There is no shortage of superior lubes out there. Dare I say it? Even oil.
That has not been my experience. I’ve been using it for more than 20 years now. Chains on just about everything I use it on from road bikes to touring bikes to mountain bikes (in dirty, dusty conditions) last 3500 to 4500 miles. I am actually tracking a current chain on one of my bikes to see the interval of lubrication and wear. So far, at almost 900 miles, the chain shows less than 0.5% wear and has been relubricated 3 times at roughly 300 mile intervals.
