New Chain Time = Sprockets too ?

[fazersharp]

Another thing to mention, i spent decades using proper spray chain lube thinking it was the best thing since sliced bread, yet after trialing using engine oil instead put on with a paint brush i can really see and feel that the chain is in a much better condition than it ever was than when it was gunged up with lube.
Nothing sticks to it any more so it looks cleaner for starters and when the oil is very quickly applied with the paint brush on a warm chain i can immediately see that every single link is getting a good covering, whereas i can now understand that it would be fairly easy to miss just one link using the spray lube which in turn can then become that weakest link that you suddenly feel through your footpeg further down the line.   

It was after reading you previous posts about this that I have decided to go down the same route with my new chain. I Have used can lube for 18 years. My riding is only in the dry = dust and grit in the air. Looking at the condition of my rear sprocket I should not be having a tight spot or wear on a chain with 22k miles..
But because it is white I can see where it is going
