There’s some serious OCD shit going on in this thread!
I just want mine to be completely silent. That's why I use the @jdog recommended Dumonde Tech Lite. What the hell do I care about a few extra microwatts? Added bonus is that it smells like blue cheese.Every time I open this thread I'm like, "they can't possibly be serious." I feel like every post in here is just people trolling me trying to get me to believe they care this much about their bike chains.
That’s one of the benefits. Wax isn’t sticky like chain lube. Dirt and sand just fall right off.What happens when your freshly wax dipped chain gets splattered in mud and sand?

I agree. I have been wiping down the chain after each ride and applying less frequently and that has helped a bunch. Still, after riding with my group of friends and hearing what their drivetrains sound like, I'll live with it. I like that I can use it on the cables and joints as a bonus too.Blue cheese?

Like a chemical factory exploded.
RTalk, Dumonde tech makes some
Great stuff, like the freewheel oil and the lite is great for cables/housing. However for chains it is one of the dirtiest lubes on the market.
I am not ready to fully endorse the NFS green genie but I am impressed after 2 months. Very quiet and cleanish, but not clean like this full wax treatment.I agree.

Not to shift the subject, but I have switched all my cables to full silicone lube.RTalk, Dumonde tech makes some

Get a spoke, bend it to fit the profile of the pot, and thread the ends of the chain on it. You can literally pick the chain(s) out without fuss/burning yourself.
Did you test ride it? The chain can be a little stiff when it comes out of the wax. Run it though the gears for a few minutes if you didn’t already.I did everything as per instructions. I’ll see tomorrow if this works or not.

Yes for sure. I waited a little long so there was more wax on the chain then there should have been. To the point where it wouldn’t stay on the chainring. I got it to work and rode it a bit to get the excess off. It works well.Did you test ride it? The chain can be a little stiff when it comes out of the wax.

Ah, take it away, it’s so shiny you’re blinding me!
Lol. The difference in mud on the downtube vs what’s on the chain has me sold. And the cassette is still clean. With my old lube everything would be black.Ah, take it away, it’s so shiny you’re blinding me!
