Need a dry chain lube, don't want to order any specialized stuff just go to local hardware store and buy one.
Currently options are:
1. WD-40 Specialist - 10 oz. Dry Lube $7
2. Liquid Wrench - 11 oz. Chain and Cable Lube $5 (possibly not dry lube)
3. Blaster - 9.3 oz. Advanced Dry Lube with Teflon $4.50
4. Blaster - 5.5 oz. Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant $4.30 (this one probably does not help much with friction)
5. 3-IN-ONE - 4-oz Dry Lube $4
Stick with a bicycle dry lube though some use a semi dry lube in lieu of a wet one. Dry is good in all conditions. Be sure to follow a cleaning and lubing guidelines online.
