I am almost certain that SRAM advices against degreasing the chain. They pack them with that special "lube" -aka: greassy waxy thing that picks up a lot of dirt- and it is supposed to be the cat's meow.
If the search engine is up and running, you may want to look for threads on that issue -I know that it has been discussed at least a couple of times here.
Using a bit of tri-flo shouldn't be a problem, just wipe the chain down real good before riding. Any excess grease/lube on the outside of the chain won't help things.
yeah, sram uses some stuff called Gleitmo? There's been some good talk here about it in the past.
Bottom Line- it's a great lube! Don't degrease it, but once it wears off, apply your lube of choice.
