- I found Tri-flow didn't last well in wet and or muddy (i.e. off-road)
- conditions. I use Pedros now. Off road motorcycle chain lube is easily
- the most effective and durable, but I found it too hard to clean the chain.
- When I used to ride off road motorcycles, I never cleaned the chain, apart
- from with a hose. Then I just applied more lube. This practice would
- probably impede shifting too much and wear sprockets too quickly to make it
- practical for bicycles.
