Step 1

Preparing your chain

Before your first wax session, your chain must be completely degreased.
We recommend starting with a new chain.

What you need:

  • 3 jars with white spirit or high-quality degreaser
  • 1 jar with (isopropyl) alcohol
  • 1 cloth

How to do it:

  1. Put the chain in the first jar of degreaser, shake well. Remove and dry with a cloth.

  2. Repeat in the second jar.

  3. Shake again in the third jar, then let it soak for 12 hours. Dry off afterward.

  4. Finally: shake the chain in the alcohol jar to remove the last residues.

  5. Let the chain dry completely.

Step 3

Wax the chain

What you need:

  • FRENZY Chain Hanger

How to do it:

  1. Hang the chain using a wire or chain hanger.

  2. Fully submerge the chain into the molten wax.

  3. Gently stir so the additives spread evenly.

  4. After 10 minutes, lift the chain out and let the excess wax drip back into the pot.

  5. Let the chain dry completely.

  6. Make the links flexible again by hand or by bending them over a round edge.

Step 4

Rewaxing

When?

If the chain makes noise, or runs rough, it's time to rewax.

How to do it:

  1. Dip the chain in boiling water to remove old wax.

  2. Remove the old wax with a cloth; repeat if needed.

  3. Reheat your FRENZY TrailWax

  4. Dip the chain again, same as in step 3.

  5. Let it dry and flex the links loose.
