The idea of waxing my chains sounds really appealing, especially since I absolutely hate how dirty my chains get no matter how thorough, or often I clean them.
But I’ve heard that chains should be waxed often… like every 100 miles, which seems like a lot of work for not a lot of riding.
Is this true, assuming dry, clean riding conditions?

I just waxed a chain on my road bike for the first time, on the weekend. The instructions were to top up using drip on wax after 150-200mi. Full immersion, if needed, doesn’t seem like it would be too difficult as you don’t need to fully degrease, just heat the wax and drop the chain in. Went for a quick 30 min ride and the drivetrain was super quiet, smooth shifting. So liking it so far.
