The biggest issue with waxed chains is getting wax residue all over the place, especially if your first ride is on a trainer. Not nearly the mess of a lubricant though.
Wow, I'm impressed so far.
About 100 miles on the roadie with it. With some pretty pollen/dusty conditions. I could just air blow off the drivetrain and it looks like you could eat off of it still.
100 miles on wet lube the drivetrain would look like an Exxon tanker spill happened. Dry lube? Having to re-lube every ride sucked.
I think it recommended a clean/dunk every 300 miles to 500 for a training chain. I'll try it and see.
It's like a "pay me a few extra minutes now" for the work to gain a bunch of time back in the long run.
The ultrasonic cleaner I bought works real nice so long as you have pre-cleaned a really nasty chain or really nasty parts. It gets that last 5% or so spotless.
