I've been meaning to try paraffin (wax) Supposedly lasts a very long time

and doesn't attract crud.

1. Melt it down in a pot you're never going to use for anything else.

2. Tie string to end of clean dry chain and dip it into melted paraffin,

let soak for a while.

3. Hang chain up, wipe down with rag, re-assemble.

I would imagine that once you've done this you're not going to be able to

lube the chain with anything else. Has anyone out there done this before?

I got a bunch of good tips on staying warm while riding in the rain.

the 3 main tips were:

1) wear something on my head

2) layer foot wear

3) either invest in expensive gloves or bring multiple pairs

and for extra credit I got a few "eat more food and put on 20 pounds" for

insulation....

to replace or to clean??

there were so many responses I though I would try to further the tips. today

I want to ask about chain lube and road sludge. I have been using tri-flow

and my chain just gunks up horribly. the derailleur gets clogged full of

crap, the crankset is all grimy and the cassette is packed full of schwag

too. I have found that if I just let the garbage build up for a month/month

and a half that I might as well just chuck the chain and clean the whole

drive train in a solvent tank. when I put the new chain on everything is

nice again. I do notice however that other peoples bikes are nice and clean

all the time even when they are riding outside a lot also. are you

guys/girls really cleaning your bikes that often?? let's hear some super

fast chain cleaning tips.

a tip from me: eyewear is great, when you can see through it. use your B

grade glasses and rain-x them inside and out. then a squirt of clean water

rinses the grim and sweat off. the sheeting action leaving a sparkling field

of view.
