Heißwachs ist viel zu aufwändig und müsste sehr oft wiederholt werden. Besser Flüssigwachs verwenden.

After watching some on-line videos on waxing by those who have done specific chain lubrication testing, the Molten Speed Wax was the most highly rated lubricant available today for most conditions. I was looking for something that would stand up to all the dirt and dust of gravel riding without needing to be cleaned after every ride. This stuff works great! MSW has a really great set of instructions on how to clean and prepare the chain. Once you go thru it the first time, it's really quite simple. You'll need to get a few solvents and cleaners from your local hardware store as well as a small crock pot/slow cooker, but once you do, it's a breeze. I love the minimal maintenance and clean, quiet operation of a waxed chain.

Este producto es genial para aumentar la vida util de una cadena de bicicleta. Con una transmision optimizada para el terreno, hace que las cadenas duren mucho mas. Actualmente una cadena X01 SRAM dura 7000km hasta alcanzar 0.5% de desgaste. Despues de una correcta aplicacion es necesario re-aplicar cada 200-250km. Mantiene la transmision y la bici limpia y sin pegotes de aceite.

Was using a home made wax mix and decided to switch over to MSW. The results are the same as my home mix except more convenient. Chain is clean but like any immersion wax method longevity is an issue. You will need to apply every 340-400km.

Lots of on-line tutorials from the company. Easy to do, and makes a big difference your drive chain.Need to remove your chain from the bike and you’ll need a chain breaker or quick link pliers for whatever type of chain you have.

Prepping the chain can take a bit of work, but once it's set up, it's super quick and easy. I highly recommend the Wipperman Connex link; it's a little pricier than some others, but is incredibly convenient. May initially run a little louder than a freshly cleaned and lubes chain, but once excess wax flakes off, it quiets down. Runs and shifts smoothly.Pic is after a 75 mile ride, just wiped off excess wax that flaked off. Not sure how long it'll hold up, but re-waxing is super simple - just pop the chain off, drop in melted wax, stir it about a little, then pull it out, give it a wipe and let cool.There may be a couple extra steps than the usual wipe/relube, but the benefit is zero degreasing necessary, sparkling clean cassette, and a chain that can be handled with bare hands. Since I sometimes transport my bike in the car, the fact that the chain doesn't leave grease marks anywhere is a huge plus.Pick up a cheap crock pot, a reusable link, some mineral spirits, and some denatured alcohol, and you're all set. Once the initial chain cleaning is done, pack away the degreasers, you'll rarely need them.Update: still running the waxed chain. There are some wax flakes to deal with; after mounting the chain, I run it through a cloth, both forwards and backwards and through all the gears - bonus is it's a good opportunity to double check indexing. Running the chain forwards and backwards through the cloth or rag gets most of the excess.I probably re-wax more than strictly necessary, simply because it's so easy. After a few rides, turn the crock pot on before going for a ride. When getting back, it's fully melted; pop off the chain, drop it in. After a mile or two, runs super smooth and silent, and stays super clean.Update: after about 1,500 miles or so, have had few issues, other than one. When travelling, it's not very practical to take the crock pot. I find it's best to re-wax every 200 miles or so, and especially after riding in wet conditions. Also, if you live in a hot area (El Paso), you may receive a wax block instead of granules. Didn't affect the performance, just had to cut it into chunks before melting.

I’m giving this five stars but I have only been using this product diluted with regular wax and paraffin oil (I wanted to be sure before going in full—as I was just getting into using solid wax). My next applications will be full strength.A sign of how effective wax is: I had a worn chainring that, as soon as I switched to wax, began to slip! Apparently the wet lube would attract enough grit to prevent chain slippage! Inadvertently I proved that this stuff works and stays working even after a few gravel rides (I replaced the chainring).The downside of wax (any wax) is that the crowns of the gears will attract surface rust (since they are going to be dry and don’t get scuffed during riding). Using some paste form wax to top-up between full applications (or Squirt) works great. I’m getting 500+km between applications.Remember to give the product a good stir before dropping your chain in as the mixture will settle in liquid form.Incidentally, I tried putting my hot wax container with chain in an ultrasonic cleaner and it really speeds up the penetration of the wax — you see a whole bunch of air bubbles appear as the air is displaced by the wax (note that the hot wax container is sitting in a water bath, the chain is in the wax, the water and wax are separated).Last one: I painted hot wax on my cassette sprockets. Some of it sloughs off as expected but it provides a rust proofing protective coating in places that there is no friction.After a 72km gravel and mud fest called P2A and a pressure wash after, the wax was still on the chain and the cassette. Amazing tenacity.I don’t think I’m going back to oil-based lubes.

I prefer wax lubes like "White Lightning" because they keep the MTB chain super-clean, and "Molten" is just a step up: all wax, no carrier medium, with teflon and moly for extra smoothness. (You could add teflon and moly powder to to wax lube, but Molten is actually cheaper). The key is soaking the chain in hot wax-it expands the links sp the wax penetrates the chain thoroughly. It sounds like a pain, but is actually easy, not at all messy, and really fun! I think I'm going to do the MTB chains twice a year and keep on using white lightning weekly. Be sure to have: a crock pot, like:($12 w/prime shipping)master link pliers, such as:($14 with prime shipping)You will also need a wire hanger to make a "swisher tool" (to dunk your chain and hang it to cool-see their website for info!) Also fun!update: 18 months later, and I have been doing all my chains every 6 months (every 3 months for my commuter), and don't really need to lube much in-between (only if it rains a lot or chain gets dirty) awesome!tip: it'll be stiff when it cools...put a broom handle in your shop stand and pull the chain back and forth around it to loosen the links before you re-install.tip for 1x drivetrain: push each link onto the chainring when re-installing
