One I highly recommend switching to hot wax. Yeah it's more time consuming but it's superior to any kind of oil and even drip wax. Either way the Silca StripChip makes waxing a factory chain insanely easy especially if you have the Silca hotpot to dial in the temps. I have used the a StripChip on three different chains and they have come out perfect each time. No need for stripping the chain and then cleaning it off. Just bump the chain in with one chip and just left the wax permeate the rollers and then dry. Not the cheapest product but unless you are stripping a new chain every other weekend, than one pack should last a good while.
I found that there was very little benefit to wall mounting bikes and wanted easier access to each, these seemed like the right solution and they have been. Works great with my kid's bike, and my road bikes and 29ers, forwards or backwards. I have a textured garage floor and they're impressively stable when removing and replacing bikes and the amount of arm through to capture the bike is pretty short, so you can keep them pretty close to the wall.
Purchased the medium size bag about 6 weeks ago and used it on at least 4, 100 - 140-mile road rides, (plus shorter rides) around Tucson AZ. Easily holds 5 energy chew bags, cell phone and a snack size sandwich bag for stashing cash and a small Allen wrench tool. The outside pouches are nice to store empty energy chew bags. The topside of the top tube on my bike is flat and over 1.5" wide, so the bag sits securely and without movement once strapped to the tube (a round top tube might have different results). The double zippers are a convenient feature allowing quick and easy access to either end of the bag. Overall, really satisfied!!!!
This is a game-changer. I've been using it for a few weeks and have only been happy with it. For the first few uses I checked it with my old, reliable analog gauge and always found it exactly right. It's so nice to get those few pounds in to make my ride perfect. I still carry a manual pump and CO2 on my ride, but am considering switching to one of these for on-bike usage, too.
