FAQ

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF WEND OVER THE OTHER ORDINARY LUBE PRODUCTS IN THE MARKET?

The main point of difference is it provides a Clean, Quiet, Efficient, Dry drivetrain with a rub on application.

HOW WELL DOES THE CHAIN WAX WORK IN MUDDY CONDITIONS?

The wax really does excel in dry conditions being a dry lube….it does still perform well in the wet and mud however you will need to clean and reapply after each wet ride.

WHAT ARE THE AMAZING SCENTS OF THE SPECTRUM WAXES?!

Yellow – Banana

Green – Lime

Blue – Grape

Orange – Orange

Red – Cherry

Pink – Bubble Gum

Original scent is Cherry – keep your eyes peeled for a car air freshener and a candle in this scent!

HOW DO I FULLY CLEAN A CHAIN BEFORE WAXING?

For the initial cleaning a Heated Ultrasonic Cleaner loaded with water and simple green works best and is most cost effective for multiple chain cleanings. This process works well for waxed chains too as long as the temp is 55c. Followed by this application method. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NahOIR-4lwM Our Wax-Off formulas is actually a sophisticated blend of citrus based solvents, waxes, and other key ingredients to cut wax quickly while leaving behind a trace amount of wax. This is the preferred method to clean if you don’t have a heated ultrasonic cleaner. Before waxing, please begin with a CLEAN and DRY chain!

CHAIN WAX BUILD UP- HOW CAN I REMOVE IT?

A little bit of wax build up is normal, you can try & limit this with the amount of wax you apply. The wax-off product that should do the trick when applied to the microfiber towel and running the chain through the saturated towel. If there is still build-up on the chain and bike, personally we like to use a stiff nylon brush to clean pulleys or even a brass brush to clean the cassette. The warmer the wax the easier it is to clean.

I’VE JUST PURCHASED YOUR BIKE CHAIN WAX. DO I ONLY APPLY IT TO THE CHAIN? HOW ABOUT THE CHAIN RINGS?

Yes you only need to apply to the chain…and focus on working the wax deep into the rollers. The deeper the wax penetrates the better the performance. Here is another technique I like to use on a clean dry chain for the initial application. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NahOIR-4lwM

WILL WEND WORK ON MY MOUNTAIN BIKE?

WEND works great on MTBs! Being a dry lube WEND really excels in dusty environments. For MTBing it’s crucial to get proper saturation of the chain so I recommend using this method. The way the wax is designed to work is to shed dust and dirt, while leaving a coat of wax on the chain. Of course, if you’re getting caked in mud, your chain will too. But it should be easier to clean with WEND applied first, and should keep your chain lubed longer in MTB environments.

HOW WOULD YOU RECOMMEND CLEANING YOUR CASSETTE, CHAIN RING AND DERAILERS WHEN USING THE WEND BIKE WAX?

We offer a WAX-OFF cleaner specifically for our system. It cleans the wax off beautifully. Degreasers will tend not to work since the wax will need a solvent based cleaner to cut….our cleaner has a citrus based solvent in the formula that works very well. We’ve also had customers brush off the cassette with a brass brush which is soft enough to not damage the cassette but strong enough to brush away any wax residue.

I'M USING THE WAX ON MY CHAIN FOR STATIONARY RIDES AND NOTICE SOME WAX FALLING OFF ONTO THE FLOOR. IS THIS NORMAL?

Yes this is normal for WEND….the wax is designed to SHED as it’s being used…this helps rid the chain of contaminants as well as reduce wax build up. If you would like to see less shedding you can try this application method using less wax.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO RE-WAX MY CHAIN?

This of course will vary depending on conditions and drivetrains. With SRAM RED 22 chains we have reports of people riding 300-500 miles between application….same with 11speed shimano dura ace chains. Personally, we like to apply wax every 5 hours of ride time. Since no two chains are the same it’s difficult to assess over the internet…however we do have some more aggressive application methods to help the wax penetrate into the chain for those stubborn rollers. We always say to use sound as an indicator of needing to wax again.

IS YOUR WEND WAX NATURAL?

Our WEND Performance Wax is natural and biodegradable. It is derived from Hydrocarbon molecules that occur naturally in the environment. Hydrocarbons are eliminated in the environment through microbial populations. They are degraded primarily through bacteria & fungi. Unlike PFOA’s that never biodegrade, Hydrocarbons disperse and emulsify into the environment to speed up the biodegradation process.
