OK, so realistically I do understand that different lube will be required for different conditions. I’ve stuck with wet lube for my hybrid and cleaned it off and re-applied every 2-3 weeks with no issues.
I have one road bike though, or at least I will have from tomorrow. I need to use it indoors and outdoors. It will only venture outdoors over winter if it’s dry although I could of course be caught out by the odd shower. I still have the hybrid for commuting if it’s a bit wet out and it will probably remain my main commuter bike until spring.
So what I want to do is have as smooth a transition between direct drive trainer and getting out on the road when the opportunity arises. I’ve got the same cassette for my trainer so it should in theory be a simple changeover and no issues with gear indexing.
Chain lube though I’m not sure about. I can’t have it making a mess everywhere for indoors of course but I don’t want to have to clean and re-lube my chain with a different lube every time I move from indoors to outdoors or vice versa.
I’ve just ordered some rock n roll gold. Have I done the right thing? What do others in this situation use? Yes I know it would be better to have a separate bike permanently set up on the trainer but I just don’t have the space and can’t be buying 2 road bikes at the same time anyway – I don’t think the other half would be particularly pleased with that.
