Slowdave,
What I stated goes for both standard and ring chains.
And the word "permanent" as a discriptive for the pre-injected lube is a bit of a misnomer.
The lube between the pin and bushing will in fact become consumed.
Just because a wax dries up and keeeps anything from getting to the friction areas of the chain does not mean it is protecting the friction points.
I have found chain wax to be one of the worst chain lubes that can be used. In lubricity tests, chain wax is a miserable failure.
Many waxes will set up before any lube has reached the friction area.
On a ring chain, it is even more important to not have any sort of sticky, gooey crap on the chain. Waxes and thcik lubes full of tackifier are only inviting dirt and debris to have a feast on your rings.
Again, a penetrating dry-film is the absolute best lubricant that can be used on a chain.
