What lubes do you folks normally use on your bikes? Particularly on the
chain, suspension pivots, and various bearings. I'm sure this has been
discussed in the past but I couldn't find any info covering it.

I know what kinda porno lubes are best. Astroglide is some good stuff. Of
course the KY warming gel is nice too.When you use White Lightening are you in a dry or wet area. One shop
recomends it while others say it doesn't work in our wet conditions. -

was pretty dry and dusty, the dry kept the chain clean -

I do not like the wax build up on the cassette and chainrings from White
Lighting and the other "dry lubes". For me after about 15-20 miles
dry chain noise returns with the dry lubes. I like Tri-Flo or Prolink.
Yes in picks up dust but a quick brush with a fine haired paint brush
removes the dust. -

Prestone Silicone but since I ran out and I was in Auto
Zone I picked up can of STP Silicone. -
I've tried all of the above. They picked up way to much
dirt for liking. And some even washed off to soon. -
Too much build up. I switched to a teflon.

Try roses, strawberries and a little champagne. If that doesn't fix
your lubrication problem, try a synthetic. -
