Gave my bike a good clean all over this afternoon. After removing the dirt from it I then lubed the chain. Only problem is that I now realise (having used this forum's search function 5 hours too late!) that I put far too much lube on the chain, rear cassette and chainring. Rather than carefully putting a drop on each link I more or less just sprayed it all over.
at the time I didn't realise that too much could be too bad due to the lube picking up dust.
The bike is back in my shed for the night now. But I want to get straight back on it tomorrow morning. Would the best thing to do simply be to get a dry rag and wipe it all over the chain to remove the excess?
By the way, what is the proper method for lubing the cassette and the chainring. Do you squirt lube directly onto the space between the sprockets and apply it onto the teeth of the chainring?
Many thanks
