Dear cyclists,

After years using wet lubes in all conditions (currently, a specific
chain oil with PTFE from 3in1
http://www.3-en-un.fr/produit/lubrifiant-chaines-et-cables-250ml/),
and being used to seing my chain getting very dirty, I have just learnt
that I may avoid this by using dry lube instead.

Actually, I have heard of one specific product, the Squirt dry lube
http://www.squirtlube.com/our-products/. It is about twice more
expensive than the lubricant I am currently using, but it is supposed to
reduce cleaning work, and if it does make the chain cleaner, it may as
well reduce its wear and extend its life.

So, have any of you tried that lubricant, or any other dry one? Would
you recommend it rather than wet lubes?

Squirt is one of the better dry lubes I know. I am using it now. The issue that I have with wet lubes is that it attracks dirt and it leaves a mess at your cassette which is difficult to clean. This is solved by dry lube and as I said Squirt is one of the better ones. During a wet ride it stays on very well but I recommend to lube your chain again afterwards. Another issue with Squirt is that it penetrates very slowly. Lube your chain one night before your next ride. Lube intervals in general once every 250 km.
