Yeah I suppose if you can take your chain apart dozens of times without any drawbacks...hmmm I always thought those quick disconnect links didn't hold up well to many disconnects. I also don't like to wander outside Shimano spec with Dura Ace chains--I just use the supplied Shimano break off pin once to install then I never remove my chain. I can drape 7 links into the wax for 10 seconds...doesn't take long to make a revolution. Easier to me than fiddling with disconnect links and unstalling/reinstalling the chain...compared to just setting my pot down and moving the chain through the wax 7 links at a time...3 minutes later boom I'm done.

I just offer my drape method here for those who don't trust quick disconnect links and/or like splitting chains often. Perhaps some here read about waxing chains but were generally turned off because of the chain breaking requirement as described on every blog. My whole point here is to provide a faster and easier alternative to breaking chains for waxing.

That is always the argument for oil VS wax ya know...that is, since you MUST break the chain you may as well just clean it with solvent and use fresh oil. False.
