TriFlow is the original bicycle chain lube and it's still very good stuff.

If you have the TriFlow still around use it and don't worry about it; the more expensive stuff just makes your money slide out of your wallet faster.

And yes, I shook the life out of the bottle before applying, AND I apply it after degreasing off the bike, rinsing, drying. discuss....this should be fun.

i hated the stuff mainly because of the drivetrain noise and it really wasn't much cleaner than a properly wet-lubed chain
