since I know a bit about bikes, I can tell something about lubes...if you go to any decnt bike shop, somebody can help you with what you're looking for. In mine, WD-40 is the enemy to bikes mainly because it is water based. It really doesn't attract dirt much because of the silicon but is not the best of lubes. Makes a good flamethrower, however, with the straw and a match...in bike lube, you want stuff that is either wax or teflon based. The best lube I've ever used that is teflon based, lubes great, and repels dirt is called T-9. You can't find it everywhere but we sell it at Criterium Bikes and I've seen it a Sears!. The next best lube I would say is Tri-Flo. This stuff is also teflon based and repels dirt but doesn't quite have the lubing abilities of T-9. The best wax based product is either White Lightning or the Kry-Tech stuff that I have. Find these only in bike shops. They work well because they dry to a hard coat, just like wax. Only downfall is that the coat is kinda thick. Another fine lube is dry, powdered graphite. This is good for bearings and such...I can only find it in hardware stores. I know I sound like some bike geek, which I guess I am, but I don't mean to come across that way...
