How often are you cleaning your drivetrain? I've been cleaning mine, with a fresh chain lube-up, then after one ride (I usually do a 10-ish mile loop on my local trails) it looks filthy again and is very gritty (you can hear the grit when the bike gets pedaled on the stand).
It seems excessive to have to clean prior to every ride. I don't want to be nuts about it, but I also don't want to wear out my drivetrain prematurely either.
So, what's typical around here? And what's the best product/method for blasting grit and gunk off the cassette? I was thinking of getting some citrus cleaner in aerosol. Something with the shooting power of say a can of brake cleaner.
