+1 for Purple Extreme. It’s all I ever use these days. Originally designed for lubricating underwater chains or something, whatever that means. But really does seem to cling on in the worst conditions.

Chain L -is the oil, i used loads, and this is just the best, i use it all year, no problems, try google it.
There is a uk importer, just go to there site 🙂

failed engineer/irelanst what lube you guys talking about? engine oil?

Sorry I’ve only just seen this;

Normally I use whatever I have lying around that goes in the car. At the moment all I have is some Castrol 80W gear oil which is being pressed into service, it seems to work fine (also used in lieu of fox float fluid).

It’s interesting that people talk about wear, I’ve never replaced a chain because its worn – only because it’s stretched.

Stretch = wear.

You’re probably right, I’d never thought about it before and just assumed it was creep in the side plates rather than wear in the pins.

I still aren’t buying into the bike lube marketing though!

Chain L is pretty expensive but I guess worth it from what I’ve read?

I’ll prob stick with finish line for the time being though
