But it's so easy to remove the chain on the Curve. No chainstays!
If you don't use any oil after cleaning the chain won't dirty as easily (although you might consider dipping it in melted wax immediately after cleaning to force out any water that worked it's way in during cleaning). Mine doesn't get much dirtier than the chainstays.
