I have gone to BOSHEILDS exclusivly for my shop and personal use. Its clean, quiet and easy to
apply. PEDROS Ice Wax is a good choice too. I find that chainlife and cassette life has much to do
with the lubricants ability to not attract grit thus reduce wear. However, If you do any kind of
real mileage say 5K a year or more, depending on enviroment and chain care, a new chain each year is
called for. With over 5K on the AERO its time for a new chain, but then again its helpful when your
hobby/passion is your business. The new hollowpin SRAM chains are really cool lookin'.
