With 850 miles on the bike I finally cleaned the chain with keresene and sprayed some lube on it. First time I've bothered to clean a chain before spraying lube.
On my old bike I just sprayed the chain down every 600 miles. My theory was that the dirt on the chain would become "lubricating particles" after being hosed down with some chain lube.
How important is it clean the chain before lubing it?
