The Park Tool Cyclone chain scrubber is back on offer on Amazon. £20.99 and I am quite tempted. Is it worth it?

Before swapping the seasonal use of wet with dry lube I run my chain through a chain bath filled with planet friendly bio-degradable solution. Once a year I remove the chain off and give it a good soak which this posting has reminded me to do now. With the chain out of the way I get stuck into the cassette, jockey wheels and cogs. In bygone days I applied chain wax but not anymore, wet or dry lube is best for me; when cycling with a friend who owns the same make of bike that uses the same drive-chain, the improvement in the speed and quietness of my bike is very evident.

You can tell a riding speed difference due to chain lubes?

Don't you mean Tope-ic?

Its more about personal preference to use lubes instead of wax - as a lad I used 3-in-1 oil !

( We all know the speed of a bicycle depends on many factors including a clean smooth-running drive-chain) .

Nothing wrong with 3 in 1as a chain lube.
If you can find notable differences in cyclists performance due to different chain lubes, I'm all ears.
Weight is a factor in cycling, but can you detect a difference of +/- 1 gram in the real world?

I'll leave the research to you - I'm off for a bike ride

No need. I'm not the one making unrealistic claims.
I'm off to the bar....

I pour oil on my motorcycle chains, spin a dozen times to get the dirt mobile with the oil, then old t-shirts to wipe the outside off, then insert the shirt into my neighbours hedge. Hope it doesn't catch fire one day tho.
