Good all purpose lube- post cleaning?
About to do a full clean of my Diverge. Frame, drivetrain, all of it. Looking for a good all purpose lube (probably spray) to use on the moving components of the drivetrain post cleaning. Not a chain lube, I have that well covered. Thanks for any leads. BTW: I ride only on road with my Diverge. It isn't exposed to unnecessary or excessive dirt.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Non omnino gravis
It's not chain lube, and I've been using it on derailleur pivots for as long as I've been riding bicycles. Squirting it into cable housings and lubing the inside of shifter/brake levers, too. But good job on clipping out part of a quote to make it sound like you know what you're talking about. Here's the rest of the original text: "This unique dry film won't attract dirt or dust, is highly resistant to water, and prevents rust and corrosion It is the perfect lubricant to use on brake and gear cables, derailleurs, front and rear brake pivot points, shift controls, chains quick release nuts. Prevents cable freeze up. It functions properly in temperatures from -20* F to 750* F. "

Boeshield T9. I like Dri-Slide but moly can smudge and stain clothing, etc.
Boeshield wicks along cables to slick them up when you don't have time to replace cables and housings. It's a decent lube for hard to reach places like a jockey wheels. It leaves a dry film over external stuff including frames. It's less messy and stinky than WD-40.
Not the best for any particular use, just versatile.

Triflow seems to work fine
