I use BelRay chain lube as well. resists breakdown really well. But it makes one hell of a mess. Ill put my bike on a rear stand in N and just spin the tire by hand and the rear of the rear sprocket where the teeth begin to mesh into the rollers making sure the lube gets pressed right up in there. and ill spay from the top down into the where the seals are. After i think she's lubed up like a prom date ill spray a solvent of some sort (parts cleaner or dw-40) onto a wrag and wipe the plates and excess lube clean. As for chain slack i normally run 1/2" slack up and 1/2" slack down with bike on the ground.
