Re: Paraffin wax bike chain converts - drawbacks?
I have 3 bikes with the extensive cleaning and wax treatment (Molten Speed Wax directions) and 2 of the bikes have several hundred miles on the first treatment. These are new KMC chains. I threw the chain while shifting yesterday and the beauty of putting it back on with absolutely no filth. None!

As far as performance they seem to be running as good as what I have experienced in my years of using traditional wet lube. The chain noise even with the miles is not that bad.

At the link I have a couple pictures following a rain storm and messy roads. The paper towel shows some filth, but that was after pressing hard and spinning the chain for a few minutes. The picture of the bike, chain and cassette was taken before I wiped it off with the paper towel.

I am sold on waxing and I don't mind the extensive cleaning and waxing. The directions sound extensive, but It really doesn't take much time. I will put a few more miles on these chains and then drop them in hot wax again. Supposedly the hot wax tends to clean previously waxed chains. That part I have not experienced yet.
