Hey,
I usually soak my chain in kerosene once a week. If it is wet I use finish line dry in between soaks,or just soak it sooner. I used to run two chains and had on in the soak all the time. This system keeps your chain really clean. For mountain biking I use Pedro's syn lube. I wipe the chain down after every ride and relube before a ride. Toodles,Frogge.

I think that I've tried everything except olive oil.
