A bit messy, but everthing is easy to wipe down and gets really clean. Best to apply the Ice Wax at least a couple of hours before riding.

WTF kind of bike are you riding? Gears and pulleys? AHHH!!!!!
But I like triflow. It works well, but after a week or so, the lube 'dries' out and leaves a thicker black residue. Doesn't really bother me enough yet to change lubes.
I've used pedros ice wax [OK, but the first touch of water made the lube wash off], pedros MTB syn lube [TOO GOOEY AND GRIMY- STAY AWAY!]. I also have a bottle of finish line MTB lube with the gree ncap that I may try next.
I also got some free lube from rock 'n roll, haven't used it yet.
