Chain Waxing Followup
I just rewaxed (with pure paraffin) my chain and post the following
observations: 1) I got about 900 (898 to be exact) miles between waxings this time (I didn't keep detailed notes of my prior waxing frequency, but guessed I got upwards of 700 miles between waxings.) 2) All miles were ridden on pavement and none in the rain. 3) During the last couple hundred miles or so I would get some occasional squeaking during the last half of longer rides (40+ miles), but would not hear any squeaking on rides that were shorter. I don't know why. HarryB PS: I am uninterested in hearing about why hot waxing a chain doesn't "work." I'm simply posting this as an FYI. |
