Quote:Ballistol, for over 20 years nowjust checked that out and its liquid parafin.
Not saying it is the best or anybody else should use it. Got the tip from an more experienced biker and happy with it. My chains last about 50.000km, but it is a bit more care intensive.
I run the chain through an oiled rag and then respray with ballistol after nearly each ride, In my opinion the big advantage is that Ballistol is not sticky and thus does not create a grinding paste with dust and sticky chain lube. It does not harm o-rings and is even allowed to be used in food processing machines, so no severe impact on the environment, if the chain slings some drops off.
And I can use it for leather treatment and a million other purposes.
But this ist just my personal preference. YMMV and so on ;D

Maybe cheaper to get that in bulk than pay for Balistoll
