  • What's the best way to clean a chain before dunking it in wax? And how often do you have to reapply?

  • Put it in a robust plastic bottle such as an old bleach bottle, quarter fill with white spirit, shake like f**k, pour out the gunk into an other bottle. The gunk will settle out after a time and you can reuse the white spirit. Wipe and allow to dry.

  • This is what I do, except I use paraffin instead of white spirit because I have a bigger bottle of that.
    White spirit would probably have the benefit of evaporating off the chain a lot quicker, whereas paraffin tends to stick around and dilute whatever lube you use

    An old 4pt plastic milk bottle does the trick just fine, btw

  • Another one I've tried, with degreaser in a large jar. Again, I never felt it managed to shift as much as other people said it would. Maybe I'm expecting too much. Or had shit degreaser.
