Hey guys, I spent a vigorous 4 hours on a bike clean today, (included cleaning and re-lubing the chain) and boy nothing beats the feeling of a clean bike!

Well I just got back from a couple hours ride for sunset, when on the way home there was a slight damp spot in the road, I slowed down since there was a stop light a few hundred feet ahead, and just coasted through @ 15-20 mph somewhere between there. Well my question is, should I reclean my whole chain from that 1 damp spot? Or is alright? I know there's some controversy on when and what amount of water is acceptable or not, but then I also know there's people who won't let 1 drop of water get on a chain without a whole re-clean.

So where/when do you draw the line on when to clean your chain because of water?

 

You have to clean your chain when you drop water on it???

vlad - that's probably one of the most idiotic, and rather useless response(s) I've heard yet on a forum. +1

 

Now now girls. Deep breaths.

You'll be fine man. Don't sweat it.

Just make sure to spray it down / clean it every 400 or so miles and you'll be way ahead of the game.

 

Thanks ^
