After reading that I realized all that greasy stuff I was using and cleaning off my rear hub and spokes was only protecting the chain from rusting.
I changed from messy chain lube to Tirox synthetic chain wax. No more grubby spokes and rear hub. It can be removed with chain cleaner, I use Motul. It is also easy to see when you spin the rear wheel what you have sprayed because it goes on white and then dries clear. No more dreaming about an aftermarket shaft drive for my CB.

Dreaming of an aftermarket shaft drive? You mean there might be hope?
