Good Chain Lube

I too have been using Erik V's home brew for about a year now and it works great. It sure beats forking over $8 or $9 for a tiny bottle of ProLink......imho.

I'll second that recommendation.  I've been using this recipe to "brew my own chainlube" for well over a year. Not only is it inexpensive, it works well.  I've just now reached 1.5 % wear on my chain and have nearly 20k miles on it. I do clean and re-lube frequently, but have never had a problem with it running out of "slippery" before my ride is over, even on a 200 mile ride.

YMMV, but that's my $0.02

Who out there has a tried and true chain lube that works well in wet/gritty commutes day in and day out? Any seasoned veterans have a recommendation? (Affordability would be nice too). Thanks!
