I know this is going to open a can of worms like asking whats the best oil... but what is everyone using for chain lube these days? Are PJ1 and Maxima Chain wax still the go to options?
The chain and sprockets on the 954 are in good shape so no need to replace them with my usual SuperSprox stealth and either DID or RK... But I've noticed there are a couple links that appear to be sticking a little so its getting a deep clean and re-lube in the next week or so.
So whats everyones preferred chain lube?

I've always used Chain Wax. Never had any issues with it.

wax on the barrels (surface contact area) only, I've gotten a solid 30+K out of a chain. Spraying the 0-rings just makes dirt stick.
