Especially at 1%.
We’ve had a very dry summer so my “get-wet>>wax” practice failed. Definitely went too long.

This is on a 10 speed cassette. The 10 speed chains don’t seem to last as long as my 8 speed chains, but that’s an impression not a measurement.

Over 1000 posts on wax, and I deserve my 0.5% of the blame. Remember if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate.
