For a clean chain you can switch from a conventional lube to wax based lube. It’s a relatively involved process (You need to degrease your chain before application) but it keeps the chain relatively dry and clean. (Plus it’s slightly better performing than other lubes).

Scientific measurements or it didn’t happen. I think wax underperforms lube, prove me wrong.

See page 63 for efficiency and 64 for longevity.

The graph on page 64 is confusingly labeled, but the numbers indicate "watts expended before wet dirty run" - "watts expended after".
