i am a motorbiker. chain cleaning and lubing is essential for steady wear rate and prolong chain life. also a lubed chain is less noisy than a dry one. but that is on motorbike. on bicycle where less torque (relative to a bike) are applied on the chain and cogs, i may understand your view.
however habits just die hard and i would lube it with a thin coat of oil when possible. just like my motorcycle chain, i would wipe with a rag cloth soaked with WD40, leave dry, then just run a line of singer oil onto the whole chain and then go for a short ride to cycle through all the cogs. however singer oil is a tad too wet so some fling-off are possible. old engine oil meanwhile is dirty as they grease up with dirt over time. dry lube looks dirty to me too.
Motorbike highspeed ler, different. That one sure need lube.however habits just die hard and i would lube it with a thin coat of oil when possible. just like my motorcycle chain, i would wipe with a rag cloth soaked with WD40, leave dry, then just run a line of singer oil onto the whole chain and then go for a short ride to cycle through all the cogs. however singer oil is a tad too wet so some fling-off are possible. old engine oil meanwhile is dirty as they grease up with dirt over time. dry lube looks dirty to me too.
WD40 I dare not to try, it looks like it makan everything for me, from rust to oil, it just makan all.. Apocalyptic!

dry lube is suppose to attract less dust n won't have that much stain when u accidentally touch it.
try it, tho it might be pricey.
I'm thinking to try candlewax on the chain. Workable?try it, tho it might be pricey.
And I've a few bottles of car waxing liquid(just spray and let it dry type), workable?
