In real wet weather, you are likely better off using a real good oil type lubricant, but your drivetrain will suffer and have a much shorter life due to all the grit it attracts.
I didn’t ride much in hard rain, so a wipe down with a microfiber cloth after the ride was all I needed to do.

Before you rely on Zero Friction, read this

I know Hambini is a character, but he's an aerospace engineer and he makes valid points.
Fact is, I could care less about wattage gains etc. Waxing is just so much cleaner than wet lube, and it does attract less abrasive grit, which is why I do it.
