I think it is well lubed, the only catch is that I got a set of tools to degrease and clean the chain then lubed it again. I might did it in a wrong way. the cogs looks very dirty now. I just bought a new set of cassette and chain, I will try it again and see if the same thing happens.
Do you think I need to lube my new chain and cassette before first ride?
