My .02 on a tired subject: White Lightning is okay for dusty, gritty conditions. I used it on mtb's for years, where if I used an oil-based lube, at the end of the ride my chain would have half the trail stuck to it. But wax lubes are very marginal as actual lubricants, that's the trade-off. When I used White Lightning my chain clicked and clacked almost as soon as I lubed it, and I lubed it often. If you so much as come close to a puddle, it's gone. Even the folks at White Lightning say it's a dry-conditions-only lube, they've come out with their "Epic" White Lightning as a more all-around lube. But I can tell you from experience, a true oil based lube (Pro Link Gold is my favorite) is much better for anything but dry, gritty conditions off road.
