I've read some of the postings on chain cleaning, and have undertaken it twice (although I didn't remove the chain). But both times, within the first ride, my chain was black and juicy again! Hence the nice chain tatoos I always seem to end up with. I wasn't sure how much lubricant to put on the chain after cleaning, so I'm thinking I overdid it... lol. My question is how do I tell how much to put on?

Thanks-
