On my SS bikes I get about 3,000 miles or so out of the a 3/32 multi gear chain. Wet lube and a wipe over when needed. I use steel rings and a cheapish freewheel.
Fixed on the road, sram PC1 chain, but Surly stainless rings and cogs. Wet lube, but actually try to keep the chainset clean. I get 3,000miles ish out of the chain. The ring and cog are about 12,000miles old and still going strong.
The nice bikes share a super toughness chain and that gets cleaned to fuck and has hella miles on it.
Oh I run a “ too loose” chain.
