I didn't want to say it, but yeah. Cleaning cruddy cassettes and jockey wheels is time-consuming and/or gross. It's also something that anti-waxxers conveniently forget when crowing about how easy and trouble-free is it to stick with oil-based lubes. Frankly, it's one of the big reasons that I transitioned to wax a couple of years ago.
