What sort of chain lube should I be using and how often? If someone could refer me to a site to purchase some that'd be great thanks!

Wet for winter, dry for the other 2 weeks of the year, try the lube section at chain reaction wiggle, uk cycle store etc!

Everyone has their own opinion on this so don't get bogged down.

PS GT85 and WD40 are not lubricants ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yeah a friend of mine told me not to use WD40 as that only really repels rust and should be wiped off when applying proper lube >.<

Wet lube is for wet conditions, likewise dry for dry

If you want to keep things simple, you can just stick to something sensible like White Lightning Epic Ride- works pretty well at everything.

(PS WD40 and GT85[i] are [/i]both lubricants- just not good chain lubes)
