Waxing your bike chain makes it last longer and improves drivetrain efficiency. However, after around 300-500km of riding, the wax coating will start to wear off. But don’t worry, as reapplying wax is much easier than the initial application! In this video, Alex shows how to do so using hot wax, or alternatively, you can use a drip on wax to help that chain last longer!
