The idea of waxing my chains sounds really appealing, especially since I absolutely hate how dirty my chains get no matter how thorough, or often I clean them.

But I’ve heard that chains should be waxed often… like every 100 miles, which seems like a lot of work for not a lot of riding.

Is this true, assuming dry, clean riding conditions?

    I wax in a slow cooker (Molten Speedwax) every ~1000 miles

    Holy smokes, does it last that long?? Are you riding in only dry conditions or is this pretty typical?

      I do it every thousand in combination with every 200 using Squirt. Doing it in the slow cooker essentially cleans the chain and makes it feel great. I would do it with Molten Speedwax every time, but its just too much effort for me.
