Tim,

All of the above are essential but if you are neglecting your chains
emotional needs then so be it :-)

Seriously though all I do is use a Lubetronic chain oiler and adjust
regularly.
The chain oiler tends to make the rear of the bike a bit messy but with
winter coming this is just extra salt protection.
