The cleaner condition is at the expense of the need for way more frequent re-lubrication, I suppose some lubricate before each ride, unless they ride only short spins of 10-20 miles.
From what I read around here, some take lubricant along for the ride to lube the chain after some 30-40 miles on longer rides.
