I am regular wipe down, one roller at a time, Dumonde Tech guy - love that stuff.
But, I'm also struggling with rust on my XT 12S chain - mostly on the outer link plates. I'm in the midwest, I'm almost exclusively riding in the dry. 95% of the moisture my chain sees is my sweat, disgustingly enough.
Anyone else have this issue? Not sure if it's the chain, or the nature of the Dumonde Tech stuff in that it's not quite the same dousing/percolating effect that a thinner lube like T9 might have. I was a T9 guy for like 15 years, but I really like the quieting effect of Dumonde Tech and found it generally much lower maintenance - less applications, less cleaning. I did find the old squirt and squirt and squirt some more approach with T9 better on my fatbike this winter- riding in legit snow all the time its just impossible to avoid a huge amount of moisture sticking to your drivetrain, and after 1000 calories burned at -3F, I just don't want to hang out in the garage and wipe everything down while the sweat starts to freeze to my body.
