Sprinting, Excessive Sugar, Active Recovery, and More – Ask a Cycling Coach 370

Damn you guys beat me to it… 1,000,000% better than wet lube for sure.
If you are worried about quick links, get a hold of the zimmerman quick link. Can take it off without tools in about 1 sec. Super handy if you happen to thread your chain through your derailleur wrong and have to do a road side re-thread in about 9degC while your mates sling shit on you for using a waxed chain… don’t ask me how I know…

Quick note, make sure you do a quick 5 min spin outdoors before a trainer session or else your trainer will look like it needs head and shoulders!

Even my crazy dusty gravel race left the bike covered but chain was spotless and still fast. No possible way oil based works as well.

Nice. When i get some time I have to convert our mtbs, but converting from a well used drivetrain is time consuming :frowning: might just wait till the next chain replacement.

No kidding. I just couldn’t understand the rationalization of not taking two full botles and buying an S-Works frame and then throwing away 5-10 watts running a conventional chain lube. As was mentioned, experienced cyclists train all year for a 5 watt increase in FTP. Throwing those gains away on something as simple as waxing a chain is just nuts. You can clean and got wax once and then do another 1000 miles just using drip wax lube.
