I finally did it! I ditched traditional chain lube and tried a chain wax system for the first time, using the Rideflare Chain Wax System. No long-term testing, no marketing spin — just my real first-ride experience as a gravel and road cyclist who puts in real miles. Full Kit here - https://amzn.to/44KCYEK Wax Refill here - https://amzn.to/3L6wPMq In this video, I walk through: My first-time setup experience with the Rideflare system How the drivetrain felt on the ride Noise, cleanliness, and overall ride feel What surprised me (good and bad) And whether I think chain wax is actually worth switching to As someone who rides gravel, road, and everything in between, and who’s constantly cleaning bikes, chain wax has always been “that thing everyone talks about but never explains simply.” This is my day-one, beginner perspective for anyone curious but hesitant to make the switch. This is not a sponsored hype video just honest cycling content from the saddle. If you’re thinking about moving away from messy chain lube and want to know what chain wax is really like your first time, this one’s for you.
