PJ1 is good. I use that or renthal stuff. I keep a tiny can of Castrol chain wax under the seat just in case the chain needs lubing on a long ride out too.

I use either the Wurth dry lube as stated by Fizz or the Profi dry lube which can be pur-chased at your local, and very friendly Hein Gericke store. Both work an absolute treat.

I'm a bit sad when it comes to bike maintance, the chains get looked at weekly at a minimum and usually cleaned and oiled. Good, gonna get on the bike this afternoon (650). |

I like the Holts green snot. It may fling a lot off but it seems to keep it nicely lubed at the same time. I gave up with the chain wax stuff, that was horrid.
I'm a bit sad when it comes to keeping the chain clean and lubed. every time I clean the bike I clean the chain and relube too...which is a lot. It doesn't take 2 minutes to clean the fling off your wheel with some WD40 and a cloth. If you keep up the maintenance of the chain, you very rarely have to adjust it, and it lasts longer

parrafin or WD40 and a cloth. Make sure you wear rubber gloves cause you get mucky

Problem is you end up as sad as me, one day you too will strip the bike down just for a clean. |

PDL for me too. Top stuff, zero fling, and doesn't make the chain look dirty either.
Top tip for cleaning gunk off wheels; Mr Sheen! Honest, works a treat.
