I read it in a thread about chain lube, either here or on BikeJournal. Rust inhibitor for shipping and storage vs. lube for riding.
Kalidurga and LBTC, where did you guys hear that the new-chain stuff was bad?
Maybe nice chains come with nice lube on them, but whatever was on my Surly was nasty sticky thick gritty honey-like goo.
I felt guilty that I hadn't cleaned it off as soon as I got the Surly home, it was quite yucky. I don't think I damaged anything by riding on it for a week, but at least it's in much better shape now.
A clean chain is a joy...
(so is a clean house, but I'd rather clean my bike!)
