    Best chain lube in UK?

    I'v used Holts chain lube with good results, no problem as long as you leave it on for a while prior to riding [day before like, works well]... Only reason i switched to Castrol chain wax/lube is because my local Halfords ran out of Holts... I have been using Castrol now for a while, and...
