Dark Energy Chain Wax - Dark Energy Chain Wax is a new drip on chain wax from Muc-Off. Like how clean wax is but not the faff? Drip on application makes it easier

Four years of research have gone into Muc-Off's Dark Energy Chain Wax.

Easier than hot waxing, no Jedis were harmed in developing this new wonder lube.

Riding the bike roller with waxed chains is even more enjoyable because there is no oil in your home and the drivetrain is pleasantly quiet. So strongly recommended!

Danach noch abkühlen lassen, aufhängen und austrocknen lassen. Fertig und mehr als zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis. Damit ist die Kette für die nächsten 600 - 700 km bereit. 🤩

Nach 800 km und vor dem Heißwachsen die Kette nochmal ordentlich auskochen.
Danach noch in den Degreaser um sie komplett durchzureinigen.
Danach sieht sie aus wie neu von der Stange.
Also ab ins Heißwachsbad und bis 95°C erhitzen.

Preparing the Silca Secret Chain Blend hot wax for the Endurance upgrade of my SRAM Force Flattop Chain. To get most out of it during next week's #GrüneBand2024 bike packing ride. Hope this will last somewhat the 700 km in 7 days.

Switch to hot waxed chain wax on bike 2 and 3? Done! 👍
Cleaning the drivetrains was the (expected) mess, but the result was worth every effort. Highly recommended if you want to do something good for your bike and yourself.

So, die erste Kette ist fertig. Ist die nagelneue @SRAMroad Rival Kette, die "nur" entfettet werden musste. Sieht gut aus, nicht zuviel, nicht zuwenig Wachs. Aber stockesteif. 😳 Jedes einzelne Glied zu brechen wird nen "Spaß".

Starting with the first 2024 cycling project: Project Chain Wax. For convenience, I decided to go with the all in package from Cyclowax, which comes with it's own wax heater, cleaning tools and even with a pre-waxed chain. Decided for the @SRAMRoad Force Flattop chain.
