Looking to upgrade my chain, I live in a humid area on Vancouver Island and constantly need to scrub surface rust off my chain. Which is normal for being so close to the ocean, but its rather unpleasant to scrub off so much every 500kms. Was hoping someone in a similar climate knows a good upgrade. Also, which type of material should my chain be made of for wet, rainy, salty, humid conditions? Any brands or type of chain material suggestions are greatly appreciated. Its my daily ride, so I would like to upgrade this sooner rather than later. I feel like my chain doesn't hold lubrication very well due to the rain and when it gets close to 500kms without a thourough clean and lube, it starts to noticably feel shittier when downshifting. The bike is past 10,000kms and I have serviced everything myself so far. I also think my links just don't hold the 80w-90 gear oil very long with so much rain, so maybe I need to switch to something else in the future for a new chain lubricant that can hold up in my climate. Any reccomendations for that would also be a internet high five for your suggestions.
