Bicycle Chain Lube

Pros:-Drivetrain feels smoother and quieter-Bike and chain are always clean to the touch-Double-boil technique with a can seems to be faster and easier than using a slow cooker.Cons:-Each application takes over an hour, minimum-I rarely got 200 miles out of one application-If the road is at all wet, you will need to re-wax before your next ride.-Buying a quick link every two weeks gets expensive, even reusable ones-Claims of increasing drivetrain longevity seem to be greatly exaggerated.-You will need to sacrifice a pot to use as a double boiler, wax will drip into the water at some point and there will always be some residue left, so you can't use for cooking any longer.While I'm going to continue waxing my bike chain and working on my application technique for now, I would not recommend to a friend. When this can runs out, I may try a different brand of hot wax, however so far the cons slightly outweigh the pros. Cleaning and waxing the chain is a laborious process that I have to do at least every two weeks. I find that the wax dissolves so quickly it actually increases the wear on my drive train. My Shimano Ultegra 11-speed chain, which I've only used with this wax, just reached 50% wear at only 800 miles. I follow the instructions to the letter and my chain always seems to have plenty of wax in the linkages after the bath, then re-wax as soon as I hear any squeaking or if the joints appear dry. Nevertheless but so far my chain has worn significantly faster than if I had just used Triflow. I'm going to shorten my wax interval to only 150 miles, however it will be frustrating having to wax nearly every week (more often if I have to so much as ride through a puddle). Unless you're obsessed with racing and squeezing out every watt, I would stick with oil-based lube.I also tried using the Speedmaster drip wax, but it's also difficult and messy to apply and was only good for adding an hour or two of extra use to a chain.

Amazing results and I did not have to buy 1.6 micron PTFE and wax. It appears pricey but it is put together right so it is actually very economical.the key to using wax is to make sure that your chain is surgeon clean. I use three steps. Step 1. gasoline agitated in a a sealed glass jar for 20 minutes. Old pasta sauce jars work well enough and are free after you eat the sauce.Ste 2. I scrub the chain with a toothbrush and Dawn detergent, both sides. Step 3. Anther jar with degreaser. I use Simple Green full strength for 30 minutes to remove all the petrol and then rinse in hot water. Step 4. a thrid jar with mineral spirits to be certain it is really clean and pure.Air dry then make a dipping device with a old wire hanger and wax it for 20-30 minutes.Take it out and lightly wipe it off. It will be hot so use gloves. Let it cool and the run the chain around your gloved thumb to loosen it. An wooden knob on a drawer in the garage works even better. Mount it up and ride away.If you see wax flakes on your components use a dry paint brush to flick them off.In dry weather, we (3 of us in our family are road bike riders) are getting about 600 miles before rewaxing. No more oils...dirt magnets. Start waxing and you will never go back

Totally worth the very slight hassle vs using your generic squeeze on wipe off chain lube. I'm a road cyclist averaging 150-200 miles per week with a mix of high speed 20mph+ average rides on flats and some mountain climbs reaching 6k feet elevation. I can really feel the difference right after application. Pedaling feels so much more smooth. I'm getting about 300 miles before needing to re-bath the chain, which is right between the stated distances for reapplication. Oh, and I'm located in SoCal, so it's pretty dry out here. However, YMMV!One of the perks is having your chain super clean... and I mean clean enough to show off to people by swiping your finger on the chain and revealing that your finger isn't smeared with grease or dirt AFTER a century ride!Definitely give this a shot! I was on the fence at first due to the fact I that have to remove my chain and felt that it was quite a hassle. But the result is totally worth it!

This is my first time waxing my chain. I love what a great job it does but didn't like the fact that it flaked off on my bike.

After wax application, I felt like I was riding faster than C.Froome!.... Maybe.. But it did help, at least with my own PRs. It kept my bike chian clean for 250ish miles with light wiping after every other ride. And best of all, my chain felt more smooth than it's ever been.one thing i would liike to suggest is wish they had a video tutorial on top of the images they currently have.

"It's the best I have used on my chain since I started riding. It's been three years it's the first time I can't hear my chain noise when I ride. My bike runs very smooth, very quiet, and no extra gunk on/in the chain or cassette. Enjoyed the first ride with waxed chain!!!

So far the wax has lasted 360+ miles on my road bike, which involves a lot of climbing miles. Pedaling feel smooths and its sooo quiet. Re-application of lube is very simple. Minimal cleaning is required. No way I'm going back to the old Finished Line lube. Excellent product!

Smooth as silk!! Shifting is much more quiet now as well!

only problem with this product, you need to made your own tool to take out the bike chain before you soak your chain in hot wax... maybe they can provide something basic to handle the hot chain ?
