I have a general question about chain maintenance. My Current practice is to clean the chain with Simple Green, brush if needed and rinse with water. Sometimes a second application is needed. I then take a short ride to dry the chain and apply Lucas Chain Lube. This is completed every 500mi or so. The issue I am having is that the Lube makes a mess. After rotating the drivetrain around a few times, I wipe the excess oil off and allow it to drip for at least overnight. Even after having let it "dry" for a couple of days, when I go for a ride, I get oil splatters all over the rear rim. My question would be, is there a good chain lube that creates a dry film and would be good for at least 500mi between applications? I am tired of the mess on the silver rim and really don't like the idea of extra oil on the rear wheel.
