    Finish line wet, winter and summer up here, always wet. Just don't use too much (my usual trick :oops: ), too much just wastes lube and encourages the chain to clag up more quickly, particularly if it's dusty.
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    WD-40.

    I probably shouldn't use it but I don't have a car to have car oil and the
    tube from the WD-40, I have it for 2 years and it's not empty yet.
