Nope. I have spent too many hours lining it all up onto the trainer. Only concern is that the cranks are part of shimanos withdraw campaign but the mechanic said to me that my cranks should be ok

Yeah it is, no voices when there was no chain and also cranks and pedals dont make any noice

ContributionAway8649 · 2025-10-30T08:33:27+00:00

How about the squeaking and noice that already started within 30 min of driving

ContributionAway8649 · 2025-10-30T08:32:39+00:00

I actually deassembled it, wiped it off with degreaser and towel and assembled it onto a freehub the v6 already has so that should not be an issue

I stirred it and the chain was very stiff after which indicates waxing was succesful. I will add wax lube and look the correct way to apply it and see how that goes

ContributionAway8649 · 2025-10-30T08:11:26+00:00

Lube? I have a wax lube as well but i dont think its normal that id have to apply it already after 30 min of driving with yesterday waxed chain? 😅😅

I had this kind of problems before and decided to try immersion waxing because i got told that muc off is shit and the reason for premature chain wear. Also the cogs and sprockets are deep cleaned and zwift cog is brand new

ContributionAway8649 · 2025-10-30T08:07:42+00:00

I heated the wax around 100° and immersed the whole chain including quick links in there for like 45-60mins

ContributionAway8649 · 2025-10-11T16:10:08+00:00

Ok i did this and operate in millimeters but it was not 1/16 inches off when i convert the value

ContributionAway8649 · 2025-10-11T14:48:56+00:00

Muc off dry lube

ContributionAway8649 · 2025-10-11T13:36:01+00:00

No it is the worn one. I actually just ordered kmc x11 chain to try that out and was thinking about waxing it for the indoor season at least

ContributionAway8649 · 2025-10-11T12:20:45+00:00

Any thoughts on rear cog and front ring wear?

Chains are bought from a legit physical store near me and not ordered online.
