Exactly!
I have tried to "clean" my chain, but I really don't know how to do it. I put grease on... but it never seems to come "off". It's just always dirty! And then I add grease... and that doesn't help. UGH. I wish I could just pay someone to clean it for me.
As for my bike, I cleaned it for the 2nd time... in 2 years *gasp*... tonight. Sad, I know.
