Why is the paraffin wax getting dirty as the chains should be clean and dirt free. The dirt in the wax becomes a grinding paste.
Because 'someone' didn't clean the chainring or the jockey wheels before putting the chain back in. Also, I was reusing dirty degreaser that I hadn't let settle out long enough so I think the earlier cleans weren't the best.
