Does anyone use paraffin anymore? We used to take the chain off, clean thoroughly and put it into a can of melted paraffin. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to let it penetrate. clean the cassette and gears. Let the paraffin dry. Break each link loose. Wipe it clean. Reinstall and ride. It was super quiet. Bone dry so it never picked up dust and dirt. Good lubricant. I had almost 15,000 miles on that old Miyata and never a chain or gear related failure. Maybe there are good reasons not to use this method but it worked really well for many riders that I knew. Just thought I would throw it out there.
