Ok, thanks. I see no corrosion on the chain, but the remaining dirt is pretty dry and hard, requiring more of a scraping than I am used to in cleaning a chain. I think I’m reaching a point where I can compromise and leave a little grime after improving on the dire state the drivetrain was in when I started.
