    I've tried a few different lubes/waxes over the last year and keep comign back to Joe's No Flats wet lube.

    Seems to last well and doesn't attract dirt like Finish Line wet (for example).

    Quite tasty spread on hot buttered toast too (probably).

    Squirt.

    Tried it for the first time last year. FAR better than anything I've ever used in the dry and fairs pretty well in the wet too. Never needs degreasing just brush off any dirt that does get on there and relube. No faff, very pleased with it.

    Not cheap, but good.

    I've found the Bike Hut lubes less effective than the FL equivalents, example the BH dry lube isn't as liquid as the FL equivalent, and doesn't go on as well.
    After a year or two off FL, I've recently gone back to it.

    Free sample of squirt by visiting the in2dust website and requesting one. I am about to degrease and give it a go.

    I second the Squirt recommendation. Initial slight faff degreasing the chain etc but once you are up and running it works so well. No gunky mess, wash chain clean post ride, reapply- job's a goodun'. I used the free sample given out before the TransWales last year and have stuck with it as I was impressed.

    i have used squirt for a week or so on my commuting bike,it works fine but it was a wet week and my chain links started to rust as this doesnt leave an oil film to prevent corrosion, seems good other than that,well going to use it on my other bikes to see how it fairs

    Although I am a Squirt user on my MTB's, i use bog standard Asda 3 in 1 on the commuter and it does the trick.

    Horses for courses and all that…
