Re: Recommendations for chain drive lubrication?

We use DuPont Chain Saver. It seems to soak in well, and it dries, so there's not sticky grease or oil for dirt or contaminates to stick to. How often to re-lubricate depends heavily on how much use the chain sees. During competition we would re-lube our drive chains 1-2x a day.

FWIW 95 has had fine luck with #25 series chain, we even used it in our drive-train last year. It is perfectly reliable when implemented properly.
