I’m new to the sport – what’s the best chain lube out there ?
there are as many opinions about chain lube as there are about tires. what is true to both is it depends on what you’re riding: dry, muddy, etc.
i like rock’n’roll (http://www.rocklube.com/). in dry, dusty socal it doesn’t pick up a lot of dirt. i used pedro’s for awhile and my rear derailleur pulleys were gunked with muck each ride. (muck = lube + dirt) had to clean the chain often. i’ve tried chainsaw oil too, just as bad. prolink was better in that regard than pedro’s and if you need a wet lube it’s pretty good and easily accessible from performance. i have buddies that swear by drumondes, but for the moment, i’m sticking with rock’n’roll.
