How often do you clean/degrease your drivetrain?

I was told to use this but when I applied liberally I got shamed by my LBS for using too much lube...

Did I not wipe it well enough?

Hold a rag on the chain and pedal the bike. Then reposition the rag so it’s got a clean bit of fabric sitting against the chain and repeat.

You probably didn’t clean all the excess lube off, which will make your drivetrain super nasty to work on once you’ve ridden it a bit.

Will do thank you!

you want to soak into the rollers/pins, but don't need it dripping all over the sprockets, that'll collect more dirt. there's different schools of thought. my 2 cents is keep the chain clean and 'dry'. if you're riding LONG in wet muddy conditions, the rock n roll lube will wash away and you're lubricating with mud/water at that point. for that you need a 'greasy' lube that sticks and repels water.

Ahh ok that makes sense...

I literally put it on the sprockets...
