The secret weapon of pros: Wax the chain.
Danger! High wattage
That's what you get with the right chain wax. For every cyclist, from the weekend rider to the hardcore mountain biker, chain maintenance is essential. A properly lubricated chain not only ensures a smoother ride, but also extends the life of your bike chain. Let's examine chain waxes in depth and discover why Bike7 Pro Wax is the optimal choice for lubricating your bike chain.
What is chain wax?
Chain wax is a paraffin-based lubricant specifically designed to protect and lubricate your bike's chain. Unlike traditional oils, wax offers a cleaner and more durable solution. There are several types of chain wax on the market, including hot melt wax and drip wax.
“Many professional riders choose wax as a chain lubricant because of its efficient performance and clean operation.”
Hot Melt Wax vs. Drip Wax
Hot Melt Wax:
Application: The chain is immersed in melted wax.
Benefits: Excellent lubrication and protection.
Disadvantages: Requires more time and special equipment. In addition, excess wax often remains in areas of the chain that do not contribute to the lubrication and performance of the chain.
Optimal lubrication happens in the links of the chain and not around or on the sprockets!
Drip Wax:
Application: Is dripped directly onto the chain like traditional lubricants.
Benefits: Easy to apply, good performance.
Disadvantages: May require frequent applications and slightly longer drying time than hot melt wax.
For all you bath-lovers: The chain can also be perfectly submerged in a pot of drip wax!
Optimal and stable emulsion: Ensures smooth shifting and a clean chain.
Long-lasting and water-resistant lubrication: Ideal for all weather conditions, from muddy trails to dusty roads.
Easy maintenance: After the first application, you can ride up to 300 km before needing to reapply.
Environmentally friendly: The solvent-free wax emulsion is not only good for your chain, but also better for the environment compared to traditional lubricants.
How to use Bike7 Pro Wax.
Clean your chain deeply with a degreaser such as Bike7 Chain Clean. This prevents clumping of the wax and ensures optimal performance.
Apply the first layer of Pro Wax to the center of each link and let it dry for 3 hours.
Apply a second coat in the same way and let it dry again.
Tip: It's best to apply the wax to the lower chainline for even distribution and optimal lubrication.
With these simple steps, you'll be ready for many miles of smooth cycling.
