Some people don't like using chain oil because it makes their trouser leg dirty on the way to work. Well, Wax is the solution. Simply, put it on your chain, let it dry, and it leaves a dry lubricating film on the chain. Dry lubes tend not to last as long as wet lubes, and offer less protection in the wet. This super dry lube reduces friction letting you go faster and have smoother gear changes. A lubricated chain results in fewer chain replacements too. Wax is great for dusty riding. We do occasionally have dry weather in the UK, which Wax is designed for. In these conditions, you get more airborne dust which can stick to the chain. Wax is dry, so minimal dust is attracted. Its great for city riding too.
