That gal must be in your neighborhood now. I've found a few of her size EEE trebuchets around here.

I put a like on this because a friend owns a bike shop, and love to sell chains that wear out fast when waxed. Chains are a form of machine, and need oil.

The problem was it being too much hassle. like rewaxing every 100-200 miles.
I'd rather ride, than wax chain.... so oil it is now

My freshly oiled chain sounds a lot like your freshly waxed chain. But the oil (lack of) sound stays around longer.

I've never had a quieter chain than waxing.
But then on most group rides peoples derailleur are not correct, or they cross chain,
Drives me nuts.... 😆

Too bad those buzzy hubs cancel out the silence.
