I'm after finishing my cans of both, (both wd 40, bike chain cleaner and lube)
what is the best value and where to buy?

I use Muc Off dry chain lube. Does the job and has no fling.

For cleaning the chain i use some paraffin with fairy liquid, give it a good shake and soak the chain and give it a scrub with a chain brush.

would dry attract less dirt and therefore need less cleaning?

I absolutely hated Muc Off was horrible stuff as a lube.... and I was cleaning the chain every 3 weeks because of it, and that was with only short commuting.

I now use castrol racing lube. There's a little fling if you don't leave it to dry, but it works really well.

how often are you guys cleaning your chains?
I'm clane to city center any day it's possible and do it once a week

ACF 50 is a brilliant buy. Its a dear buy my god does it work well.....creeps into every nuck and cranny. Its not a lube its a protector for after a good scrub.....as for lube for a chain I would clean mine with Kerosene and let me scott oiler do the rest. Before that I used car oil I had in the house.

I'd clean mine every 4 weeks depending on how much was done on it. Usually that would be only 120 km on surface streets from suburbs to city.

I try to clean and lube mine every 5 weeks, that's about 800 miles. But I do it sooner if it needs it.
