Chain lube - what a controversial topic!

I postulate that it really doesn't matter what you lube your chain with - so long as it's not saltwater or a similar crazy thing. You see, the root of the problem is not the lube, it's the chain and sprocket. This drive arrangement is just too vulnerable to the elements.

So, lube away with whatever makes you feel good. The choice of lube - within reason - doesn't make much difference. Frequency of cleaning / lubing have way more impact on chain and sprocket life than the type of lube.
