Dirty word: Lube
A few weeks ago I applied my wax/oil chain lube, just before starting a
cycling touring holiday that went for 9 days. We encountered 4 days where it rained for a good part of that days ride. The average day was near 100km long. I've since added another 200km or so, and my chain might be ready for another wax/oil application by now. Note that I just got home from an 80km ride and the chain doesn't squeak or sound dry. I observed numerous others on the ride spending time applying lube to their chain, mostly in the form of commercial and relatively expensive wax in solvent preparations. There was one other guy who used a wax based solution that he'd mixed himself from a recipe he found online. It consists of paraffin wax, paraffin oil and xylene solvent. He didn't need to make any chain maintenance stops either. -- JS |
