homebrew

ok, so ive been dabbling in the home-brew realm of chain lubes for a while. the idea of making my own things (for both financial reasons and curiosity) has always struck my fancy. well, i have been using my secret recipe of chain lube i now call HalLeLuByA- because its like a godsend- and its been great. i have ridden about 100 road miles on one lubing and my chain has been sorta clean and very very quiet. i really like the quiet factor. However, more than anything, its super cheap. i can probably make about 32 oz of it for the price of a 6oz bottle of pedros/progold etc. ok, so maybe it doesnt have a sexy name and supposed science behind it (someone needs to do independent lube testing for the betterment of the bike community) but it works for me. I do like chain L, im still a big supporter of it, but why would i spend 12 bucks on that when i can spend 8 for something that I CREATED. something that works. if you want to/can afford to buy name brand lube, i wouldnt say its a bad idea. However, id like to save money to spend on bike upgrades which i will be needing soon on a few bikes. i will not give out my secret formula yet, but once i perfect it i will a) be awesome to people and put my exact recipe online or b) be a dickhole and pretend like i can sell it and never tell anyone my "proprietary secret". i hope a works out for me because i hate proprietary things in the bike industry- they just piss me off!
