First wax experience - so far so good. Stripped with turpentine substitute (3 washes, kept the last one for them time as it was clean). Wax from hobbycraft in the slow cooker from marketplace, melt, jiggle, dry, crack and away we go.
First ride ended up being a bit wetter than anticipated. Hosed down the bike after and dried the towel and cassette with a microfibres.
It ran silent after the first 10/15km or so, trying to work out how I’ll know when to re-wax, when it sounds like noisy chain?
