I think the WD-40 camp has made a good case for using it as a chain cleaner/lube. I may not agree with them, but the facts seem to uphold that WD-40 is at least a decent chain lube/cleaner. So I think we don't have to argue that... I do have an alternative that has all the positive qualities of WD-40 (easy, cleans and lubes, easy on the wallet, and less messy than traditional chain lubes)... it's called DuPont Teflon Chain Lube. I've been using this stuff over the past 3 1/2 years (every 600-1200 miles) and I have to say that I think this stuff is the shit! In addition to being easy-to-use, very inexpensive (like $5-6 per can), and self cleaning, this stuff does not sling or in anyway get all over the bike/wheels/tires/etc. And if that is not enough, it is actually formulated to be an excellent lube for both oring and non-oring chains! I think that DuPont has long proven thier ability to formulate some very good products that perform beyond their intended uses. I'd recommend that you guys try this stuff - it really does work better than anything I've ever used, and I do not plan to switch until something better is offered up...

Sorry for doing that Dan. Just felt it was good info and I didn't want to bury it in another thread (but thought it was also relevant to that thread as well). Again... my apologies. Jim No worries. Just razzin' ya :thumbup Looks like a real good product. Can't wait to try it :thumbup
