It's hard to believe a bike can get that dirty that quick. I washed it THOROUGHLY 2 rides ago (about 100 miles). I didn't take the chain off but I did have it pretty clean, where does it come from?
I hope this chain is long enough to test the current DR with, if it doen't work I'm sure that a different DR will require a unique chain length.
