Ok, I'm now seriously considering this. I have a new chain and bought all the kit to strip the factory grease off of it. But I have two lingering concerns - please help me see through this:You would definitely need to resubmerge in a wax bath. But the beauty of wax is it attracts no dirt, or dust so you dont have to hose it off. Stuff doesn’t stick to wax like it does to lube.
You drive train stays completely clean. You can run your finger along the chain and it won’t leave any residue.
1) I will get my chain wet when riding in NJ, so it will start to rust without lube. How do you prevent the rusting?
2) I clean my bike almost after every ride. This includes hosing it off with bike-friendly hose. You say this will require re-waxing. This means either that I need to clean less frequently or I need to get a lot of masterlinks for the chain (and time/materials to wax). What do you do?
Thanks in advance for your input.
