I use wax and it works well...if it doesn't rain. If it rains then the
chain will rust, lose lubrication and start to squeak. Those who know me
probably also know my solution for this problem. Those who insist on riding
in the rain will need to add some oil.

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.
