Waxed chains have many advantages over oiled chains:

Less wear and longer service life: chain wax penetrates deep into the chain links and forms a protective layer that minimizes direct contact between metal components. This can lead to a multiplication of the service life of the entire drive unit.

Clean drive: Unlike oil, wax attracts less dirt, dust and abrasion. The solid wax layer repels dirt particles, resulting in a cleaner drive (and fingers) and less cleaning effort.

Higher efficiency: Waxed chains offer measurably higher efficiency due to lower friction. High-quality waxes such as can save up to 6-8 watts compared to conventional chain oils.

More environmentally friendly: Wax is considered more environmentally friendly than chain oil as it is less polluting to groundwater.

Quieter running: Due to the even coating, chain wax ensures that the bike runs more quietly.

This is offset by a significant disadvantage:

The effort involved should not be underestimated, especially the initial cleaning of the drivetrain and the degreasing of even a brand-new chain is labor-intensive and requires ultrasonic cleaning for excellent results.

So that you can enjoy the advantages and forget the disadvantages, we offer a subscription model with 6, 12 or 24 renewals of the wax coating within 12 months. The 6x model is recommended for all those who drive up to 5,000 km per year, the 12x model for all those with an annual mileage of up to 10,000 km. All those who drive even more should choose the 24x model;

We use Black Diamond hot wax from the Finnish wax specialist Rex, which is considered one of the best, if not the best, hot wax for bicycle chains according to Zero-Friction from Australia, the world's recognized experts in the field. Rex assumes a mileage of up to 1,500 km per waxing process. Our estimated mileage is therefore very conservative.

We offer a wide range of chains, from SRAM to Shimano and KMC (pre-treated by CeramicSpeed)

  • Hot waxing with Black Diamond from Rex.
  • each subscription includes the initial cleaning of the complete drivetrain and degreasing of a brand new chain (chain NOT included in the subscription price)
  • no used chains will be cleaned and no supplied chains will be accepted
  • Recommendation: annual mileage < 5,000km: 6x/year | 5,000 - 10,000km: 12x/year | > 10,000km: 24x/year
  • The subscription expires without replacement if the chain or drivetrain is contaminated with other waxes or lubricants during the subscription period.
