>>1826328>grip the chain with a rag and spin the crank a bunch to get the surface lube off so it doesn't attract dust, road grime etc which will make a gritty paste and wear out the chain soonerPretty sure this is something I did wrong last time, not realizing what the whole idea of lube was. What kind of schedule for mileage between lubrication do you think is reasonable? I used a dry lube 450 miles ago - road cycling being my primary use with the occasional gravel. Very rarely I get caught out in a bit of rain or go riding when the pavement is still wet after the storm leaves. I think it's past time to do another clean and lube it properly this time.
