RE: Cycling: Do you check your chain wear?

[mrprofessor]

Just in time to become a chain expert xD
Chain maintenance is a huge subject, because each one os us has a way to work on them, ride in different conditions, etc etc

I, for example, use dry lube; @friendlymoose uses wet lube (i guess).

You're right! I use wet lube because I also ride in bad weather conditions.

How often should I grease it, how often should I clean it?

To answer these questions; You should grease it after you have cleaned it. And how often do you have to clean it? Just have a good look at your chain. The chain must be clean. The grease should be inside the chain links. When your chain gets black and dirty of the grease it will attract sand and mud which is a sign you should clean it.
