I always use Maxima chain wax, it may not be the best out, but it's worked for me on all my bikes in the past years for over a combined 100,000miles. I don't know if i'd ever switch, just one of those things. Don't use white lithium on that...for that specific reason^^. a can is like $8 at any bike store.
