Jul 5, 2026, 5:52 AMYesterday was also my first ride with a fully waxed chain (OEM drivetrain).
Quick notes:
FMD, such a mess trying to avoid making a mess, but that's another tale.🤦
Shifting started out clunky as the chain was stiff in spite of my flexing efforts, but improved somewhat.
After 40km of dusty firetrail, my chain's a bit dusty. 🤷 Remarkably clean.
I no longer see wax externally. Hopefully it's still internal.
I couldn't repeat poor shifts at home today.
It feels normal.
