What do you use to lube your chain?

[turbo chicken]

last night i used kerosene and an old tooth brush to clean and 80W90 Gear oil to lube... i also tightened the chain to specs ...


I just couldn't get it 100% clean on the bike... and yes i was being lazy i didn't feel like taking off the back tire cause i'll be doing it in a few day's anyways with the new tires.


I don't remember if it was mentioned... but it probably takes less time to remove the chain clean thoroghly then put back on the bike and lube than what i did last night... not only that... but probably less messy...


At the cycle gear shop the guy mentioned some spray can cleaner that works really well that they use them selves in the shop... anyone use these "spraycan cleaners"?... the guy in the shop swore by it.... i still don't think anything beats good ole elbow grease and your cleaning utensil of choice...
