As the OP - and someone who voted no in my own poll - feel obliged to let you know been out on my cx today and can't shift onto big ring now, almost certainly due to accumulate crud! So, whilst I know it'll still be filthy again tomorrow, I do actually feel now is the time for a clean. Maybe I should put a third option on poll: "Maybe, but only when forced into it by mechanical mishap!"

Conversely, I've had that same derailleur problem from too much cleaning.

I find this question educational as a newbie to cycling. I am of the notion to clean as often as needed but, I'm not OCD about it. I did just purchase a Tour Easy Classic yesterday that needed a good wiping down. The previous owner didn't seem to concerned on keeping it that clean. I.E. grease and grime all over the frame.
