I'll resist the temptation to scrape off sufficient grease from my new
chains still in the box to analyze. Sticky goo, that collects quite a
bit of dust to produce a tar like coating has been my experience.
While I realize that this might be heresy, I think Sheldon was wrong
because the factory grease is a dirt magnet. However, I use NBC
(nothing but cheapest) chains, which may use a uniquely cheap grease.

A few years ago I needed to replace the rear sprocket thingy - it seemed
like a new chain to go with it was the right thing to do (the chainwheel
looked OK).

The sprocket doofer was Shimano and the chain was lower middle price
range - the chain was knackered after a few months.

I don't have a sprocket doofer! Do I need one?

If you're too technical for your shorts - you need a sprocket doohickey.

I believe that the well equipped cyclist will have not only a Doofer
but also a Doofer Wrench :-)

Some people are just a doofer...................
