How often should I clean my chain, expressed as the number of
miles traveled between cleanings. I've seen people say every 250 to 500
miles.I sense a troll.
But if not, do a search on this NG's previous postings for this subject.
Discussed to death many many times. No firm conclusions reached but many
good and bad ideas expressed./Robert

If you ride in clean conditions you could go a fairly long time. If
you ride in dirty conditions, 250 miles may be too long.

Doctors wash their hands after they eat, a bike mechanic washes his
hands before he eats...Quoted message said:
