Chain lube????

[one piece crank]

Not on my enduro bro bike. Just on bikes that watts matter on.

So, no lube = more watts ???

Wax = more watts

What if all 4 watts matter, is it a big operation with more bikes

One more pro wax comment and then I’m out. The drivetrains I’ve used wax on have had zero wear.
Same chain and XX1 cassette, zero wear. Which is kinda nice because XX1 may a well be spelled $$1. Especially when it comes to cassettes.

Squirt lube works well. It forms into a wax and keeps the chain nice and clean. https://www.squirtcyclingproducts.com/long-lasting-chain-lube/

I did the wax thing for a couple years. It’s just too much hassle. I will acknowledge that it works well (can’t comment on watts, lol) but the process is a PITA. I went back to using conventional chain lube a couple months ago.

This popped up as soon as I opened this thread:

Funny Spence loves the one that is one of the worst lol

This video is the reason why I waxed all my chains tonight. Not the watts but the wear table that shows how much longer drivetrains last with wax.

With 4 bikes unfortunately this is a step I need to take so I don't go more bankrupt than I already am. I was already using the lubes in the top tier of effeciency but I have the wax already may as well use it.
