Bought in Sydney, used once for the trip back to London.
Located in Teddington but happy to meet in Putney or similar so you don't have to venture too far out of town. Can also deliver anywhere between Teddington and Cambridge if it's not too much of a diversion.

c.8.5kg
Not sure of value so I'll start at £95 and drop if required (£5 forum donation too)
Now £80

I've been waxing my chains for years on my road/CX/mountain bikes. Big fan.. and it's weirdly therapeutic.
My technique is:
- Soak new chain in neat TFR to remove the standard lube.
- Use slow cooker to melt the wax (four parts paraffin, one part beeswax, one good squeeze of PTFE lube).
- Dunk chain in the molten wax, swish it around a bit, and leave it for a couple of minutes.
- Remove chain and let it hang above the slow cooker so the drips return to the wax. Make sure you re-insert the quicklinks asap before the wax dries and fills the holes.
- Once the wax is dry, 'flex'(?) the chain to remove the hardened outer wax.
Once the chain needs re-doing, soak it in boiling water to remove the grime sitting on the wax, along with the old wax, before dunking in the fresh molten wax.
Buy the wax in bulk on eBay - I use beeswax because it seems to be slightly less brittle than pure paraffin, so seems to last longer.
If you can't find a slow cooker, I've used an empty 400g tuna can on a kitchen stove with equal success (if not way more risk).
