I would welcome suggestions regarding chains and lubes for winter. Right now mine is a rusty mess despite my having lubricated it very recently. One lousy ride and it's just awful!
Normally I lube my chain with a combination of Phil's Tenacious Oil well worked in (lots of cranking plus I use a toothbrush to work it in from both sides) followed by light spray of T9, and then I wipe off the excess to avoid clinging dirt. My chain is a medium-quality Shimano. Are there special chains for winter? Also I would welcome suggestions for how to wash my bike indoors, inside so as to avoid splashing, spilling, and otherwise making a mess. Right now I prop a plastic concrete mixing trough up the legs of my bike stand, but it is "tippy" and doesn't catch all the water. I've thought about using the tub, but the stand doesn't fit in it, and I'm worried about stains from the oil, etc.
