I used to swear by wet chain lube until I rode through one dusty summer

For years I only ran wet lube because it felt quieter and lasted longer. Then I did a 60 mile gravel ride last August near Austin and my drivetrain sounded like a bag of rocks by mile 20. The dust turned that wet lube into grinding paste. Switched to dry lube with wax after that and my chain stays clean for twice as long. Anyone else have a brand of dry lube that actually holds up in humid weather?

Sounds like you made a mountain out of a gravel molehill to me.

Threw a party last weekend and someone gravely misjudged how much ice we needed, ended up with a cooler full of melted nothing, @the_ben that's what your post reminded me of.
