Checking in from Laguna beach. Today I decided to do the deed.
I'm documenting this information for those who are curious.
So I turn on the crock pot on low and go off to exercise and then go for a ride.
This is what the wax puck looks like before heating. The wax just stays stored in the pot.
Wax mix ready to go after exercise and ride. Turn off the pot.
Chain after 250 miles.
Chain ready to clean. To clean pour a kettle of boiled water over the chain.
Cleaned chain.
Pop it in, swish and go do something else for 15 minutes.
Cassette. Never cleaned. I figure it will clean up on it's own.
Same with the crank. There's 15k miles on that big ring. Those 15k were hard using white lightning. I checked the chain when I started the waxing and the checker just slipped right in so I changed the chain. I need to look at that closer.
After cleaning. If you look close you may see some of the holes are covered over with wax. Shows the cleaning removed the old wax.
Ready to go.
Total time I was doing something 10 minutes. No gloves.
Should it be more popular? Yes.
