at the santa cruz bike church we use bio-lube by phil wood.<br>it gets tacky sooner and may not last as long in wet weather, but i have no complaints. it&#39;s nice not to have a fumie, petro-chemical lube in the community shop setting.<br>

<br></div><div>If you build a covered shed, you can keep your solvent tank outside. You just need something to keep the rain from getting into your system--before we stopped using our varsol tank, our shed was just big enough for the system itself (you stood outside of the shed to actually use it). You can just hammer together something really simple.</div>
