ProLink is the best, in my opinion. I started using it on my fixed gear and rain/beater road bikes 2-3 years ago. I use it on all my bikes now.
My only grip, and it's a small one, is that the last bottle I got had a larger drip nozzle. The original one was an angled, almost pointy nozzle with a small orifice. It worked splendidly; the new one doesn't. But the stuff inside is what counts.
Dear Mike,
I'm not trying to start an argument, just curious--what makes ProLink better?

I'll bite. The reason ProLink is better is that the chain doesn't get that dirty (and as a result, the chain is easier to clean), and the lube lasts quite a while (at least on road bikes). It seems to hold up to water (at least better than those waxy lubes).

How long does Prolink last? I get pretty good service life out of plain old oil, and the dirt isn't that big a deal if you wipe the chain between rides.

Prolink is thinner than oil, but it doesn't come off on wet rides. Oil is a whole lot cheaper, too. -- Phil, Squid-in-Training
