    No more black greasy stains on my hands certainly sounds like a massive benefit for using wax. I had heard that even the reusable KMC links are only reusable a few times but you get a couple of them so that presumably should last a few thousand km. Thanks for all the info, going to look at ordering stuff and hopefully will have a waxed chain in a week or two.

      When I was talking so my group about waxed chains, I literally ran my hand over my chain, and it was 100% clean. It’s almost like a magic trick!

      And because of that, swapping chains out isn’t nearly as bad as you’d think.

      Yes, KMC can be reused, but they still require a tool to get on/off. Work with what you have, and invest where it makes the most sense to you.
