Bought a crock-pot for $20 and constructed posts which straddled the pot. Posts held a steel rod for allowing the chain to drip into the crock-pot. Melting and applying the wax went smoothly, but freeing up the waxed chain after it dried was a pain.
I've done two new chains with this wax and Chip Strip, and with one cleaned w Silca's cleaner and then waxed with the same mix as the first two. I rode the 40 mi leg of Levi's Gran Fondo on 4/13/24. Smooth sailing. The other new chain I waxed is on the bike in my trainer. Both work fine. It's nice not getting slimed by these waxed chains.
I use this periodically and top up as needed with drip wax. I'm happy to have a clean chain and save the wear on my other components.
Great product, the bag is easy to add more wax to my pot if getting low, with 10-12hr rewax intervals I see zero chain wear
Perfectly works to coat every minute area of your bicycles chain. What more can you ask for. You also get the smoothest shifting chain ever.
I can't say I noticed any particular power savings, but not having to worry about getting oil on myself or my stuff is worth it alone. This wax works well and lasts long enough for me, I usually re-wax every 150miles and only need half the bag to fill up my wax pot.
easy to apply. lasts 500 mi
Worth the cost of admission. First time hot waxing my chain and I don't see myself going back to regular lube. Chain and drivetrain are running silky smooth, super clean, and very quiet. Lasts about 200 miles for me before needing to reapply. Get yourself 2 chains to rotate through and it's no hassle at all.
Newer to waxed chains. BUt this stuff seems to work great. Really clean.
I get 150 miles to 200 miles with this wax! Great wax!
I've only put a few 100 miles on this, but so far I'm impressed. Smooth, quiet and clean.
I have also waxed my wifes chain as well.
A little bit of a learning curve, having never hot waxed chains before, but so far so good.
The key to this working great is to ensure you have taken the many steps to strip a brand new chain to the bare metal. Take your time and you will be rewarded. Outstanding smooth and quit and efficient drive train performance.
Absolutely the best lube I've ever used since switching to this wax I have doubled the life of my DuraAce chains
Just started waxing my chain with this and it keeps things running very smooth and clean. I re-wax every 200 or so miles. It does flake quite a bit after the first application.
requires work but is bike is fast and chain is clean
Waxing chains leaves your bike and house so clean. Plus you save a few watts. Silca has put a lot of research into this new formula.
