Update time!

I just did my fifth re-waxing of all 4 chains this afternoon. I’m still sold on waxing and just love having a clean bike on every ride. Not missing the oil film all over the rear wheel and having to use degreaser to clean my bike.

I came home from a 50+ mile ride which put me over my ideal re-wax mileage, but the chain was smooth and quiet, so the wax hadn’t worn out yet.

I got my Crockpot out of the cabinet, set it on my table saw, plugged it in, set two chains on top of the solid wax, took a shower, put a pizza in the oven, ate the pizza, put some laundry in and checked the chains.

The wax was just about melted, so I let the chains soak a bit more then hung them on a nail board to dry and put the other two chains in and let them soak for twenty minutes to make sure they were as hot as the wax, then pulled them out and hung them up.

Such a simple process and since Crockpots are designed to run all day cooking pulled pork or whatever, the chains could sit in them until I got around to it, no rush or clock watching.

I just can’t come up with a downside in my situation.
