Did you notice it picking up more dirt, or was that the approximate sweet spot by trial and error?i use somewhere in vicinity of 30-50ml
not really more dirt, the outer wax should just drop off, more trial errorDid you notice it picking up more dirt, or was that the approximate sweet spot by trial and error?
Calling @Scotty T he bought some recently.Does anyone know if Absolute Black Graphenwax is only available on their website? or is it at other retailers as well?
I bought badger wax (paraffin and PTFE) from eBay, and I was going to chuck a square of the graphenwax into the badger wax mix.

I’m on board the Silca program now. Got two chains done in the bag so far, next move is to put the wax in the sonic cleaner. Nice rabbit hole to fall into.Have spent way too much time over the last two days watching Silca's videos. But, for those interested in cleaning/ waxing/ chain friction it's worth a look https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHhgHOQoD_AQ84jYWfzWvAw/videos

Is that good or bad?But a week in and the chain is doing all the same things as before.
Definitely good. 220km on this chain so far and it hasn't started squeaking yet. I swap when the little chirps start, it conveniently works out to a weeks worth of commuting.Is that good or bad?
Bunch of wankers. They have added graphite powder and are calling it graphene to make it sound cool.Does anyone know if Absolute Black Graphenwax is only available on their website? or is it at other retailers as well?

Absolute Black seem to be going #BatshitTrump on all the other wax products, saying that they are shit and don't work anything near as well as AB does, or that they will make your drivetrain explode or whatever.....Bunch of wankers.

I'm with this. I had mine for 150km now - the ptfe + wax. It hasn't squeaked at all. Compared to just pure paraffin, this one has left absolutely no traces of dirt on the chain after usage. So win!Definitely good. 220km on this chain so far and it hasn't started squeaking yet. I swap when the little chirps start, it conveniently works out to a weeks worth of commuting.
The more reason to avoid them. They'll add some food colouring to the wax compound next and start claiming the green (or whatever rainbow) colour add an extra 200% efficiency and longevity, and makes you climb as fast as Nino and descend as quick as Bruni.Absolute Black seem to be going #BatshitTrump on all the other wax products, saying that they are shit and don't work anything near as well as AB does, or that they will make your drivetrain explode or whatever.....
Latest Zero Friction Cycling News - Graphene Wax - Zero Friction Cycling
Latest news #10 – Graphene Wax!! Right, so already coming in are enquries re absoluteBlack graphene wax launch, what do I think, how does it compare to Mspeedwax / Silca Hot melt, their performance claims etc etc. As always – I don’t like to be too be half arsed about info, so a mini back...zerofrictioncycling.com.au
no i use cheap chains, havn’t had surface rust develop, how long is after a while?Do you all use high end chains? I've waxed one of my son's bikes which has a basic KMC X10 chain and noticed that it has developed surface rust after a while. I suspect it is not going to be detrimental to performance if the wax is still inbetween the plates and pins etc... But it does look unsightly.
Anyone else had this issue?
A few weeks, wasn't even after a wet ride, but the shed can get a bit damp after heavy rain...no i use cheap chains, havn’t had surface rust develop, how long is after a while?
weird, the was should help prevent rust, degreae and scrub w steel wool /lemon juice and clean in petrol - then try re-waxing..A few weeks, wasn't even after a wet ride, but the shed can get a bit damp after heavy rain...
Since then I've waxed four chains, which are now running on other bikes, so will see what happens to them, since they all live in the same shed.weird, the was should help prevent rust, degreae and scrub w steel wool /lemon juice and clean in petrol - then try re-waxing..
I use XTR 12 but XT 12 or Ultegra 11 if the top tier are not available. The external coatings to resist corrosion are the main driver, not the weight savings gained by using hollow pins.Do you all use high end chains?
