I can’t imagine ever going back to an oil based chain lube. Without exception you soon end up with a black grinding paste, which is the last thing your chain needs for longevity.
My latest experiment with Silca SS is going really well. The chain is so clean that it’s hard to tell if there is any lube on there at all. The drivetrain runs quietly too. I haven’t done enough mileage on it to check on chain wear, but the tests Zerofriction did were very encouraging.
I’m still using up the last of my Squirt on my Mtb and that is definitely more sticky on application and doesn’t seem to get inside the links so readily.
