I doubt these will take off. They do look cool Af while shifting imo

    When I got my new road/gravel bike several weeks ago, I vowed to keep my components lasting as long as possible. So, I entered the world of immersion wax. Within a few days, I converted my other two bikes to waxed chains + drip wax every 200-250km (with another full immersion at 1000km).

    The silence, cleanliness, efficiency, and known low-friction/low-wear makes it sooooo worth it. I find the process and ongoing upkeep to be far, far easier than when I was using a high-quality oil-based lube (Silca Synergetic).

    I just invested in a bunch of Wippermann chains and master links to make the process even easier. I really can’t see myself ever going back to traditional lube.
