Excellent video thank you and it’s the first time I’ve been able to hear you clearly throughout the whole video as I noticed you finally got a lavalier mic! bravo!

Your workshop is literally every bike rider's dream😍

Thanks for the video. I've been doing this process for a while now. It was rad to see your process and the details. Much appreciated !

Great vid, I love the cleanliness of wax (and low friction of course) and been waxing ever since I tried it. How does tungsten disulfide compare to PTFE in your opinion?

I use an ultrasonic cleaning tank with a dilution of 20% Ardrox 6333 ( I work for Rolls Royce Aero Engine co) the rest hot water then clean for another 20 minutes ultrasonically in clean hot water. The chain looks like jewellery! If you can get hold of Adrox 6333 get some. It’s the very best for cleaning nimonic/ titanium/ stainless.

Great vid…Worth pointing out installing the chain that the Shimano chains are directional as the plates are different inside and outside…the Shimano logo should be on the outside…

Great video! As someone who lives in a small apartment and doesn't race, I'm fine with some Squirt lube; but the products discussed and the insight given is very useful regardless.

If you hang the chain from one end whilst it is still dripping hot you can use a cloth to wipe the excess wax off it. It leaves the exterior of the chain clean but all the bearing surfaces are coated.

Best video I’ve seen on the topic! Great tips!

Thanks for making the video. Based on what zerofriction says, it's best to soak in turps/degreaser for 15mins. Then repeat with the turpentine/degreaser 2 times but this time don't soak, just agitate for 2mins. Right now your chains are coming out of dirty degreaser and going straight into wax. Also your chains are sharing the grime of 10 chains in one bath, so even worse! The above process will get the chains completely clean through 3 cycles. After the degreaser you should use a denatured alcohol like methylated spirits a couple of times till the liquid is clear and to get the residue of degreaser off the chain so the wax bonds properly. Appreciate your video though

I want to wax 3 chains to be more efficient. But what do you do when it's raining the whole week? I know, I should swap the chain for a freshly waxed one after a workout in the rain. But can I just dry the one which I used and leave it till the other two chains will also be used in the rain (during the same week)? I've read you should waxed the chain the same day or day after, but it would be a lot of work to melt the wax after each ride. It's raining a lot at the moment and I do some workouts outdoor nevertheless (and rest indoor). Thank you for your thoughts!

Hey, MSW recommends to heat their wax up to 93 C degrees, I use a meat thermometer to make sure the pot reached the optimal temperature. Do you think it is important/necessary, do you monitor the temperature?

Great channel and video thank you ! There is a technique where the wax dissolves in gasoline. The chain is then bathed in this solution, the gasoline is evaporated and a layer of wax remains on chain. Have you any experiences with this type of waxing?

Thank you for posting this, very thorough and useful

Really helpful video, couple of questions though, is there a recommended amount of MSW you need to melt down to be able to wax multiple chains, or is it just a matter of making sure they are submerged fully in wax?. Lastly, once you've melted the wax and waxed the chains must you get rid of this "contaminated" wax or can you reuse? Thanks

Well looks like im getting into chain waxing now :D Thanks for the detailed video!

Great Video!! loved how thorough it was and described every step. Do you recommend to use race powder for everyday use as well?

Oh Boy, what a Sound this Freehub has 😅😅

Really helpful video. But (maybe it's just me) didn't seen when and how you used the brake cleaner spray? And one more question: do you recommend this "lubing" method for MTBs? Have you heard it's efficient there as well? Thank you!

Great videos as always.

Great video! For re-waxing, what process do you go through to clean the chain or do you just wipe down and stick back in the wax after 300/400km?

Great video Ronald, thanks. Q- did you use the entire bag of wax? Looks like you used only half. I will be waxing 4 chains today with the silca secret hot melt wax. Do you recommend I use the whole bag?

@Ronnie: I really like the concept of submersion waxing + drip wax top-up. I have been trying AB submersion and really cannot get on with it, after only 100-150km it starts to get noisy and sometimes even starts to squeak. I’m going to change to either Molten Speed wax or Silca. Submersion & drip wax - which one would you recommend ??

Great video. Not sure if i missed it, but you didn’t mention how long you go with one wax?

This is what I was waiting for, one little question how many watts can be saved by going form 2 by to 1 by

Now we know who has bought al the Shimano chains in Europe 😂😂😂

Great video! Have you re-used the SRAM 12 speed AXS flat top Powerlink chain connector at all? I'm waxing my SRAM chain and can't see a re-usable link on the market for this chain. Cheers.

Tru Tension are a recent drip wax, tested by Friction Facts better than Squirt and Smoove. Simple and gives good performance

thank you for the detailed video!

Hi Ronny, you mentioned that you shouldn’t leave a chain in degreaser overnight. I did this to a new chain by mistake. Is it dangerous to ride this chain or is it just best practice not to do it? Cheers.

Hi Ronald, do you wash your chains with hot water before rewaxing? Or you just put them straight in the hot wax?!

awesome!! love this marginal gains videos, very technical

Hello Ronald I love watching your videos I wish I could send my 10 speed schwinn so u can get it riding good.

Thank you. I use the ultrasonic cleaner. Any ideas about it?

Would you say using Petrol/Gasoline before the degreaser could improve the cleaning process?

@ronald kuba do you ultrasonic clean a used chain before re-waxing? or the re-waxing process clean the chain itself?

I used this method of waxing the chain. I disliked the white flakes mess of wax spread all over chain stays , RD or chain rings. How do you keep your bikes clean ? Would dry brushing be an option? Thanks!

Where can i buy the 50 pack quick link 12 speed?

Do you use the super secret as a topper for your mountain bikes? I tried Squirt on my mountain bike as a topper on my MSW and it attracted a whole lot of grime after a ride. It was dry conditions too. Had to clean and rewax it after that. Not sure what I did wrong.

so how often do you need to hot wax it and do you regularly need to apply the chain lube too?

great video, how do you degrease the casette and chainrings?

So how do I know if the wax has gotten into the rollers. after 85kms of riding I've noticed the rollers can move up and down pretty freely even making a slight noise if I flick the chain, is that normal? Or should I rewax it

do you check the temperature of the wax? They recommend 200 degrees.

Curious if it's acceptable to use isopropyl alcohol instead of methylated spirits? Easier to get iso here.

Hello, do you prepare/clean the cassette in the same way? I once cleaned everything, applied squirt lube and went threw all gears. At the end I had wax on the whole casette and I found it quite messy...

Hi Ron, if I have multi day wet days how to wax if I’m on the go? Any suggestions or tips?

i live in tropical climate . . is it ok if i just use wet lube all the time bcoz in my country we have rainy days 2-3 times in a week

why don't you wash the chain under water after the spirits?

Can you show us how you put on the race powder?

Silca Super Secret Liquid. In conjunction with Ceramic Speed OS Pulleys, BB and Hubs. Equals sublime. Just saying.

Do you also wax the quick links?

Hello, i have the same cooker its not clear on the video what stage of power you have it on 1 and 2?

Hello How many kilometers for an application chain waxing ?

Great video! But why is your drivetrain so noisy? :O

Have you tried absolut black wax?

Hi Ronald. How can I buy a chain from you?

I hate that these premium chain waxes are black. Why is that?

how many kilometer does chain wax last in a dry desert, so I can repeat this process again? 400km?

Please correct me if im wrong. You can use e.g Squirt Lube as "refiller" with Molten Vax (bath in slow cooker)?

Have you tried the absolute black wax ? What are your thoughts?
