HOT TUB Chain Lubricant

Easy to apply if you follow the instructions. Two rides in and the chain is silent and seems just as free as a fresh lube job. Big plus is waterproof and no dirt.

Bought this because I was sick of greasy drive train muck. I was using Teflon dry lube that goes on wet and then dries before riding. It worked to lubricate but the chain would still get mucked up despite not being greasy. Waxing has made the chain noticeably cleaner. The chain can be rinsed Clean with water and dried without rusting the chain. The wax lasts a couple of weeks before needing a new application instead of every few days like before. I commute every day 20 miles plus I do recreational rides multiple times a week so even though the process of waxing takes a little more effort since it lasts longer it actually saves me a lot of work in the long run and also makes my chains last longer in between replacements. Since there's no crud build-up, I'm sure the wear on my cassette is greatly reduced too. I've heard similar results can be achieved with basic household paraffin wax which is the main ingredient in this product, however, most DIY waxers usually add Teflon or tungsten to the wax so if you're in the camp that believes this improves performance then this product already has it added in there for you. It's not that much more than plain paraffin so might as well get the full product here.

Great product! Protects the chain, and keeps the drive train quiet. I recommend thoroughly degreasing the chain, and thoroughly cleaning any component that the chain will be in contact with. This ensures maximum efficacy of the product on the drive train. The initial preparation of the chain and related components is tedious and time consuming, but well worth it for the end results. Subsequent applications of wax are much easier after the first time. Kudos to Runaway Bike! You make a terrific product that I will continue to use and promote to my fellow riders.

My first time trying chain wax. Cleaned with ultrasonic and then applied. This stuff is amazing! Super quiet drivetrain now and butter smooth shifting. I'm hooked! Will def be buying again! Thanks for a great product at a good price!

It is a little bit more work to clean the chain and melt the wax and wait to apply, but once you did it, you can feel it works well, smooth and silent, what matters the most, it is clean, no more grease mess, no more black mark. I reapply every 100-150 miles in dry condition (when you hear the noise from the chain, actually you can feel it), but in wet condition it is pretty needed after every ride.

I decided to try this product instead of playing paraffin for lubing my ebike chain, I was tired of greasy bicycle chains. I removed my chain after simply washing it off with soap and water and drying it, heating chain wax, and a mini crockpot. I do every 150 275 miles of riding. I recommend using the hot wax method and it is much cleaner.

This is my first adventure into chain waxing, I have used countless other drip lubes from wet, dry, wax, etc. I have used products from white lightning, finish line, muc off, maxima, and others with usually disappointing results. I race BMX so dirt is a constant issue. Trying to keep a drive chain clean is a nightmare. The best results I have previously had were from wax lubes but they didn’t seem to hold up for long and still tended to get grit into the rollers. I did tons of research and found that wax emulsion was supposed to be the king of chain lubes so I finally decided to try it. To prep the chain it has to be stripped to bare metal, I am an auto mechanic so I have access to industrial sized barrels of brake cleaner. I removed the drive chain and submerged in brake cleaner 3 times until no more filth came from the chain and there was a LOT of filth! Once I had it clean I used a 1.5 quart slow cooker and dipped the chain. It took about an hour for the wax to melt and become liquid, once it did I dipped the chain and allowed the mix to reach 200 degrees. Then I agitated the chain in the wax for 5 minutes and removed it. Completely mess free and very simple to do. The only “aggravating” part was waiting for the wax to heat. The rest of the process is painless. I then allowed the chain to hang and cool over night and the next morning I broke loose the stiff links and installed the chain. 100% honestly I have never seen a chain roll as smoothly and quietly as this one did. After a couple of weeks of riding the chain is still smooth and clean! No more dirt and muck caked everywhere! If there is one single issue with this process it is that the chain is showing some surface rust after a couple of weeks. The bike was washed and I imagine that the water from washing it put a little rust on the outer plate surface and since wax doesn’t prevent rust I’m not sure what to do about it. Otherwise this is a fantastic product and after using it I don’t think I will ever go back to anything else.

I was convinced to try waxing my chain by being told that I didn't need to do nearly as many steps for preparation nor spend nearly as much money as the internet seems to espouse. This is true! Cleaned my >1000 mile always wet lubed chain with some Dawn Pro degreaser, washed with water, bought a thrift store small crock pot, poured this Runaway Bike wax in, heated it up (took about 40 minutes to get liquid), threw the chain in for about 10 minutes, then went on riding. Easily getting well over 100 miles of mixed conditions riding before needing to rewax even with doing such minimal cleaning of the chain before switching to wax. This wax kind of clumps up in the bag, so massage it a bit before opening to ensure you can easily pour out only a portion of it. Other than that, it's been super!
