Man switched from Dumonde tech to waxing and then topping off between rewaxes with a wax drip lube. I'm using silca hot melt wax, and the Silca SS drip lube to top off between. Absolutely love it. Chain stays so much cleaner, and the wax flakes off any gunk on the cassette idlers etc. I usually top off using the drop per roller method once a week. Then once a month take chain off drop in boiling water which melts out the wax and actually flushes out contaminates. Let chain dry and pop it into the crock pot of wax. Pull it out put it on bike, done. No more scrubbing or cleaners/degreasers etc. Also tons of data showing it actually saves money due to lower component wear. Zero friction cycling has done tons of controlled wear testing. [https://zerofrictioncycling.com.au/lubetesting/](https://zerofrictioncycling.com.au/lubetesting/)
At the bottom right of page are individual reviews of the lubes and their performance in different conditions (including wet and dirty conditions).
