"Case in point: White Lightning Epic Ride was the least-efficient lube Smith tested at 8.9W, and also yielded one of the shortest chain lifespans in Kerin’s tests, lasting less than 3,000km before hitting that critical 0.5mm mark. At the opposite end, a chain treated with Molten Speed Wax ate up just 4.2W of rider energy in Smith’s testing, while outlasting Kerin’s 6,000km-long wear testing procedure (and proving in the real world, with real riders, to go past 15,000km), something no drip lube has done as of yet."

Ha ha is this thread some sort of early April fools joke? The Sheldon Brown link then using a Rice cooker? I gave up using wax on my chains when we at London Underground stopped using heavy oils to lubricate escalator step chain. Basically the message is little and often and the lighter the oil the better because that is the only oil which will penetrate deep enough. Keep paraffin and other solvent cleaners well away from your chain if you want it to last.
