Liqui Moly bicycle chain lube...yeah!

[TiGeo]

My very favorite sponsor er...oil company looks to have chain lube now. I actually use Squirt and Rock n' Roll Gold or Wet most of the time but may give this a shot for a winter mtb/gravel bike lube.

 

[AZjeff]

Rock 'n Roll Gold only here with the constant dust but I'd try the LM Dry formula. Doesn't seem to be readily available yet.

Silca Wax + Super Secret Lube, rewax every 750-1000 miles for the win.

MoS2 in a bike lube?

I hate regular chain lubes. I've been suing Molten Speed Wax for almost 10 years.

I assume the wax folks are riding road. Not great for offroad with creek crossings etc.

On a road bike I take it?

I always seem to pick Rock n Roll gold as my go to lube for the road bike fast simple and find it most effective.

Yes. Rock and Roll / Absolute Dry for mountain.

I've switched around over the years. RnR is always good. Like Squirt for summer.

 

[rijndael]

I settled on it because I can get it in a 16oz bottle, it's cheap, and does a good enough job.

Found this a few years ago and haven't deviated on road or mtb's.

Hey @TiGeo, can you get that from FCP Euro?

"Best chain lube" vs. "Best motor oil"

What's more contentious?

Not seeing any contention in this discussion. When we moved from Pa to Az I had to find a different lube because of the vastly different trail conditions. I got some recommendations from other riders and shops. Eventually settled on RnR Gold and it's been working fine. These narrow 12 speed chains need a lot of attention here or they don't last. I'll give LM Dry a try when it becomes available, always room for improvement.

RnR Gold is so good. I use the blue bottle/wet version in winter here for trails/offroad.

Also used with good results:

Dummonde Tech (requires a bit of following a procedure) - what used before the RnR Gold and Squirt
White Lightning (reg/wet) - old school/'90s lube
Tri-Flo - smells like bananas - that was way back in the early '90s when I used it but still have the bottle...good for small moving parts

Can't return it per the LRG rules even if they did so "out".

Key words..."in this discussion". Ask the same question on a bicycle forum, and look out!

Yes, but it would work well on a MTB as well. Silca Super Secret chain lube is signficantly better than squirt as well. I ran both on a MTB, and this is coming form someone who has ridden north of 50k miles in the last few years.
