So, I'm having a brand-spanking new chain installed this year and I'm not gonna touch it with degreaser. It'll only be cleaned by the application of self-cleaning lube. I'll let y'all know in a few months how my chain looks.

Has anyone else here already tried this?
I've wanted to try this, but I always have trouble getting the gook that comes on the chain off - and I think you have to do that before you can use the nice self cleaning lube - don't you
