hi guys,

can someone recommend a decent chain lube for an MTB? is GT85 too thin? there seem to be so many in bike shops, and all bloody pricey! someone recommended motorbike chain oil, but i'm not so sure on that...

the bike it'll be used on is used through sun, rain, road, mud, full on XC rides etc. it does a bit of everything so the lube has to be the able to cope with those biggrin

thanks chaps.

I use TF2, hasnt let me down yet, and it always makes it super smooth for longer periods of time than others i've used.

GT85 really is too thin. Use this stuff most of the year. If it gets dusty then look at some dry lube maybe but TBH this stuff is all i use.
