is it time for a new chain lube thread?

[rockyroller]

with all this chatter about cleaning, is it time for a new chain lube thread? stopped by my LBS & asked for some & was offerred this. in both spray & drip form. interesting that the drip product also came with a straw

the writing is too small to read but I believe it's a dry lube w PTFE which I think is a Teflon Fluoropolymer ...

"Tri-Flow remains a simple, yet great multi-purpose oil. . . . It’s a dry lube in that it won’t last long under heavy rain or creek crossings, but it’s an oil so it will attract some dirt. . . . there are better chain lubes on the market today . . [but good for other bits of the bike]"
And 'No'.

YES Another chain lube thread ,even if it's only purpose is to annoy Drago.

What tyres should I buy? Fast-rolling, puncture-proof and grippy please!

Well, I suppose a chain lube thread that's about tyres is different!

Can anyone suggest a good cycling jacket for the cooler months?

Can anyone suggest a good cycling jacket for the cooler months?

waterproof-yet-breathable? Light, fits into a pocket, and works well from 2'c to 15' ? Not too expensive?

Let me check, shouldn't be long ...

A friend of mine surprised me by singing its praises only the other day. He's been doing 100 miles a week for over 40 years...

Finish Line Wet Lube. You have to be careful with trikes with chain tubes as some react badly with the solvent in the lube.
