I also do hot melt and top up with liquid wax if needed. To clean the chain I remove it and stick it in a jam jar with IPA and give it a good shake. Then rewax, I also always have a spare waxed and ready to fit Used to use the Park cleaner but find it’s just as easy to remove the chain

I have also been waxing my road, gravel and MTB chains for a couple of years now and would not go back to wet lube. If the conditions have been bad/wet then the wax does indeed not last as long and needs redone. I also use a liquid wax as a backup if I am away from home and don't want to swap...

What is the maximum size of chainring ?

Hi Folks looking at buying a strive on 750 watt, currently had a Trek rail for the last 3 years with zero problems, hopefully I won’t regret it. Could the older Bosch (non smart) be more reliable than the new system ? Having read about the multitude of battery connection issues I am wondering if...
