> Because of the penetrating/cleaning/anti-rust properties combined it has the tendency to give a super clean chain with not a lot of dirt in it (unlike any other pure lubricant since those just attract and accumulate dirt). And just enough lubricating properties to get some mileage out of it (don't remember, 200km or so), as long as it doesn't rain. This is basically the theory behind Rock'n'Roll's lubes [1] (and perhaps other dry lubes, i don't know): > Rock'N'Roll chain lubes are formulated to clean and lube at the same time when applied. EXTREME, ABSOLUTE DRY and GOLD go deep down into the links, trapping dirt and floating it to the surface where you can wipe it off. Rock'N'Roll chain lubes create a protective membrane that keeps new dirt out and the lube inside, where it's needed. So you douse the chain with it, run it round to work it in, then wipe off as much as you can - the stuff you wipe off carries away loads of filth, and the bit that stays behind dries to leave a wax/teflon layer on the working surfaces of the links. Or something. Whatever it does, it seems to work pretty well! [1] https://rocklube.eu/en/12-chain-lubes https://rocklube.eu/en/12-chain-lubes
