What's better for regular lubing of chain, hubs, derailleur, etc on a hybrid
used mostly for road touring?

A very light spray oil (like WD-40), something heavier (3 in 1 light machine
oil), or a heavier grease?

I'd like to be able to avoid buying the small overpriced bottle of "chain
lube" at the bike shop.

Thanks,

Ian
