I love Boeshield because it burns so clean.
But sometimes I feel like it gums up the works and adds noticeable resistance

I have felt in the past that it does this after fresh application. But, as with
all things bike, there are so many factors that determine how you feel on a
bike on a given day it's hard to say for sure.
However, last night I put a heaping helpin' of it on my chain to help protect
against the road salts out these days and for the ride I went on today.. It was
an all out overdose for sure. The liquid version. I figure it dries as a wax
and sheds so let me get alot on there to make as big a barrier as possible
against the salts.
Anyway, on today's ride I felt like I was pedalling through concrete, even on
flats.
I stopped twice to be sure a brake pad wasn't rubbing. Nothing rubbing.
Anyone noticed this with their use of Boeshield.
No, but the way I use it is to remove the chain and soak it for a while
in mineral spirits, let it dry, reinstall, apply Boeshield, then wipe
off the excess.
Again, it's hard to say what makes you feel sluggish on a given day. But this
made my usual sluggish look sloth like. It was crazy today. I can't blame the
Boeshield with certainty. But I had good energy. Not sure what's going on.
Perhaps I'll try something else and see if the concrete effect goes away.
Maybe road salts caked on tires slows you down?
