At the risk of starting a big debate, just want to know what others are using for chain lube in the winter?

I recently moved from a place with heated underground bike parking where I had a chance to rinse my bike very often to a place with an unheated garage and now have a chance to wash it every few weeks.

I am currently using White Lightning-Clean ride wax and notice that it is not doing a good enough job at keeping the chain free of rust.

Suggestions? (BTW, the climate in which I live is Calgary, AB)

From the stand-alone lubes, I found T9 to be the best in winter and in rain. However, I now mix the lubes and specifically T9, LPS3 and ACF50 in comparable proportions. The mixture works very well.

I've given mine a blast of PB Blaster, spun it, spun it wiping it, let it sit & T9
'Sides its winter, eventually its gonna kill the chain no matter what you use

Same thing I use in the summer: ProGold ProLink

At the risk of starting an even bigger debate: Clean your chain with WD40 after a particularly messy ride, let it dry, then wipe the crap out of it to get most (or all) of the WD40 off, and then lube your chain...that'll help with the rust problem.

These sort of propositions are good when one rides infrequently under harsh conditions. I would sooner dump the bike than do it twice a day .

My preferred chain lubrication for sub-freezing conditions is Tri-Flow. It stays liquid down to -60 degrees Fahrenheit (-51 degrees Celsius).

I wipe the chain clean with Simple Green Solution and then apply the Tri-flow. The process in the link below takes me two paper towels and about 3 minutes total to do both.

To prevent rust you will need to at least clean the chain off with Simple Green Solution after a ride where the chain gets wet. That will take about 90 seconds total time.

In the old days of car driving, they recommended checking oil level before every ride, pressure in the tires, acid in the battery and few other things that slip my mind.
