Unpopular opinion: Spray lube is better than drip wax

Been running spray lube on my commuter for 6 months now. Drip wax made my chain squeak after 30 miles every time. Has anyone else had better luck with simple spray stuff in wet conditions?

Honestly, spray lube handles wet roads better without picking up as much grit.

Started spraying my commuter chain last fall and never looked back. Drip wax drove me crazy with that same squeaking you mentioned, especially in the damp mornings. Spray lube just keeps things quieter and smoother for me too, even after riding through a few rain showers. It is nice to find something that actually works without the hassle.

Same here @linda_dixon49, spray lube just works better on wet roads without all that grit buildup.
