    What are the recommendations for removing wax off a chain and associated components?

    I'm servicing a mates bike and it is absolutely covered in shite which a normal degreaser won't shift.

    Any suggestions?

  • Doesn't look like the wax build up I get on mine.
    If it is wax boiling water on the drivetrain components will get it off - maybe need a couple of tries.
    On the wheels I'd try putting a paper towel on top and hitting it with a blow dryer/heat gun til it absorbs into the paper.

  • Doesn't look like wax to me either, looks like the dreaded wet lube paste, almost impossible to shift.
