Hot wax vs drip l**e isn’t just about keeping your bike clean.
It’s about free speed.
🔬 Independent testing shows:
• A waxed chain runs 3–5 watts faster than drip l**ed.
• It stays cleaner, lasts longer, and costs less over time.
• That’s the difference between holding the wheel… or getting dropped.
💸 £25 wax > £300 cassette replacement.
Efficiency isn’t a luxury — it’s the smartest upgrade you’ll ever make.

The Chain Waxing Process 🔥
1️⃣ Deep Clean the Chain 🧽
A first-time wax job requires stripping the factory grease or any old l**e. This means multiple rounds of degreasing with specific products that are harsh on the grease yet kind to the environment. All undertaken in ultrasonic cleaners for the best results
2️⃣ Melt the Wax 🕯️
Midland Chain Wax uses a blend of high-performance paraffin, friction-reducing additives for maximum efficiency. Melt it in a slow cooker, wax pot or ultrasonic cleaner (no, not your kitchen one).
3️⃣ Dip the Chain ⛓️
Once the wax is fully melted, submerge the chain, let it soak, and agitate it slightly to ensure full pe*******on into the rollers.
4️⃣ Hang & Cool ❄️
Remove the chain, let the excess wax drip off, and let it cool. Once hardened, break the links loose by flexing the chain back and forth.
5️⃣ Install & Ride 🚴
Pop it back on your bike and enjoy the silent, buttery-smooth ride!

Chain Waxing: The Future of Chain Maintenance
If you’ve ever dealt with a gunked-up, grimy bike chain, you know the struggle. Traditional chain l**es—whether wet or dry—tend to attract dirt, create buildup, and require frequent reapplication. But what if I told you there’s a better way?
Enter Midland Chain Waxing—a game-changer in drivetrain efficiency and longevity. If you haven’t hopped on the waxing bandwagon yet, let me break it down for you.
Why Wax Your Chain?
⚫️Reduced Friction = More Speed
Chain waxing creates an ultra-low-friction coating, meaning less drivetrain resistance. That equals free watts—more power transferred to the pedals with less effort.
⚫️Insane Cleanliness
Ever touched a l**ed chain and instantly regretted it? Waxed chains are dry to the touch, meaning no more greasy fingers, dirty cassette buildup, or nasty black streaks on your calves.
⚫️Extended Chain & Drivetrain Life
Dirt is the #1 enemy of drivetrain wear. Since wax repels grime instead of attracting it, your chain, cassette, and chainrings last significantly longer.
⚫️Super Long Reapplication Intervals
Forget lubing your chain before every ride. A properly waxed chain lasts hundreds of miles before needing a rewax. Say goodbye to that little bottle of l**e in your saddlebag.

Lets talk marginal gains, the 1% here and the 1 % there, these savings can be the difference between winning it loosing a race. A small gain is still a gain, but when it comes to marginal gains it’s can be extremely costly.
You don't even need to break the bank to find these gains either. A waxed your chain (£75), you could save upwards of 10 watts! Compare to an OSPW system (£290) and only saved 2-4 watts.
