...Thanks!
Also, let me add that for weekly maintenance (after every 2 or 3 rides), I run a dry brush over the chain, chainrings, cogs and pulleys. Since I use a "dry" lubricant (I prefer Progold), the majority of crap on my chain can be knocked off with a stiff brush. Then, I apply the lube to each pivot. The whole process probably takes 7 minutes. I ride mountain and typically in dry conditions (except for this past week in Southern CA).
I'm a firm believer in a quiet, smooth chain.
