So I was cleaning\lubing my chain the other day and noticed that there were some rusted parts.  There were spots of rust on the outside of the plates, of which I was able to remove most.  But there was some on the inside that I couldn't get off.  I used wd40 to clean and then pj1 blue label to lube.  It wasn't horribly rusted but it's noticeable.  Will this be a big issue?

IMO rust on the plates is a non issue.

When you see rust coming from inside the rollers it's an issue.

Side question:

How's you experience w/ the PJ1? I got LOTS of fling w/ that brand and switched to Maxima Chain Wax and now I'm on Dupont Teflon Chain Lubricant.

The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!

PJ1 Blue will not fling as badly as black.
