I find that the 12 drops works for me. It ends up coating the chain with a bit getting on the cogs and rings,

One more satisfied customer, I guess! NFS is the one lube that from reports I would consider using in place of Molten Speed Wax. Must get around to buying some.

Question to you sandy/dusty/silty surface riders: I'd be interested to hear how NFS performs in dry conditions of this sort. I'm talking about the sort of surfaces where even a single 10 mile ride will coat everything from top tube to drivetrain and disc calipers in a thick coating of dust. (Dust is the principal reason for using fenders on my Matthews; doesn't keep all the dust off, but it certainly lessens the amount on things above the knee.)

Also, for longer-term users: Did Michael overdo the application? Do you really need to put a drop on only 12 links out of N?

So.... I bought a bottle of NFS (Nixfrikshun) for my trust Saluki, now dressed up in brandy new TA rings.  I followed the instructions to put a drop on 12 links and spin the chain backwards 12 times.  There was no sign of any lube on the big ring, so I added 4 more drops and spun 12 times.  Still no sign of any lube.  Added 4 more drops & spun.  No sign of any lube, but this time I lightly rubbed a finger across the chain and could feel just the thinnest film of oil.  Went out for an hours ride on dirt roads.  The bike ran quietly, or as quietly as tires can roll over loose dirt, shifted flawlessly; certainly no chain squeak. Returning I checked the rings & chain and saw a small amount of lube on the rings.  No visible dirt.  Wiped the chain and the big ring down.  

I'm definitely impressed and thanks to Robert Tilley for the suggestion.
