I can't pick a side on the molecular weight discussion. But that would be the only thing that is backwards there, the rest of CliftonGK1's post is spot on. I'm sure you meant only that and you said almost as much, I'm just posting here in case someone casually reverses all the rest of the good info.

I was a fan of dry stuff when I lived in Utah, but have been near DC for a decade now and with the rain and such I need me some wet. I am still working my way through a stash of Pro Link which seems to be kind of in-between and does me right with a decent compromise between rust (the pitfall of too dry a lube in a wet environ) and gunk (the pitfall of too wet a lube).

I guess I should get with the 21st century and stop cleaning off the "shipping grease" of those new chains. D'oh.
