I occasionally clean my drivetrain. A couple of weeks ago, I did my cassette and rear derailleur. Now I have to clean my chainrings. This prevents grime from getting in the chain.

I pretty much oil everything often when it's picking up salt. I clean and shine thoroughly when I get around to it, maybe not until spring.
