I gotta say Prolink works best for me. Great for chains and pivot points. It doesn't attract dust/dirt.

Hey Swifferman, just for the record, I've used WD-40, Liquid Wrench, and just about anyother spray lube made. They all serve the purpose, but after the first couple of mudholes it really don't matter what you originally had on the chain.... Period.

That's why I said that I use "whatever", because it honestly DON'T matter, if you get down & dirty....

If people want to spray $$$ on their $9.00 chain, let 'em.... I don't.

I use Pedro's Ice Wax for the chain. Can't ask for more. I used to use triflow for that, but I like some more substance in my chain lube. I do use triflow for pretty much everything else on the bike though.

I'm not sure why some people feel the need to give advice when they literally have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

I've been using WD-40 on my ATV chains for years and it's the best stuff out there. Everything else attracts the dirt and grime not WD-40, so in all seriousness you don't know what your talking about. I've raced in locations all over the US in EVERY possible environment, from Red dirt in Texas to the black coal hills in PA so I have truly tested chains in all conditions only using WD-40. I also never wear out my drive trains nor have I ever broke a chain in a race or ride. Most chain lube is all BS hype and just plain over priced to the general public.

That's me coming up thru the middle...
