So.
What you using?
I swore by putoline tech chain.
Then I just stuck with oil as ive loads in the garage.

Was considering a switch back but fuck me its gone expensive.
Nearly double the price it was a few years ago.

Heard wurth dry lube is good, unless you use the bike in poor weather. Seen a lot of reports of rusty chains.
Maybe just because you dont notice its gone?.

I've always used chain grease from the range, £2.50 a can, doesn't splat to much foams up nicely gets in all the Nicks on your chain.

Been using this for the past 8-10 months, no complaints. Only downside is it takes a bit longer to apply than a spray can but i've had no fling.

Wurth Dry in summer Castrol Performance through winter.

When using Wurth make sure your chain is clean and dry, apply the night before then use little often and it won't rust.

I use white spray grease and a variety of chain lubes (whichever comes to hand on the shelf :D ).

Spray on the white grease till bubbles stop coming out of the rollers, leave overnight then a quick spray over with chain spray. I use chain lube to top up and every 500miles white grease.

In Spain we had a can of Muck off Ceramic lube and that was excellent, will get a can and try it for a longer period.
