This is a hands on clinic offered by Geoff Landon.  Target audience includes members considering  chain waxing as an alternative to conventional chain lubricants.  During the session, members who bring a new chain cut to length and a quick link will go home with a freshly waxed chain (bikes are optional but welcome).  And note that chain waxing is not a lifetime commitment; when the wax wears off after 300 miles or so, just resume using conventional lubricants.  Topics will include:

  • Chain waxing pros and cons
  • Things to avoid
  • Wax alternatives (drip vs. hot wax)
  • Hot wax materials and equipment
  • Cleaning the chain (hands on)
  • Hot waxing the chain (hands on)
  • Sealant types and compatibility (hands on)
  • Re-mounting the chain (restoring chain flexibility, bedding in the chain, quick links)
  • Tool recommendations

There is no cost for this event.  Pre-registration is required.  The maximum number of attendees is 10; we will have a wait list.  If demand exceeds space available, we will schedule other sessions.  Finally, if there's demand for a daytime session we'll schedule it.  Thank you!
