Lubed my newish chain at the weekend using Finish Line wet and the Mickle method. Checking the chain each evening it's always covered in black gunge, even in the dry. So I wipe most of it off. Next evening, more black gunge has appeared as if by magic.
So, a couple of questions:
1 Why is there always more grinding paste black gunge on the chain than the oil I applied (sparingly)?
Is it just another bane of the cyclists life like p******es, squeaks and clicks that are still there after a full strip down and rebuild, and idiot drivers?
2 Should I be wiping it off (PITA every day) or leaving it on?
