    Do people lube the inner circumference of the chain rather than the outer?

    I think the theory here is that crap typically gets attached to a chain on the "outside" and lubing the inner reduces the collection of crap thrown up from the front tyre.

    Ya. Inner.

    Put the chain in the bottom cog of cassette. Make sure then that the chain is more or less parallel to ground. Also make sure you're not accidentally pulling the cleaning device towards you when spinning the chain (keep chain in a straight line)
    Thanks - I probably did the first, but may not have paid attention to the second, or have been aware of the third. I'll probably give the device another go :)

    How often are you guys cleaning your chains and cassettes? I am in the process of installing new tyres onto the bikes so might take this opportunity clean up the chains etc.

    Once a week.

    Occasionally I let it go for two weeks just to experience the difference between a clean chain etc and a dirty one. The difference is to be experienced. You gain a gear or two tbh.

    I use the Park Tool as it was the only one you can get spare parts for. I've used a Lidl one too and it was fine.
