Did you know that there's an easy way to make your drivetrain faster, cleaner and longer lasting? In this video I am showing you how you can start waxing your bike chain at home. It's so much easier than a lot of people think it is!

Follow this simple guide on how to wax your chain, and enjoy the following benefits:

- NO MORE CLEANING your drivetrain
- SAVE WATTS compared to when using oil
- Drivetrain longevity is DRASTICALLY INCREASED
- NO DIRTY HANDS when touching the chain
- Drivetrain stays SILENT AND RELIABLE in all conditions

In other words, there is no reason to not begin waxing your chain. Friction losses are reduced in the chain, making you go faster on the bike. Your chain can also last upward of 20,000 kilometers! This means other drivetrain parts (such as your cassette and chainrings) will last much longer as well, saving you a lot of money in the long run.
