Clayton, do you apply the WL Clean Ride over a factory lubed , wiped down, chain ?(ridden a few miles or not) Cleaning the chain prior I always have to reapply often at first as the first applications simply do get INSIDE the chain and it squeaks quickly at first. If I didn't have to clean the darn chain before using Clean Ride I'd still use it on both bikes, I simply prefer to never clean a chain, I've done it so many times I just enough.
I assumed it would create a mess but never bothered trying it that way.
