Do it the easy way, with Dupont Chain Saver. Its wax based with teflon, and a carrier that evaporates. Works great but you need to respray every 75-100 miles. But its easy to apply, doesn't get dirty and keeps the chain silky and quiet. In low temperature non-pressurized metal to metal applications, teflon still rules.
This doesn't mean its better than the typical wet lube, but its a convenient alternative.
