  1. Can anyone recommend something to lubricate my chain that;

    1) Goes on easily for a chain that can be taken off the bike
    2) Lasts a fair amount of time and is reasonable all weather
    3) Is not overly expensive

    Thanks,
    Ian

    Finish Line Cross Country. I've recently let my LBS persuade me to try
    White Lightning Epic, but it isn't nearly as good. Stick to Finish Line.

    You don't use much. Really. A little bottle may cost about five quid but
    it lasts a very long time. I prefer the dropper bottle to the spray can
    - you don't waste so much.

    Ditto.

    You can get this from (whisper it quietly here) Halfords. There - said it!

    I'm using ProGold Pro Link chain lube on my tourer/commuter at the
    moment, and whilst it is a nice, clean lube, I've yet to see how it
    performs in heavy rain.

    Either ChainReaction or BikeDock were doing three bottles of
    Finish Line Cross Country for around a tenner.

    *checks*

    ChainReaction are currently £11.99 for a pack of three 120ml
    bottles. Free postage and get get to not give Halfords your money! 🙂

    I have just had a newsletter/product thingy from the Ed Co-Op. They are
    flogging it at £3.95 for the 4oz bottle.
