I've used almost all the 'bike' ones over the years, but I now use chainsaw oil.
It's relatively cheap, it goes a long way and it's designed for chains that have a far harder life then the ones on my bikes![]()
It's Sthil stuff I've got. TBH it is a bit thin compared to stuff marketed as specific bike chain lube, but I just apply carefully and sparingly.Ive got 10+litres of sthil, in my work shop,thats good to know,is it not a bit sticky and how easy is it to clean off??

I tend to lube my chain at night, then I leave an old cloth on the chain stay and on the floor under the cassette to catch any drips, (I've always done this anyway, even with the 'official' bike stuff), then I wipe the chain 'dry' before I ride.
Does me well, if it's good enough for chainsaws then it's arguably too good for a bike chain![]()
Thats what I use; I tried the dry stuff but the weather turned crap, so I went back to the wet!Finish Line ceramic wet lube on the wet use bikes - does what it says on the bottle and isn't easily washed off by spray
Tastes even weirderAnother finish line ceramic wet user here. Very happy with it too!
Smells weird though!!

Is WD40 a good choice or totally wrong?
THISWhats wrong with it?
