i dont use any - i ride my bike every day too.
i clean my chain thoroughly once a week and let the x ring seals do the lubricating for me

reason

i've never found a single wax that doesn't fling off most of it by 1 mile down the road.
i'm sick of de-gunking my back wheel
in the past i've gotten no longer life out of a chain by lubing it every other day than i do now cleaning it once a week...

I read an article in a mag (cant remember which one) that said the same as that.

They said there was no need to use chain lube as the 'seals' did the lubing.

All you needed was something to stop corrosion. :?:

Hein Gericke's own brand of chain lube works great! not to much splatter from it if used sparingly!

EP50 gear oil in a little squirt can - oil it up and wipe off the excess.
Cheap as chips and I know of 4 race teams that use it and thats where the tip came from.

Does fitting a Scottoiler count, in this thread. Coz it's worked for me over 9 bikes or so.
