Once you wax, you'll never go back!
A waxed bike chain is more efficient, much cleaner and improves drive train longevity on your bike. It is SO MUCH BETTER than oil based lubricants.
However, many cyclists are put off because they believe the process is too hard, takes too long, or is too expensive. It is actually not that difficult!
In this video I'll walk you through the step by step process for chain hot immersion waxing, including everything you need to get started. I've listed all the items you need below, and have included a link to Zero Friction Cycling who I believe to be the OG's of chain wax wisdom.
