Chainwaxing or Craigslist WTF?

HerrKaLeun · 2018-11-24 01:57:57

I found this Craigslist nugget (https://madison.craigslist.org/bop/d/waxed-for-top-speed-bike/6755606226.html) for all waxers. I'm curious if the seller found any takers for the used $20 chains :D

It's Craig's List, which is the Jerry Springer of sales venues. Scum and/or idiocy.

Almost worth opening a burner account just for the fun.

Big deal. I pay $125 to get a Brazilian wax for my chain on big race day. Doesn't make it any faster, but it's a much cleaner look.

The guy adds molycoat to the paraffin bath and thinks this will go 400-600 miles before rewax? Not sure how that works, but with the wax goes the moly. It is not deposited in the pivots from what I understand about moly additives for final drives on motorbikes. I could very well be wrong.
