I find it depends on how much it rains and how much grit and dirt gets on the chain, one 50mile ride in the rain and my chain was done but in the dry it can go much further.
yes i agree , i only ride in dry weather so 150 miles in dry weather in the wet i don’t have any experience 
Hi Phil
it doesn’t appear that you are “over” using them, I haven’t experienced a click sound related to the chain, generally when they need rewaxing they will start to squeak.
Does the clicking go away after rewaxing?
The chains are new - how old are the chain rings/cassette?
Thanks @MikeMckinney Chain rings and cassette are fairly decent condition. Not much wear, but I will take another look, just in case I have missed something.
@Michael_Brooks All have been dry rides (thankfully). And a bit of indoor turbo use.
@Thomas_De_Kesel Gosh 150 miles, that is 2-4 rides! I guess teh problem is, that with wax, it is harder to assess chain wear, as teh wax takes up some of teh slack (more so than oil I would imagine). However I will swap chains and (see if I can) measure the (apparent) wear on the ones I have taken off.
General consensus seems to be - 1) check other wear and 2) yes change more frequently - esp. is they get wet.
Cheers 
I’ve got a teammate that runs his 4-500 miles between waxing and waits for them to start making some noise. I swap mine weekly on my main bike, which is typicallly 200-250 miles and they are always nice and smooth/quiet at that point. I just like having a fresh “like new” chain for my long saturday ride. I have 4 chains in rotation, so basically waxing once per month. I’ve only been waxing for a couple months, but I don’t think I’ll ever go back to regular lube.
I dont change mine until it is getting noisy, sometimes a ride or 2 after that because I forget
Josh turns chain waxing geekiness up to 11.
Just curious for people waxing chains, are you also reusing quick links?
I’ve used the reusable quicklinks on 3 bikes (1 road, 2 mountain) without issue.
Curious who makes these? I run Shimano DA 11s on road and Eagle X01 on MTB.
@Johnnyvee I don’t have the answer you’re looking for, but I get the same. I think it’s road grime, etc, that just get’s worked into the wax. For a time I put the chains through the sonic cleaner with hot water, and it helped, but the effect never really goes away. I decided it wasn’t worth the effort and just accept it. I keep a fairly minimal amount of wax in my slowcooker and occasionally add some more wax. But once it get’s grungy enough I pour it off and start fresh. Wax is cheap – 2 years and still on my first bag.
KMC. Make sure to get the reusable.
I also like to use the gold ones on standard chain so I can find them easier (I swear, as soon as I turned 50, my eyesight fell off a cliff…)
Re-using Connex quicklinks, here. I’ve been using the same one on my trainer for a number of years now – will replace it when the chains wear out. I replace it roughly yearly on my outdoor bike to be safe after a season of CX on it.
I have been using the YBN 5x rated quick links. On 4th use across two chains in my rotation and no problems at all - I’ve regularly subjected them 1 min efforts in the 500-600W range, but I rarely do short sprints and don’t exceed 900W. Seems like consensus is that of you are dropping well over 1000W sprints regularly you might want to be a bit more cautious.
So, question about indoor waxing. It’s getting to be the cold season up here and the garage is often below freezing. On that note, will I kill myself if I wax in the basement? It doesn’t have good ventilation at all, but I would think that just the waxing step itself wouldn’t produce that much outgassing? I don’t think I’d use the cleaners/strippers down there though.
I use MSW fwiw.
I think you’ve got it right. None of the cleaning chemicals but wax should be ok. I do my wax indoors all the time and the cleaning outside. Wax is not very volatile, especially at the temps we are using it at. I’ve got a crock pot with a cover which I keep on it, which way or may not do anything…
maybe a silly question, but do you filter and reuse the cleaning spirits after the initial chain clean in the mason jar? wondering how much of the cleaning spirit you go through removing the grease from a chain.
I use a coffee filter to filter out the some of the particulates in the mineral spirits and naphtha I use to clean the chain and remove excess wax from the chain/cassette. It doesn’t get it completely clean but does a good enough job for me that I don’t have a problem reusing the solvents. Once I de-gease a new chain initially I never do it again so I go through very little mineral spirits.
Uggh - literally dropped all my mineral spirits off at waste disposal this week. The used spirits had sat in my garage for months, so all the black gunk from new chain grease had even sunk to the bottom. The coffee filter is a great idea!
Has anyone seen/used the Silca Super Secret Lube? I kind of trust Josh from Silca to be honest. His stuff are expensive but from a quality standpoint they are top notch.
