Default Silkolene Chain Lube

People's opinion?

I've already bought a can, just wondering how it rates among the masses.

Looks all snazzy, semi-synthetic (whatever that does).

Been using the Wurth Dry Lube and although its a pleasure not having to clean the chain as often, I forget how long its been since I last lubed and end up doing it again just in case. The chain looks the same whether its dry or lubed, which doesnt help!

Can't really comment on that but I've been using silkolene titanium chain gel for a while (6 months riding), it's a few quid more than the silkolene chain lube. I like it because you can see it on, therefore know when it needs another lube. Doesn't fling off and lasts a while.

This was just something I picked up at my local bike shop today, just wondered if it was rubbish or not really. Plus I'm bored.

Thanks

I use it and love it, the only problem I had was got it on the wheel and need parfin to get it off again, but my chain likes it.
