Washed my bike and drivetrain today. Actually, both of them. Poor little mtn bike hasn't seen any love since I'd gotten it. Course I was ignorant before I came to this forum...

Now that I've seen the light, I can actually see the rear cassette again on the mtn bike (my commuter).

So now that I've scrubbed and cleaned, do I wait overnight for the chains to dry before I lube? Someone told me that so now I'm not sure. THe TE directions just say lube right after but just in case, I'm asking you experts out there.

It's also weird that the guy @ the lbs told me not to scrub the chain but to just wipe it down and the lube it. Said that it takes away the soaked in lube from the original manufacturer or something like that. I was confused but I just followed the TE's instructions and what everyone else on the forum seems to have done except I used the cheater chain cleaner. Hopefully that's ok.

Tks ahead of time.
