chain removal

RE: chain removal
There is no correct way.
It is a tradoff.
Oil works great, actually the manual suggests using 80 weight gear oil or something like that. I don’t use gear oil, because it makes a mess. I will spray WD40 on a rag then wipe off the chain. If you saturate the chain with WD40 I guarantee that after the first ride your whole bike will be lubed.
My steel sprockets and DID X ring chain last about 15,000 miles about 2 sets of tires. I sometimes wipe the chain down with some solvent and a rag. I lube the chain with Wax.
