Still happy with Smoove here so far, done a few more miles on it and it is smoove! A lot less messy than my old oil lube. Also I have put it on my daughter's bike chain and it's much less messy on her clothes and leg now.
Time will tell though.

Bought some squirt as a result of this thread, very impressive so far, chain much cleaner and quieter

Squirt's great except when it's not- every so often I'd go for a ride and it'd just shit the bed completely. It wasn't exactly really bad conditions, just really specific conditions I think. Never really worked it out, I just stopped using it because it was annoying me.

Squirt is great in dry conditions but like a few others I find it vanishes in the wet.
Which is a shame as I love not having a black greasy drivetrain. Maybe my degreasing isn't good enough?

Tried Rock n Roll Extreme for the wet but it seemed not to last that long either. I also seemed to be going through it at quite a rate when following the instructions on the bottle, which is expensive - do others that like it find this?

Got a free bottle of Finish Line ceramic wet lube at some point and I recently gave that a go. So far I've found it's lasted well in wet conditions and the chain isn't too filthy.

When I move and have a garage I'm almost certainly going to give Putoline a go.
