wax Vs "wet" lubrication for my chain. I have been using
wet but am getting a bit tired of cleaning the chain etc
after almost every ride. I have environmental concerns
about wax -that it is made to fall off, therefore sitting
around for x years refusing to breakdown into something
friendly to the environment or finding it's way into storm
drains and eventually into our rivers or oceans. I know
that wet lube is not any better for the environment but at
least I can control where I clean the bike down and
therefore control run-off of the lube. Am I doomed
to clean everything down after each ride or are my
concerns about wax unfounded?
I guess the other option is to buy another chain and
keep one in cleaning fluid while I use the other and
then swap when necessary.
