Squirt is fine in the wet, just wipe the chain down after a drenching and reapply. Its a lot cleaner than other lubes :-)

It’s not great if it wees it down 20 miles in to your 80 miler.

It is shoot, and lasts about as long as a chocolate fire guard

Not had a problem with it my self on 100mile + ride. The longest I've had in constant heavy rain though is 66miles.

Any lube that can wash out in a single day is not for me. Life is too short to be lubing chain so often.

For one wet day Id rather have clean hands and clean walls and keep the bikes in the house. When it's not wet I can leave it weeks.

Dirty chains are most often as lube is left on the surface of the chain. It does its work inside the rollers. The outside of chain can be quickly be wiped down with a rag to remove any excess. Clean chain, and weeks between applications rain or shine.

You dont need to tell me, I've been wiping down chains for 180,000miles. For me its just better that I can wheel the bike into the house, don't get a dirty chain/bike/ hands etc and its no extra cleaning compared to what I've done before (in fact the opposite) so its better for me but nobody is forcing you to adopt it.
