Sorry for posting in the motorcycle forum, however I figured that some here would be likely to have experience.
I ride quite a few miles on my bicycle and I am having trouble getting good life out of the chains. I am using the best Shimano chains I can purchase.
I have tried every bicycle chain lube I can get my hands on. White lightning stays clean, however the chains do not last. My current lube is Dumond Lite, It is an oil and seems to be nothing special for $6.00 per ounce. I even tried TriFlow, however dirt really sticks to the chain and chain life was poor.
The chain shifts better over the cassette when clean and well oiled.
What do you guys think?
Chris
