I would but I just had a brand new chain put on. Haven't even ridden it yet.

Around here, they mostly argue about which is the "ultimate method" to clean and relube your chain. Equal time is given over to which lube is best, slipperiest, has the correct size molecules to get into the interstitial spaces on rollers and pins, yada yadda yaddda. bk
