jig-a-loo lube for my chain etc
I been using the brand of lube jig-a-loo lube which is from local hardware stores like Canadian tire for my chain etc
It is dryer then wd 40 and non greasy. It is good with water and stays on even in rain and puddles
is this lube ok or would it cause wear
should i just use proferred lube from bike store which is way more $$$

Well, it's better than nothing.
I have a can of the Jig-a-Loo in my shed and use it to squirt on hinges, door locks, the odd squeaky wheel on my (wife) mower, etc. These types of items do not attain a high rate of...speed/spin like a bike chain does. So, if you use it, then you may have to apply quite often as it will disipate and breakdown quicker than its intended use on hinges and the like.
A 6oz bottle of Tri-flow at MEC costs $7.50. Lasts for several years...depending on how much you ride of course.
