I don’t mean after a wash. I mean
after you apply chain lube. You don’t want
any oil on the outside of your chain.
After you oil the chain and rotate the crank a few times to let the oil get into the links, get a rag, use it to grab the chain at the bottom, and while you’re grabbing the chain, run the cranks backwards several times to remove as much oil as possible.
