Which Lube to Use on Your Chain?

In dry conditions, a wax-based lube like White Lightning is cleaner because the wax doesn't attract dirt like oil-based lubes. This is especially important if you transport your bike in your car or store it in your house. You don't want nasty grease streaks all over carpet and upholstery. On the other hand, if you ride often in the rain, you'll need a "stickier" lube that doesn't wash off the chain when it gets wet. Pedro's Century Lube is an example.
