Chain Lube Recommendations - Dry Riding Conditions
Hi
I have been a bit of a fan of Rock N Roll Gold lubricant for road riding but I am not convinced of its suitability for touring longer distances on dry dirt roads and hence I am interested in what others use in similar touring conditions.
I am debating switching over to Rock N Roll Extreme for these conditions or maybe using Purple Extreme which seems popular with mountain bikers.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Andrew

Bikes: Specialized Tarmac Expert, 2002 TREK 520, Schwinn Mesa WINTER BIKE, Huffy Rock Creek 29er, 1970s-era Ross ten speed. All my bikes are highly modified(except the Tarmac) yet functional, and generally look beat to ****. .

I use Dupont Chain saver with teflon for all my chains. Get it at Lowes (or online) for half the price of any other bicycle specific lube. 4 oz for $4 or so.
