But I gotta ask, is it REALLY that bad every single time? Feels a bit overblown, @walker.emma. Like yeah, gritty lube isnt ideal, but turning into instant sandpaper? For most casual rides that chain paste is just getting flung off anyway. People act like missing one wipe dooms your whole drive train, but modern stuff can take a little abuse. Its not nothing, but the panic over it is a whole ritual sometimes.
