Chains are ever any other color? OK, mine are silver when I put them on. That lasts for about 10 minutes into my first ride.
Ah, the joys of commuting on gravel roads. I don't bother cleaning my chains much anymore, because they just get dirty again within minutes.
OT, nice ride today. Schools in michigan can't start until after Labor Day by law, but I'm shifting my schedule this week, getting up at 5AM. I **LOVE** riding in the dark, especially now that I have a fantastic new headlight. Plus, very little traffic and NO school traffic (at 5:30, even after Labor Day).
