What's wrong with washing mud off with a garden hose? I ride all yar round and the hose has got nothing on the shit my bike (Cube / Bosch) gets in its face on the trails. I don't buy into the idea MTBs can't take a hosing, they need to be built well enough for that not to be an issue. To be...
Things I'd say to that:
Totally sypathise

Swapped out at just over 50% wear.
Shifting worked fine.
But now there is a constant thrum, no matter how I adjust the tensioner

Lubed the new chain before use.
Definitely same link count
