So, I joined the world of waxed chains. So far, it’s life changing. Quiet to the point that your think I’m running a belt drive, but more importantly, super clean and component preserving.
But, I was thinking earlier, if wax fills in the gaps between the parts the wear, how would you actually get a true chain wear measurement?
I’ve never heard of someone stripping the wax off to check for wear, and that would get incredibility wasteful to do it often.
Zero friction Cycling doesnt mention anything special in regards to checking a waxed chain.
So, would I go about checking the chain, waxed and all, and assume the numbers are pin point accurate?
Check it before you wax/rewax not because it changes measurement but you could have do it for nothing.
I use some drip on wax and only positive is clean components not some longevity of chain and other parts.
