O-ring chain lube
with spray on lube as it's overkill and makes a mess. For years I've just wiped a foot long piece of the lower inner chain rollers
with black moly grease and it will transfer a sufficient amount to lube the sprocket teeth and the rest of the chain rollers. This lube
will last 500 miles minimum and on trips I carry some grease in a zip lock bag. Fwiw - I like DID chains.

Modern O-ring chains require no lube except for the contact area on the sprockets and the chain rollers. There's no need to mess
