Does your chain have a total of 70 miles on it? Is it a new cain? There are differing opinions on what I'm about to say--IMO: New chains come with a heavy protective layer of grease or some ohther gooey material. I generally clean new chains before I install them, and then lube them with a light oil like White Lightning Epic. Some lubes are just grit magnets. There have been some pretty good discussions on cleaning and lubing chains on this forum.
