I have a routine If necessary; spray down the bike right after a week ride, but focus on keeping the drivetrain super clean and lubed!! Then after the weekend rides are over, give it a proper clean and leave no dirt/grime on the bike. (For my drivetrain I use Wurth brake cleaner, works like a bomb and safe to spray on anything) Always have a dry chain before lubing it. I like using a air compressor for this, those links are always wet after a wash and that’s the I’m only way to dry them 100%. Only lube ten minutes after drying. And silicone spray is the best thing to put almost everywhere but the chain and brakes obviously. Besides that it help dirt and water to flow off instead of stick to the bike. I use it on my cassette too, will work wonders!
