I know some people who boil their chains in wax and reported good
results but it's a major chore. Such reports also have to be taken
with a grain of salt because not everyone rides on pristine asphalt.
Some of us ride singletrack where the front wheel generates a plume of
dust and the chain is right in the middle of that.


I think James uses wax and I doubt that he rides only on pristine
asphalt.Â* Why do you care what other people do to clean their chains?

I only care about truth and reality.

Yes I take gravel roads sometimes. Sometimes there is cow **** on the
roads around here too. Green mush gets flicked around.

No I don't find maintaining my bike every 1000+km a chore. That's 5-6
weeks between a wash'n'wax!

Last week I even stripped the jockey wheels off the rear derailleur and
cleaned and lubed the bearings. Haven't done that for a while.
