Chain Lube

[redbirds_imp]

I am surprized he used Maxima Chain Wax which is nothing more than paraffin. They sell Tirox Synthetic Chain Wax which is slightly less expensive for a large spray can. Fort Nine is one of the few place you can buy it, unless you want to pay 3 times as much on Amazon.

According to the spray can print Tirox utilizes a proprietary two-stage chemical and electrical charge process joining nano-synthetics with a PTFE infusion, virtually eliminating chain and sprocket wear.

I use Tirox Synthetic Chain Wax and find that it does not fling or gather a lot of grit. That keeps the chain, chain guard, rear wheel spokes and rim much cleaner than anything else I have tried.

The warning information is scary, and to back it up a pair of nitrile safety gloves come stuffed in the cap.

I've been using Tirox for a few years now. Every time I leave home a mile of very sandy dirt road is part of my ride, coming and going. Over the years many different chain lubes have been tried and Tirox is best at staying on the chain and not picking up sand and forming an abrasive paste. It also cleans up easily with a rag and some WD-40.
