First, it's a tiny amount per link/roller per application. The reason the cranks aren't spinning while the lube is being applied is to ensure that every roller/link gets lubricated.
.
Second, from the article:
_"Wolf Tooth says to re-lube at minimum every 643.75 kilometers of riding but firstly I don't keep track and secondly, Shore kilometers are hard kilometers all year round. As such, I use Dumonde Tech's methodology for knowing when to lube the chain: "Sound. Not distance, weather condition or time." It's always obvious when I'm due for some fresh oil and in the meantime, it keeps my drivetrain much cleaner and my wallet fatter not superfluously coating my bike in liquid gold."_
_"As mentioned, both products adhere very well to metal so they last multiple rides and don't wash off easily. In my mind using less, and not having to hit my drivetrain with a degreaser regularly, is a win for the products and the method."_
Where in the article is it suggested that a bottle of lube isn't lasting years in my home shop? We're a family of three, year-round, cyclists and I'm specifically noting the value in a tiny bottle of quality chain lube.
