From
Velo New's chain lube test Molten Speed Wax took 0.14 watts less than plain paraffin wax. Squirt took 0.10 watts less.
From my use I found chains waxed with paraffin only last about 3,000 miles. Chains waxed with the additives last over 4,000 miles. This was done with Campagnolo chains and was determined by when the chain got within .1mm of the 132.6mm Campagnolo specifies as the wear limit on the chain.
