Er...umm...when it strikes my fancy, I guess. Last time I did it because I had hurriedly put the wrong lube on it and the whole thing turned dark black (from the pretty silver it was with the other lube). I like the chain pretty on this bike. The bike hangs at eye level (directly above my dirty mountain bike), and seeing the abnormally clean and shiny chain makes me want to ride...although wanting to ride doesn't seem to translate much into actually riding, this year. -- Rick Onanian |

Yeah, but somehow, you're still getting in 100 miles a week, though, eh? -Badger Well, yeah, that's "not riding -much-"... |

The week that I said that to you was the last week I got 100 miles in. It may even have been the week before that. I'm down to a single tuesday night group ride, we do 20 to 30 miles each week. I was doing another weekday ride, solo, and a solo Saturday ride, weekly; but various other obligations have intruded. -- Rick Onanian |
