I've been using PJ1 Blue Label for my chain, but was wondering if there is anything better.  I like it but I am getting a bit of spray on fender.  Suggestions?  Favorites?

+2 DuPont Teflon.
Chain stays clean, flingless, and it smells piƱa colada WD40 when applied.

Oh, also cheap and available (Home Depot, Lowes, or equal).

Maxima chain wax here. Used to use PJ1 and got lots of fling on my fender and underside of my seat.  Angry Switched to Maxima and I get less but my chain seems to stiffen up much faster.   Huh? After a short ride I can wiggle it just fine but if the bike's been sitting a few days it sometimes feels like I have a few frozen links. They loosen up after a short ride but it's still a little disconcerting.

I tried finding the Dupont stuff when I read about it on ToB but I couldn't find it at my Home Depot. Could someone post a pic of the can they have? All the stuff at my Home Depot said not for use on o-ring chains.  Undecided

Motul Chain Lube - amazing stuff;

It goes on thin; cleans off the black oily crud; I mean it literally disolves and dripps off the black oily stuff after a WD 40 cleaning (after drying); and dries as a heavy clear coat.   

The beast advantage is you've got this clear coat so you can see the chain and know when its time to re-lube.  Its somewhat pricy; I'm paying 12 bucks a can, but haven't done an extensive online search on price ; I just bought a second can.

One problem-o there may be some fling; I have noticed a tiny bit of the occasional black fleck of oil on my pants; but that could be time for a new chain too, or the WD 40 clean ....

Cheers DuciD [moto]

Maxima chain wax.  I was using something else but got tired of the fling and the mess.  Every pair of pants I have has a tiny grease spot in the same place.  Maxima has no mess and no fling.  I think it's probably not as good as the messier, oil based lubes but your only lubing the o-rings anyway.  The o-rings hold in the grease that lube the links.

Dupont Teflon Multipurpose lubricant. Has worked great so far..

another +1. love it, very clean, with almost no stretch in 8000 miles. and its still clean.

It is not a longlasting application, by that  mean, don't spray it on and leave it in the elements and expect it not to rust. It is good with re applying every 500 miles or so. IMO

I'll update this later at a convenient time Thank you for tuning in.....
