Why hot wax works in cyclocross
Cyclocross isn’t just about endurance; it’s about handling extreme conditions. Chains take a beating as they’re exposed to everything from sticky mud to icy rain, all while needing to perform smoothly. Hot wax offers a unique solution for this type of riding:
- Repels Dirt and Grime: our hot wax creates a dry layer on the chain, which means it doesn’t attract mud and grit like traditional oil-based lubes.
- Smooth Gear Changes: In a sport where gear shifts happen constantly, waxed chains help keep shifting smooth and responsive.
- Longer Chain Life: A waxed chain endures less friction, reducing wear and tear even in the harshest conditions.
Lucinda’s Field Test
Lucinda Brand put Cyclowax to the test during this season's races, filled with mud, gravel, and steep climbs. Her chain stayed cleaner, smoother and thus more efficient to handle the continuous shifting of gears. Oh and so far, she hasn't missed the podium once.
“Cyclocross conditions are hard on the bike chain, but with Cyclowax's hot wax, I noticed my chain stayed clean longer and felt smoother through all the shifting,” says Lucinda.
