All I have to do is not ride for 2 days, and it's frozen. Was again last night, and many of the gaps between rollers were clogged solid with rust-colored ice. I really need to start lubing on friday night before I let it sit for a few days.

FYI, this chain is new, it's been on the bike for 3 weeks now.

One bonus is that since I've switched from the crappy $12 freewheels that the bike shipped with to freehub+cassette, the cogs aren't all worn out after one worn out chain. I think the freewheels must be made of really junky steel.
