Hi,

Question, as new chain and cassette are getting fitted this week, I want ot use the best lube I can for winter, which is the best to protect the chainset?

I currently use:

Cost isnt an issue really, just want the one that will keep the bike running at its best.

Cheers guys

    Hi Squill,

    I use: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1041

    Whilst its great for commuting or light maintenance, I would say if you regimentally look after your chain or wipe/lube often then I would go for the dry stuff.

    If you plan to stay on top of the cleaning/lubing, then use the dry lube, or their Pro ceramic.... :wink:

    ahh - but they have now split their 'pro ceramic' into two different lubes - a wet and a dry

    I use the dry on the summer bike (where I used to use the regular pro ceramic) and the new wet version (which isn't quite the same as the outgoing pro ceramic(but closer than the new dry one!)) on my winter bike.
