My current favourite chain lube for all occasions (dry, dusty or
muddy) is a Inox product called "Lanox". It is described as a "heavy
duty anti-corrosion lubricant with lanolin". Lanolin is a natural wax
found in animal wool especially the wool from sheep, commonly referred
as 'wool fat' or 'wool grease'. Baa baa black sheep. You can get it in
a 300g aerosol can, but also in 5l container and 20 and 205l drums. A
300g aerosol can is about $10 and will lubricate a lot of chains.

What's so good about it?

it goes on thin enough to wick into all of the gaps in the chain;
although it doesn't completely dry out, it doesn't seem to attract
the dust like other "wet" lubricants;
doesn't gum up like teflon based dry lubricants;
doesn't wash off in the mud, but continues to repel water on long
muddy rides without keeping mud and dirt on your chain;
cheaper than bike chain specific lubes;
washes off easily in turps and takes whatever grime its
accumulated with it.

Hmm. This opens up lots of possibilities. There are hundreds of animal
species that exude oils of various kinds! We've been mostly arguing
petrochemicals, but now rec.bicycles.tech can run chain lube debates for
another century or so!

I use psychoactive toad oil . . . I think. I don't remember. Why are there tiny elephants on my bike?
