I have checked it a few times and it was ok, I havent checked it since I started riding it regularly the last 2 weeks. I am swapping my tires wed/thurs so Iiwll give it a look then.

An old local mechanic go tme into the habit of cleaning my chain. if it was dirty/rusty he would yell at you, so I started doing it so I wouldnt get yelled at if nothing else. if I wasnt going on and off hte jobsites so much I wouldnt have to clean it as much.

Apparently there is also debate on chain cleaning too, but I do buy into not using too much lube as it can help collect dirt/debris if its realy globbed on there.
