GT85 as a chain lube
Discussion
My commuter bike lives quite a charmed existence going between a nice dry garage at home and a similar space at work and I tend to take the car if it looks like rain. Still, it sounds like conventional lube is probably the better option...
I am promising myself a hardtail for an off road commute I think I've worked out, but right now it's all on roads of cycle paths.

After every ride, give the chain a good wipe - only re-clean and oil about once a month.
Chains needs very little lube and too much just attracts crud which wears it out too quickly.
Interesting. I think I was applying lube about every other day when I was commuting regularly last year. Chains needs very little lube and too much just attracts crud which wears it out too quickly.
At the risk of asking a stupid question, do you wipe the running surface of the chain links or just the sides/outside surface?
