Chain Lubes I use:
1. Turbine Engine Oil MIL-L-23699 (very nice when I can get my hands on it)
2. Starrett tool oil (light and does not attract a lot of dirt)
3. 3-in-1 oil
4. Beeswax

Beeswax was my favorite, You actually drop the chain into a can of melted wax and let it sit for a while before taking it out and running it on the bike. It only works on a NEW, CLEANED chain... end forces you to endure several miles of unbelievably stiff chain. After that, it makes for a nice, quiet, dirt-free chain.

I mostly use 3-in-1 these days. works. cheap.
