Mickle Method . . . . Ride Wipe query

What is the reasoning for taking the bike for a two mile ride and then doing a final wipe of the chain after you've done the 'Wipe, Lube, Wipe Wipe Wipe' part of the process

I think he has a lot of wipes and needs to get rid of some.
Apart from that your guess is as good as mine :smile:

While good regular maintenance is a good thing, I got very 'into it' a few years ago when I used to commute. I had a lovely well oiled and generally clean chain. Trouble is, it didn't last appreciably more than any other chain, whatever I did. Well maintained or stupidly well maintained...it didn't really make much difference to the life of the chain.
Oil wipe and ride....mostly ride preferably.
