Thanks, once a month is no trouble. I will try Ice Wax once I've used up my
2 oz bottle of Orange Seal.
BTW: I did try chain oil, and man, does it ever lube! But it is also
impossible to remove from the outside of the chain, so that the outside of
the chain picks up a lot of dirt, and we live and
we got the serious monsoon today. Thought I was monsooned in at the home
office, but the power went out, so I drove in to the actual office. Not
sitting in the dark here.

hi Patrick, I get a month of dead quiet running from ice wax, and routinely
reapply at least that often

Garth: The original issue White Lightning was notorious for waxy build up
on pulleys and chain, but that formula, and my experience with it, dates
from at least 10 years ago. I'd apply the lube, generously, I admit --
dribble, rather than drip -- but then I'd wipe assiduously. Still, wax crud

Patrick, I cannot speak to how you or anyone has applied this. If you
went overboard and completely saturated to the point of it dripping
everywhere I can see how it "might" build up some. The Squirt lube built
up a lot, so that's my standard of "too much" ! Yours standard is yours of

Good to know: I'll put Clean Ride as well as Ice Wax on my list of "Try
These, dammit."
I haven't used White Lightning since their original issue, which built up
annoyingly on pulleys and chain (in fact, I still have a ~8 year old 9,5 oz
bottle, about 1/4 full, that I've been using on my clipless
FWIW, before I tried WL Clean Ride I read about every review I could find
comparing CR and IW. My impression was that Pedro's didn't last very long,
so I went with CR and since it exceeded expectations I just kept riding :)

I chose to try some White Lightning wax lube called Clean Ride a few
years ago and have used it ever since. I don't ride in the rain usually and
if it rains while riding well then so what. When I get home I check it if
I need to apply more, but dry I usually run well over a hundred miles p
I understand. It's that word "clean" that befuddles me. Grin.

Again, this is the stuff Wippermann recommends, and I'm very happy with it.
A little bit lubes very well, but you do need to apply it frequently and
any time after the chain has been soaked through with water.
What I really like is the clean part.

I don't know if it was ice wax or some other wax based lube (I tried
several before switching to chain saw oil lube), and they would vanish
mid-ride and no apply in the wet well. I much prefer the oil based lube.
But I use a beat up hand broom for clean up of snow, and almost never

that's what happened to me yesterday, so you have to reapply it any time it
gets soaked. On 5 bikes I've used a bit more than half a bottle over most
of a year.

Ice Wax just washes off the chain with a hosing?
Doesnt that mean it will come off in the rain too?
Just curious.

Nope, changed my mind. Just finished my breakfast (salmon omelette) and
went outside. The roads are wet, and I don't trust the yay-hoo drivers
around here on wet roads.
We have a serious flood coming this afternoon. Front is moving from the
west slowly, and will be serious wind shear where
May get out this morning, too, to ride my near-rural creek bottom and hill
climb.
Roads look dry and Nexrad shows about a 3 hour window before the monsoon
gets here from the west - looks bad, we have a SE wind.
