"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com
Random babblings and some stuff to look at.
I've switched to the Pedro's soybean oil based lubes and I've been VERY happy with them. Most lubes are extremely toxic, so it was great to find non-toxic chain and component lube that actually work! There's "Go!" low-viscosity lube for dry conditions and "Chainj" for MTBs and wet conditions. Love 'em both.

I found that it's cleaner, probably because you use less. Since I'm a distance rider, I need something w/a lot of staying power. Purple Extreme lives up to its promise of 400 miles per application (of course, could be a bit less if the weather is rainy).
I've used ProLink, which is fine; Pedro's Ice Wax (found it was a dirt magnet but I might not have been wiping it off the chain good enough); and Road Rage.
