OK, so you need to ride in the rain because you want to be fit for Tour of

Willamette. I switched to DumondeTech chain lube a few years ago and am

totally satisfied with the results. The formulation that they have sticks

to the chain even in pouring rain conditions for days and days. It's a

little messy after a couple of weeks of riding, but the chains never rust

and continue to roll smoothly through all 23 teeth on big cog. It's a

little hard to find, but well worth the search. White Lightning and Race

Day simply don't make it (no offense John), plus the accumulation of wax on

the little cogs makes for less than optimal performance from the shifters

etc.



See ya at the races....

PS...Skiing is the preferred alternative for the really old guys who still

ride bikes fast in the late season.
