I use Rock-n-Roll Gold ^^^^. I use the drip method. The video recommends lubing every 100 miles. Well, I average about 250 miles a week, so I'd be lubing almost every other day. I only lube when the chain asks for it. Every 2-3 weeks. I never clean my chain. I only wipe it down after a lube. With that said, I still get about 4,000 miles out of the cheapest KMC chains. I can't ask for anything more.
