I'd be weary about using ordinary cycle grease because it's not thin enough to get right inside the chain links where the lubrication is most needed. Has anyone tried this "Hot melt" type lube on bike chains:
Putoline - detail page When it's heated (by putting the tin on a stove) it becomes liquid and can flow into required nooks and crannies before solidifying in place when it cools. It's intended for motorbike chains but I cant see why it shouldn't work well on my Giant Twist Comfort chain.
