Actually I have found a use for my old bottle of White Lightning, I use it to quiet the door hinges in my 90 yr old house, works great at keeping the squeaks down, now if I could just get it to work on the floor boards :)

People are still trying wax? I thought Sheldon Brown put that myth to rest years ago...
Don't even start with the White Lightning!

I have used Pedro's Ice wax for yrs. Love it because of cleanliness. However...
I have become convinced with recent long rides that it really isn't much of a lubricant! Seems to flake off (the clean thing) and chain is squeaky/dry by end of a 4/5 hr ride. When I go to dry areas like Arizona it is pretty un-lubing from the get go!

What are people using that lasts, protects, is good in wet, but doesn't get all black/gunky (like triflow used to) and make a big greasy mess!

???
Thanks,
DC
