BikeRadar's highly commended lube.
Wet lubes cling through rain and slush but attract grime. Dry lubes run cleaner in dry weather but wash off in the wet.
Wax-based lubes run very clean, but need a clean chain and careful application.
Wipe the chain clean first, add a drop per link, let it soak in, then wipe off the excess.
As a rough guide, re-lube after wet rides and every few hundred kilometres in the dry.
Wet. It resists being washed off in rain and spray, which is most of a UK winter.
It's better not to. Clean the chain first if you switch type.
