....need some lube recommendations for me and the mrs ohhhh errrrr.

No with sun out and summer coming the wet lube needs to go. Only used muc off stuff and didn't find the dry lube that good. Any suggestions for good dry lube?

I usually use Finishline Krytech in the summer, never had any issues. I bought some White Lightening Clean this time, trying it for the first time tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes.

What ever dry lube you use, the key to it working well is thoroughly cleaning and drying your chain first.

White Lightening Clean is what I use. Lasts well and needs min maintenance.

1 tip make sure the chain is totally claen and degreased before the first application.

Just buy a new chain every time the wax wears off

Well, after 30miles this morning, I can report that White Lightening appears pretty good. My chain is still sparkling, is still sufficiently lubed and was completely silent running. Thumbs up from me !

Ohhhh yessss, why didn't I think of that?!?! Wait, I can just buy a new bike every time it needs cleaning too.

Think I'll give the white lightening stuff a go.

Good move, first impressions are good. Make sure you clean your chain well first though. I ran mine through a Park chain cleaner, rinsed it, then ran it through again. After the first time, it looked clean, but t's amazing the amount of crap that still came out the second time.
