My fairly new (late July) Dawes Horizon has developed a squeaky chain.
No doubt this is the result of my daily 14 mile commute along grubby and
often wet roads.
So, what now? Remove it, and leave it in hot candle wax for 15 minutes?
Use some proprietary compound?
I've done the melted candle wax thing with what seems like good results
before, but it's far from obvious to me that paraffin is in fact the
best kind of lubricant for a chain, even if the idea of heating it to
boil the moisture (and with it the dirt) out of the chain makes sense.
