Tri Flow is a good lube for cables, shifter internals and ok for chains. I've been racing and riding bikes since 1979 and working in the bike industry since 1983. In my opinion, Rock n Roll gold is the best lube overall. Sure, there's cleaner lubes, and lubes that work better in wet weather, but bang for the buck mileage wise and ease of application (Too many things to do in a day for waxing), R&R Gold is my favorite. I made a torture test video about it a couple months ago if anyone is interested...
