Chain Grease on My Right Leg

[Crankin]

Watch how close your calf is to the chain..
I use orange degreaser to take the grease off of my skin. I have put it on cycling clothes (a little to pre-treat), but generally I use regular stain removal stuff on clothing.
I don't have this problem much, as my DH and son teased me mercilessly when I first started riding, about the chain tatoo being the mark of a newbie. My friend, who has been riding for 20+ years, always has a large one when she finishes a ride. I think when she got her new bike, this started, so it's something about the geometry.

That's why I wonder if I should have gotten an XS in a hybrid. It NEVER happens on ruby which is 44cm

It happens more often with my road bike than with my CX bike, oddly enough. Roadie has a much more sloped top tube, whereas the CX is a more traditional geometry. I don't really care. I just scrub it off when I get home. (The cleanser I use on my face works quite well, actually.)

You can use Simple Green on your clothes, but you run the risk of getting your pants caught in the chain. Much easier just to scrub your leg off.
