. Synopsis: Basically it rains here on pretty much a daily basis, and I've put 600 miles on my roadbike in those conditions. No need for re-application so far."
Thanks everyone for the reports. In the New England region we do not get nearly as much rain...thank goodness.
Part of me can't wait until this winter for some real first hand testing.
TT - Thanks much for the quick turnaround and the great service. Can't wait to try. Have been wanting to try this for a while.
NFS World Headquarters is taking a little vay-kay.
Shipping will resume August 12. All order rec'd during the blackout will get shipped when we resume WITH a complimentary Baller Eff'in Bike sticker. Such a deal I tell you.
**NOTE to OZ - I'm shipping your goods today.
He shipped to OZ, so he can do whatever the hell he wants now. :blink1:
Purchased.
Looking forward to having a silent drivetrain throughout the Vancouver fall/winter/all-the-time.
My word is bond, you'll get all that and a bag of chips. NFS has exceeded expectations and we are comfortable saying it outloud.
THANK YOU for your patience. I'm bottling like mad and will ship all outstanding orders in the morning (tue).
Look out UK!!! NFS is coming your way.
FWIIW With the onset of CX season and changing weather we are looking forward to some field reports from our NFS sponsored race teams: RGM Watches-Richard Sachs Cyclocross Team, Zanconato-Cyclocross Team as well as our beloved eff-builders who are supplying free 2oz bottles with each new bike: Johnathan Green Cycles, Spectrum Cycles | The Perfect Bike Does Not Exist Until We Build it for You. and the aforementioned. It's going to be one he!! of a winter and boy are we proud of you guys :)
Received my care package today and rushed home to clean my chain and apply the lotion. Beautifully smooth in the stand, can't wait to ride tomorrow to see what it's like and how it goes over the next week or so.
Thanks a bunch Josh for the package, you rock.
Woo Hoo :) Well, nobody has added a review yet. It's hot off the presses, this is a little bit exciting.
ALSO >>> you can add Ypsilanti Cycles and Ergott Wheels to the list of stockists. Ypsilanti is a retailer and Eric is going to add a sample size bottle to some of his premium wheel builds as a bonus. Thank you boys. Ballers here we come.
