But even though I don't swamp it and I wipe it after and gear oil is thicker it still flings off and some ends up on the side of the tyre. After the first 50 or so miles its ok but still annoying.
I used to use putolone chain tech - see pictures, but even that still flung off.
Your over lubing it try to reduce it.
I wouldn't recommend any spray on lub, for the reasons given as such personally I don't use and haven't used spray on chain lub for over 20yrs.
These dry lubs I mentioned are from what some owners have told me about and looking at their bike chains. They're Teflon not silicon as I said earlier having now spoken to the chap. Now it's very possible they're over egging what they're telling me i.e. how often they use it, how much they use and/or how often the clean the bike.
This is the stuff he uses and others have followed, now we're talking but 4 bikes here, but all the chains are in good condition and the bikes are clean just keep in mind what I said above. DuPont Teflon Chain-Saver Dry, Self-Cleaning Chain Lube I've no idea where you get it, he got it form another chap who we can't no longer get hold of, but he did say it was expensive and they all bought a dozen cans each, so it suggest to me from the US.
I'll state it again I'm not recommending you use this, or any spray on lub, good old (strained) used engine oil in a SO is the way to go, or just brush on gear oil. It's way cheaper and better.
