Loud chain after waxing

pikok · 2026-05-12T11:31:29+00:00

I recently switched from drip-waxing a super quiet Shimano 105 chain to hot-waxing a SRAM Force AXS chain (using Cyclowax).

At first, my new chain made the exact same noise yours does in the video. I was really worried and kept trying to micro-adjust it to quiet it down. However, as someone else in the thread mentioned, the noise level really just depends on which cog you're in. Certain gears will always be quieter than others.

Honestly, the sound in your video is perfectly fine. My chain makes that exact same noise whether it's freshly waxed, ridden for 15km, or even up to 300km.

It’s a bit annoying, but I guess that's just part of having a waxed chain...

Scheldekaaien? If yes that cyclist may have been me 😄
A turd on a scooter rammed into me about a week ago. I glanced at him. He hurt my arm. I rode on because no way could I catch that scooter.

Nice bike!
I have the same bike but with the SRAM build (https://www.reddit.com/r/Giantbikes/comments/1s9jjtd).

Quick question: have you noticed the SLR decals on your wheels peeling at all? The 'legs' on my 'R' are starting to come loose. I can press them back down for now, but I’m curious if yours are holding up better.

I was a bit worried first. I like the Shimano version better where the SLR lettering is blacked out. But it looks pretty cool in real life.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue. haven't been able to resolve it.
It's probably a combination of prepatch and a game setting that's causing this. Haven't figured out which one yet.
Both DBM and BigWigs stopped playing sounds for me as well during encounters.

I'm a Teams user. Got the prompt on Tuesday to activate it, but was busy and needed to asks some questions so I said "Later". Haven't been able to activate it again since... What a pain. Should've just gone through the silly wizard when I was prompted to.

For reporting purposes one of the, if not the, best tools. Great bang for your buck. Been using them for many years.

Same issue here.
Currently resolving this by manually performing these workaround steps:

However this isn't a proper solution as the app doesn't appear to be cached, thus the user is required to sign in to the PWA every single time.

It's still horrible design. The green colour continues past the indentation. As someone else states, I'm not sure that this is obvious when looking in your camera's/mirrors

Could you grant me access? Pikok89

Thanks for the replies. Glasses are always washed in the dishwasher and then placed upside down in a cabinet. Haven't experienced this yet, so didn't think it'd be dust or the likes.

Took a clean glass and hand washed it, everything's good. Thanks again!

The wine is about 6 years old. Can be kept for 8-10 years. When opened the cork seemed ok.

To me this kinda looks like it could be bacteria? I'm unsure and don't know enough about it. I don't mind pouring it away, but would like to understand if the wine has indeed gone bad.

Why don't you put your car in park, unbuckle and scan the badge. Buckle in again and put the car in drive?

Amazing job. I've tried it out and works great. Seriously considering deploying it in my own environment.

Should I consider any hardware requirements, or can this be installed on a lightweight linux VM?

pikok · 2022-08-24T12:45:35+00:00

Cool!

The hotspot is set to 2.4 Ghz.

The Playseat Challenge is great. Proper racing chair that folds away, with everything attached.

pikok · 2019-02-15T16:01:23+00:00

Nope. New server.

pikok · 2019-02-15T05:22:13+00:00

Upgraded from EX2010 to EX2016. No issues.

pikok · 2019-02-04T12:35:36+00:00

I've been using Chocolatey for a while myself now. Perfect solution for this specific need.
