WD40. Great clean AND lube. Really, it's a lube.
But you need to clean and lube EVERY TIME.
This is a terrible subject by the way. There are no right or wrong answers. It's like asking what it the best thing to put in your water bottle.

WD40 is NOT chain lube. It's a penetrating fluid and water displacer. Appealing stuff to use on a bike chain.BikeAnon wrote:WD40. Great clean AND lube. Really, it's a lube.

Check the chain lube reports at Friction Facts (who built a nice rig for measuring chain friction) or the articles in VeloNews.
Don't use any

+1 on T9. One application is good for hundreds of miles.

Finish Line dry teflon / wax in the summer. I get around 150-200 miles on one application depending on road dust / rain. After applying and the drivertrain spun it's allowed to soak for 30 mins and then excess removed
Finish Line wet in the winter
