Another lubrication option for non o-ring chains would be submerging them in melted wax. Supposed to be very low drag and very clean as well. I tried in on the o-ring chain on my CBR, and I think it made a difference. I didn't clean the rear wheel at the time, but it should keep it clean. There are discussions going on about how waxing o-ring chains is useless, but I can't tell if they are talking about the spray wax, or the melted wax method.
