best all year round chain lubricant?

[Soltydog]

I much prefer dry lubes, but at this time of year you need to clean and re-lube your chain after pretty much every ride if using dry, so I'm currently using Finish Line Ceramic web lube which seems good & doesn't pick up as much crud as I expected. Last a few rides before cleaning & re-applying

That was my point exactly. I prefer dry but don't want to reapply so often in wet weather so use wet at this time.

I use the Muc-Off ceramic equivalent.

Salted or unsalted.

Or GT85!

Salted or unsalted.

Unsalted - I'm not a prevert

You could be health conscious and use extra virgin olive oil instead of butter: http://www.lillylube.com/uploads/Link_to_Velo_Article.pdf

You say that but ...

Been using Fenwicks a Stealth Road lube since summer. Very impressed, it lasts well even in foul weather and I do think the chain runs quieter but have no science to prove that.

First use of it today. Wiped the chain with a wipe with GT85 lightly applied to the wipe. Then as per usual a drop of lube on each roller and run the chain around. Lube seems to have disappeared!
Not such a skoggy day today, but have to say that the chain IS much cleaner than usual after even a dry a ride.
What I DID notice is much less lube flung onto the rear wheel and chainstay and that's a good thing.
Mmmm, maybe this IS lube Nirvana ... time will tell!

Finish Line Ceramic for me. I've tried others and it's the only one which seems to work for me.
