Wow, I must be the only OCD one on here...
I'm almost embarrassed to say that after each ride I clean my chain with a cloth and some ProGold. I wipe all the dirt and grime off, then go through each link and clean/lube the plate faces. The cassette gets a relatively straightfoward cleaning every week or so, though I clean the teeth when doing the chain. Then I clean each tooth on both chainrings and pullies. I then get out the detailing brushes and clean the f/r derailleur mainly to remove fine bits of dirt, etc. Oh and this is on top of wiping the wheels/tires down with a wet cloth, inspecting them for any damage, and cleaning any dirt/grit/dust off the frame with Meguiars Ultimate Detail spray. It takes me about 20-30 minutes after each ride, even longer when I go out in the rain. Heaven help me if I ever get a nice mountain bike...
Um yeah, I need help... haha.
