Sorry, mate, your opinion is usually spot on, but that's straight up
********. The last five chains I've mounted on either single speed or
fixed gears, I've simply wiped the excess lube off and ridden as is. No
black gunk, no major residue, just a noisy drivetrain after a few
hundred miles. You've seriously been wasting your time.
Is Prolink good? Yarr, it's fine stuff, but so is just about anything
if you don't leave schmutz on the outside of the chain to attract dirt.
