Rub the chain down with a dry rag after every ride and reapply squirt liberally to the rollers, rub the chain between your fingers to help it penetrate, then take the excess off with a cleaner rag and job done. No degreasing, little mess.
Switching to squirt has saved me a fortune in time and degreaser. RE wet winter use, its not as lasting as a good wet lube - if its a cold wet ride my chain is noisy by 100km in, but considering how horrible wet lube is to live with its a small price to pay.

Been enjoying reading about this but as I have some squirt lube think i'll just stick with that for a bit on my road bike, mtb and commuter. Like hippy I keep my bike inside and get worried about the floors.
The instructions are beautifully simple but if switching to squirt mid chain or doing the new chain pre-clean, what degreaser/method gets the best results? Petrol?
And then when cleaning the chain (for example it ends up like this), it is quite clear to say don't degrease again so what would you do? Cheers
edit - you'd clean that with a stiff brush according to wiggle.
How does it do in the wet (context of year-round commuter)?
And do you just add more when the chain is loud?
Sorry for all the questions!
