Default New chain waxing technique

The solvent
carrier of the Ritchey lube lit right up, and the burning chain, chainrings,
and rear cog were a sight to see. Thirty seconds later, the fire goes out,
the wax is well-distributed around the chain (although a longer burn would
have been prefereable to ensure the pins heated up sufficiently.) This was
quick, easy, and kinda fun. Maybe White Lightning will do the same...


I think you are onto something... sort of a "flame cleaning/lubing
method"... burn off all that old nasty oil residue. I think the trick
will be to get the right proportion of flammable agents in the mix to
just melt the wax... without also melting your chainrings.

Opps... what about those plastic jockey wheels?
