Debuting within the Tour de France pits in Lidl-Trek’s sales space, the upcoming Cyclowax Nex Gen makes scorching soften chain waxing cleaner and simpler. Designed for high-volume use circumstances (like Professional Tour groups, but in addition outlets that wish to add a useful service), it applies a scorching wax on to the chain whereas it’s nonetheless on the bike.
Full tech particulars, pricing, and availability will come later this 12 months, however the gist of it’s this: Set up a clear chain in your bike, set it on the Nex Gen machine, and it slowly pulls it by way of and applies melted chain wax to the chain.
It pulls the chain by way of backwards, basically backpedaling the bike, and seems to full help the bike whereas doing so. I’ve seen a few 4-second clips and it’s sluggish, however requires just about no oversight, letting you do different issues whereas it really works.
I first noticed Cyclowax at Sea Otter, exhibiting off their Chain Waxing Starter Equipment, which is a extra conventional scorching soften waxing package. Examine that out for those who can’t wait or simply need one thing for house use.
No phrase on whether or not the machine cleans and degreases the chain for you, so you should still want to begin with a clear chain for the primary software. After that, waxed chains sometimes keep clear sufficient that merely wiping it down earlier than reapplying is sufficient (barring excessive use, use your judgement), so you might simply be capable of throw the bike on right here each couple months for a high off.
