Whats this wax lube like then? never used wax before - the green 'wet' lube from WL is the dirtiest stuff in the world - I hate it so want to try something cleaner.
I had some and unimpressed to be fair... pref pedros wax lube...
may give it a go again - just didnt strike me as being great in the summer...

I'm liking the muckoff wet lube
I use motorcycle solid wax that you melt on the stove ( Putoline chain wax) £15 for 1 kg, by far the best chain lube I have ever used. I will not go back to ineffective expensive cycle lubes again.
Always a subject that stirs alot of emotion.
Wax lubes run cleaner,way cleaner then your FL wet lubes but they are not user friendly in some areas.You need to apply the lube to a fully clean chain first off which is the case for any lube really.Once you`ve cleaned your chain a wax lube needs to dry first otherwise it work nearly as well.You will use more wax lube then a wet lube for sure but you wont be buying degreaser.If you ride epic rides in crappy conditions you could exhaust the capabilities of a wax lube,maybe 60 miles ish plus then its useless trying to apply a wax lube to a wet chain mid ride and expect it to work very well.
Conditions,application,area you ride all contribute to how a lube performs and are the reason opinions are so varied on this subject.Im managing to run a wax lube year round but im thinking a little about what im doing which you dont have to with a wet lube.I hate degreasing chains and i really feel ive got minimum wear from using a dry lube unlike a wet lube which is a grinding paste so giving thought to lubing the night before a ride has been worth it.
