Best bike chain wax: Take your drivetrain efficency to the next level

The best hot or immersive chain waxes will produce some of the lowest chain wear rates and will increase the number of miles you can cover for a single chain application. In addition, it can provide excellent drivetrain efficiency and a pretty spotless drivetrain. 

Lubricating a chain using hot melt wax is really simple once you have the right setup in place and the benefits can be excellent. Waxing a chain ensures each metal surface of a chain such as the link plates, rollers, bushings and pins are covered in a layer of hard wax. This means there is minimal or no metal-to-metal contact and abrasion which is what wears chains out, accelerated by contamination such as dirt and dust.
