What are you guys using for chain lube at the moment?

I use 'Green Oil' because he is a small business and it is, allegedly, green.
I bought a small 'On Tour' bottle from him at a cycle show in Brum last year for about £4. I was quite pleased until I realised that I'd paid £11 to get in and didn't buy anything else.
It must be good oil - it is expensive

Beach riding on the Mukluk I use dry lube all year round

Wet lube every other bike at the moment.

OK so I know someone at WD40 where I got a box of goodies, but when they run out I'll defiantly be spending my own cash on the following as they work really well and last a long time.

Looks like a wet lube, seems to actually clean your chain the more you use it. Have to apply it slightly more frequently than a wet though

I sometimes use some muc off wet lube but its only because i got it free and only use it on stuff I care less about (like my £6 SS chain)

Juice Lubes wet in wet conditions.

Squirt in the dry.

Finish line wet lube / oil in winter, teflon dry lube when it's not really muddy as it leaves a clean chain which helps on multi-day trips. The teflon lube doesn't leave you with a dry chain so fast, 100 miles or more between applications in summer. Seems to last the best of all the dry lubes I've tried, ie purple extreme, white lightning, FL ceramic etc.

Finish line dry all year round. Don't mind which brand I opt for but it's always dry lube. Never had a problem in years except on my commute bike this winter, but I blame the cheap sram chain I have on it

White lightning dry lube on my bikes.

A libreral spray of GT85, then sometimes white lightning epic, Finish line wet or dry, dependant on conditions and length of ride etc.

Muc-Off Wet in current damp conditions, used once in the dry when expecting rain and it was terrible for attracting dirt that instantly turned s filthy black.

I was using squirt but have used Halfords dry wax lube with some success.

I do wonder, when you're paying £7+ a bottle whether the cost of the oil outweighs the cost of parts wear & tear if using cheap oil!

OK that's what Im using at present but its a pain in the ................. I'll rephrase that, it difficult to get other than by mail order but Im happy enough with how it performs.

Ask a hundred cyclists, get a hundred different answers

Finish line wax lube for me
I like the way it doesn't attract dirt like a wet lube does

After trying loads of different kind of lubes my favourite at the moment is Squirt. It keeps the chain clean, is long lasting and smooth. Although not as good as a proper wet lube in the wet it does a fair job and doesn't wash off too easily.
