It's beyond me why people make such a big deal out of drivetrain maintenance. It's a 10 minute job. 12 if you do the chainrings too. bk
You'll never realize how much dirt and grunge you're missing by only doing this surface cleaning until you clean it your way and then remove the chain and give it a thorough flushing in a cleaner. Then you'll realize how much of the internal stuff you're missing.
