I have found Dumonde Tech Lite to be an excellent product. It is however, a little overly aromatic during application.

First forum member will excess of 150 posts who PMs me with their name, shipping address gets a approx. 80% full bottle of Chain-L lube. Be patient, you may not hear back from me until later on Wednesday.

NFS is the lube asked about in recent posts, stuff is good. I've been really pleased with application and use. You do need to wipe your chain down after every ride. If you're not keen on doing that...it's not a lube for you.

Link for NFS if you're in a shopping mood: http://ballersride.com/shop/nixfrixshun-chainlube-nfs

For folks who feel that they haven't been spending enough time on their bike maintenance...

Is the bicycle chain lubricant market over-saturated?

But some of those don't have much market penetration...

In a related matter, I can't be the only one who's wondered why there are so many different brands of bike tires out there. (most of which probably come from two factories in Indonesia)

I picked up some Einzsett gel grease for my motorcycle, I started using it on the bicycle. I've always been happy w/ their wax and polish products on my vehicles. Seems to do it's job... Motorcycles have O-rings between each plate though, which needs conditioning that bicycles don't so it's a little overkill.

No, no connection to them. I stumbled onto their site and liked the home-business feel of the video on their site. Just wondered if anyone here has tried it before I buy.

Looking at the instructions, I have to wonder if it has a high solvent content.

I'm in this camp as well and won't be buying more Boeshield t9 once I run out. It's been ok, but it doesn't last long in the dry, last at all in the wet and is very difficult to clean off residue.
