Seeing as I'm now Shimano'd up with the newer unidirectional version of the 6800 chain, I can no longer pop off my chain and sling it in a bowl of molten paraffin to clean/lubricate it, so I've got to to back to the joys of using a degreasing tool and then reapplying lube every few hundred kilometres.
Instead of just grabbing a bottle of Finish Line Dry Teflon Lube, I decided to see what everyone is using. I thought it'd be a good thread for us to again pool our resources and throw out recommendations of stuff that isn't necessarily on everyone's radar. A case in point is the frankly massive range of lubes from AZ, one of Japan's biggest (and cheapest) lubricant manufacturers. You can find their greases in every single home centre, but I never realised they did a load of bike-specific stuff until I came across this stuff, which is apparently on a par with Wakos' and Kure's offerings:
This led to this handy/useless little chart of the lubes they offer, including some mental "time trial" lube called "Bank":
Anyway, I'm going to give the stuff in the above linked image a dig and see how it goes.
