How often should I lube the chain?

[redbirds_imp]

I lube the chain about every three to four hundred miles. First, if it is grimy, I wipe it down with a rag and WD-40. Dry with another rag and then lube sparingly with Tirox Synthetic chain wax. Allow the chain wax about a half hour to dry before riding. On a trip I do this at days end. The chain is factory lubed with grease and sealed by O-rings. A light lube with chain wax prevents rust and protects the seals. Keeping the chain adjusted to factory spec and regular cleaning and lube will benefit in long sprocket and chain life.
