Have a look at the blurb on this. They describe as hooked teeth. That's what nine look like

You even see it in the OPs picture of the chainring

You were right. Not only was it designed with shark toothed profile, the cheap ones are steel. bring on 20k

I’ll see if i can find any old pics of e bike, but it’s true that it’s been shark toothed for a looong time

Thanks to the OP for posting his experiment I’ve done almost 10,000 Kim’s now. All on GX chains, which know understand is not the way to go, it am currently locked into my own hot wax experiment with the GX so stuck there for a while. Typically only getting 700kms from a chain, but again that’s...

I have just done same on an E160. I connected the two hoded with a sram connectimijig (little gizmo with two opposite threads) pulled through easily

10k km for me. Still on third motor which has lasted for quite a while. Expect a 4th will come at some point. What did you pay for motor number 4?

first to say is I am 96Kg with gear currently as follows: pressure 105 psi 0 tokens sag 40mm on 180mm travel from closed: hsr=8 lsr=12 lsc=12 hsc=7 let me know how you get on

Yes sorry 0.75% imay Change one day to better chain, but have a load of GX in the drawer at the moment. Did I read somewhere on here that XO do not take wax very well owing to tight tolerances?

Messed up a bit with the reply Upton - this is G-Sport I am doing the same as you except that the interval for the drip wax may be less frequent - i haven’t rally tracked that.

I guess this is to me>? In which case: silca stripper initially. Then rinse. hot wax and then drip wax after the first ride after each ride i hose it and then blow it dry with compressed air boiling water prior to a re wax.

Nice. Have to love Josh. Might give it a go over the winter.

The re wax interval is an interesting topic. I’m not sue i have it right yet. with first chain i had not used a good technique for the initial stripping and chain as noisy after 85km (note this is the chain that eventually wore out at 650kms) I restripped with proper silca product and rewaxedit...

Yes i understand i will probably get more from a better quality chain ( I tried NX once and it disintegrated in 100kms!). At this point I’m wanting to compare waxing to trad lube, so sticking with same set-up for the moment.

You have to compare like for like. Same rider, same riding, same conditions. I have bikes that easily do 2000kms on same chain, but here I’m talking about a specific bike and riding.

Yes. Always Eagle GX

I started using the hot was technique with the secret blend in the spring (N Hemisphere). Rotating 2 Eagle GX chains. it’s been a wet summer in UK. I have just had to retire one of the chains as it had 0.75mm wear after 650km. i used to average 750km per chain using traditional lubes. it’s a bit...

Oh forgot to mention that during the first 2 wash out incidents I later realised my shock had lost a load of pressure so the geometry was already compromised without my realising it. Bit embarrassing that
