Here's how Frank Krygowski waxes and soothes his chain: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.b...f84b6c9379c20e Frank spices his grocery-store canning wax with a smidgen of motor oil. Others use commercial chain waxes like White Lightning. If you search the archives of RBT, you'll find lots of posts chain cleaning, oiling, and waxing: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech Cheers, Carl Fogel |

This is the method I use. My chains are deep cleaned and deep waxed at the same time, each wax job keeps the chain lubed for about the same length of time as oil based lubes (longer than some sprays) AND it doesn't wash out as easy. This has been proven twice this year. once in a healthy southern downpour lasting over an hour, and again in a steady rain lasting for six. In both cases it was not necessary to relube after as the chain remained lubricated for at least three weeks (over a hundred miles) of further riding. - - Comments and opinions compliments of, "Your Friendly Neighborhood Wheelman" My web Site: http://geocities.com/czcorner To E-mail me: ChrisZCorner "at" webtv "dot" net |

Anyone have any links to good articles about this please? thanks Dave http://www.noweldrecumbent.com This is pretty much what I follow. The main difference is I use a potporri crock for the wax. Works great. Love how clean a waxed chain stays!! Mike |

In the article I mention reusing pins in Shimano chains, eschewing the black pin. I managed to get away with that for over 18,000 miles on my first Dura Ace chain, then a pin pulled out. I no longer push old pins back in. Instead I've become a Forster Super Link user. jeverett3ATearthlinkDOTnet http://home.earthlink.net/~jeverett3 |
