Opinions on Chain-L Lube

Is anyone using Chain-L lube and how do you like it? I'm wanting to give a wet lube a try and this stuff looks like it might be the ticket

Just started using it so I don't have any long term data for you. It goes on nicely just make sure you thoroughly clean and dry your chain before application. Smells a bit funky so if you keep your bikes indoors keep that in mind. The owner posts over in Mechanics quite a bit. He is usually very willing to send a free sample to your LBS for you to try. That or buy his starter/sample size to give it a try.

everyone has an opinion on lubes. I have yet to find a real scientific study on the various brands out on the market. I have not used Chain-L, but I have seen it. The consistency seems very similar to Dumonde tech's heavier lube and Finish Lines' Wet lube.

Comparing lubes is a little bit like comparing religion. Everyone is convinced that theirs is the best.
