Candlewax on the chain works really well. Usually for about 200 miles.

@potsnpans1000, I've tried white lightning which is a wax based lube. It works pretty good just after it is applied.

@mrrushking, these vids are mainly for new mtb riders, not pro riders such as yourself. I see you have high quality videos that you have provided for the mtb community on your page...lol. If you don't like these, don't watch AH.

Awesome video. Probably the most instructional one I've seen. Do you wash your bike as well? Like brush it down? I would like to see a video of that as well as how often we should do so.
