What's Your Favorite Chain Lube?

This may be the most contentious topic in all of cycling, but I'm gonna ask anyway: what is your favorite chain lube?

I feel like I've used just about everything for the past few decades, but my current favorite is Dumonde Tech's Original Bike Lube.

I've been using it year-round here in the Pacific Northwest on my road, cross and mountain bikes. Works great in the wet and doesn't gunk up. Not the cheapest stuff, but a little goes a long way and it's well worth it IMO.

Let us know your favorites!

Used to be TriFlow then did some research and saw how awful Teflon (PTFE's) is for the ecosystem so I switched to paraffin wax based T9

Yeah, I remember when every bike shop used to smell like TriFlow in the 90s and kinda wondered about that.

That’s a great one. I use it it treat the inside of my steel frames and on cables.
