Default Lube Points on Road Bike

What should I lube on my road bike, and how often.
I ride about 130km's a week.

Also someone once told me when you lube your chain, to give it a light wipe
afterwards, ??? is this the case ?

Also whats a good lube that doesn't make **** stick to the chain and making
it go black quickly ?

Thanks for any advice,
Kazu

Pro-Link Gold is great. Lube the inside bottom run of the chain, by
turning the pedals backwards. A few drops is OK every week, unless you
ride in the rain.

Yes, just to wipe off any excess

Any of the dry lubes will stay dry, but most need frequent reapplication
(every couple of rides). Try Bikeline Drylube by Motorex. It stays fairly
dry but will last for much longer between reapplication.
