I recently switched to Squirt Lube. I thought I was pretty meticulous about cleaning my drivechain beforehand, but I'm getting lots of black waxy lumps on the floor under my bike.
I suspect the degreaser I used on the new chain (it was a Japanese brand, not a famous one) didn't work especially well, even though I cleaned the chain 3 or 4 times.
Accepting that I wasn't thorough enough about cleaning my drivechain first, I am planning to attempt the process again. My question is though, if the drivechain is absolutely pristine before application, will I still get lumps of wax falling off? I'd assume they'd be white rather than black in that case.
Sorry if it seems a weird question, but I'm not fond of waxy bits laying around the bike!
