I've been running BoShield on my chain for this year's SR series, as well as for BMB. It's lasted fine through all conditions on all lengths of brevets. My Park chainwear tool said that the ~3000 miles on the chain this year during the brevet season had worn it to the minimum replacement level, so I replaced it a few weeks before BMB. Took some chain oil but never used it, despite riding through hours of torrential rain. Nothing else I or others have tried -- White Lightning, Finish Line, or ProLube -- has worked as well as BoShield. Doesn't collect as much dust as FinishLine. Stays on through hard weather better than White Lightning or ProLube. I'm told that Phil's Tenacious Oil is also good, but haven't tried it.
