New chain day! 

Iykyk

Happened to have a nice replacement on hand that I picked up at a recent swap meet. The “$2 if it fits in your hand” pricing was good to me!!

Gold chains only 😮‍💨

Woah woah woah. I’m running a clapped out mechanical junk bin setup over here. I’m not that fancy!

Do you? What’s your chain maxing setup

Its not a fancy thing as much as it is easy to keep and maintain a clean bike with less overall wear on some of the moving parts. 

I like this guide https://zerofrictioncycling.com.au/chaintesting/

and my shop uses Silca products (wax included) so I start with a fresh waxed chain and then use Silca Super Secret (its like liquid wax) every few hundred miles. 

No dirty cassettes, pulley wheels, or silly marks on your calf :)

I'm using the products of https://www.optimize.bike/en pretty nice tbh!

absolutely, I just like the hardware itself more than the ones from Silca. thank you mate, it's an absolute dream :)

Looks like it’s close to if not the same as Silca. Just poked around your account.. great to see some other ‘serious’ cyclist. Love your melee.
