Because of ACF-50, it takes a couple of days to dry out. This is when dust can be attracted. I have never really tried to dry it out, with a compressor or otherwise, so I cannot comment how it would work then. Without disulfide, I use it on any other bike or car component and it penetrates dirt if it mattered. The constituents are standard off the shelf retail.
Cool, thanks. I'll look into that some more.

I bet the insides of the rollers and the pins keep oil on them long after it rubs or washes off the sideplates.
I've got a chain cleaner (Muc-off) but its a pain to have to do that after every wet ride, which here is most of the time! Nonetheless, probably some of the best £15 I've ever spent.
