As I have posted several times, I am in the "wet" lube corner. At least once a year I remove my chain and clean it in kerosene using a brass bristle brush. I change out the kerosene two or three times. I then hang the chain up to completely dry for 3 or 4 days, then put it back on the bike. I then lube it with Mobil 1 one drop per roller. Then as mentioned I run the chain backwards and dry wipe until chain is fairly dry. I also dry wipe the chain before every ride. After 6000 miles my Park chain wear tool has yet to indicate .75% wear.
