I still say the whole lube thing is over rated. My experience has
suggested that my chain lasted as long as many who religiously lubed
their chain. 23k miles, and it was replaced due to a 5-8k mile trip, not
because it was out of spec.
The chain was cleaned using WD40 soaked shop paper towels and lubed
every 3-5k miles.
cheers,
Tom
