>>1294330Guys the ultimate secret hoarded by the elder cycling gods is chain waxing. I simply can't believe the amount of money i spent on meme lubes over the last 20 years of cycling like "White lightning" and "rock and roll" and fucking mess they have caused and the pants that have been ruined by chain muck.
WAX. MAN. There are a more than a few articles about some pro meme wax with teflon and molybdenum added being the ultimate in low rolling resistance but the truth simple paraffin candle wax in your home will get 99% there. The catch ? it doesnt last forever and you need to remove your chain every few weeks to reapply so you will need a quick link disconnect installed in your chain if you dont already have one.
Just disconnect you oily chain. Soak in fresh kerosene over night and let it dry. It has to be totally clean no residue. Find that old rice cooker in the cupboard you never use ( you can also use a glass coffee jar on a stovetop ) throw in some candles. Melt. Find an old coathanger and make some hooks. Throw chain in for a few minutes. Remove and let the wax dry. Reinstall chain. BAM
SUPER CHEAP. SUPER CLEAN. SUPER LOW FRICTION CHAIN FOR LIFE.
