Drive Chain upkeep
#16
I've always used the *Put a rag on the other side *Put a rag on the floor to catch the drips *Spray a section *Rotate *Spray another section method.

A year or two ago, I started using a Grease Ninja: https://www.greaseninja.com/ to do my chain lubrication. It's a simple, "why didn't I think about it" product that puts the lube in the center of the chain, and doesn't get overspray all over the place. It takes less time, too. I put a rag on the floor to catch the drips, lube while I slowly rotate the back wheel, and when I'm done, use the rag to wipe the chain.

Been using Maxima Chain Wax for years, and can't remember the last time I had to do a chain adjustment, other than during tire swaps. I only ride on paved roads in dry weather, so don't have to do much cleaning.
