Sticky SRAM PC-830 Chain
I just put a new chain on my vintage build. I searched the forum and read from other users that they liked the SRAM PC-830 chain for 6 speed freewheels. So, I bought one.
This is the first time using anything other than a shimano chain. The chain lubrication seems extremely viscous and sticky. So much so that even after cleaning my sprocket and chain rings, after a few revolutions the gears are very dirty.
I usually keep my drivetrains very clean. I almost feel like I need to degrease this chain already.
What am I missing?
Does anyone recommend a different chain than the SRAM? Shifting is perfect by the way.
