Bike Care
So beyond the typical maintenance does anyone here wax their frame ?

I don't get quite that OCD on my bike cleaning routine, but have waxed frames before sticking them on top of the roof rack for a couple of thousand kms. Makes the bugs wash off much easier.

I don't wax my bike, the soap I use makes it look wax-clean. But give it a try you could probably be 0.002 seconds faster from the aerodynamics.

My intention is to protect the finish. I wasn't even thinking about aerodynamics.
