Video: 9 Tips for Maintaining Your Bike Through the Winter with Christina Chappetta
@mildsauce91: I would say nothing is wrong with it as long as you're getting your desired performance and durability from your chains. If that's the case just keep doing what you're doing....
BUT, when you consider a chain is just a continuous row of roller bushings, pins & plates (with NO SEALS) rubbing against each other under heavy load, it's quite critical to keep a lubricant in between those parts. Most lubricants don't mix well with water, and water in fact displaces and/or dilutes many of them. So spraying water under any sort of pressure into this unsealed system is less than optimal.
Even if you lube your chain immediately after, there's still water stuck in there...

Take off your wheels first. A lot easier to get to many of the nooks & crannies...
And if you spray your chain with a hose, you're a savage.

They would wonder what that plastic thing is on Braydon's head, and be totally confused by the levers on the bars.

Granted Lori Loughlin was probably locked up during the filming of this... but where are you Bart Conner?!!
