  • Anyone used Squirt to top up a paraffin waxed chains? I guess it won't stick on the paraffin very well.

    Also, anyone tried applying Squirt using immersion rather than drip on (like that bloke suggests in @snoops podcast thing)

  • It doesn’t need to stick to the other wax, it needs to stick to any exposed metal, which it would. Squirt top up of paraffin is a legitimate way to extend. I’ve heard and read multiple nerds say so.

    I have done immersion Squirt. I stopped as it felt a bit wasteful but that guy on the podcast said it’s the best way to start. So I’ll do as I’m told from now on. I wouldn’t re-immerse, but I will for initial prep.

  • I like paraffin for doing the immersion but I have bought Squirt for "during ride reapplication" rather than just going back to wet lube like I have in the past. I guess the trick might be to remember to apply it at night so it has time to set. But then again I don't really care about efficiency or whatever - it's just to keep the noise down and reduce the black crap I get on stuff when I have to work on the bike.
