Chain Wax Discussion thread

He said it worked the same but didn’t waste a bunch of cleaning product and the device stayed clean. Anyone try this?

I have not tried but also heard this works. Makes sense that it would.

That’s one ugly stripper
Read a review from a guy who was putting small parts (not bike parts) in a ziplock baggie full of his preferred cleaning product and putting that in his ultrasonic cleaner which was full of water. He said it worked the same but didn’t waste a bunch of cleaning product and the device stayed clean. Anyone try this?

Makes sense especially to save cleaning product, you would still have to wipe clean the ultrasonic tank though. Mine is stainless steel with a drain, it takes about 10 seconds to clean. Will try.

It's is so easy with the Silca set up. I probably rewax way too often, and then reuse my quick links 😬

I reuse shimano quicklinks without issue, SRAM flattop 12 speed quick links, have broken 2 after reusing so no more.
