SRAM VS UCI (UCI idiots pt 2) Zero Friction Cycling 2025-09-26 | As sram are taking legal action against the UCI over the upcoming gearing restrictions, i would again like to outline my case against the UCI, and why we should all help hold the UCI's feet to the fire on this and demand they do better re decision making in future - as how they operate currently has costs on multiple fronts, including lack of actual progress on rider safety. 00:00 - Intro02:10 - Situation outline05:25 - The Trial15:35 - Precedent20:15 - Sram also needs a calculator23:05 - Pain vs Gain ratio's
Great wax temp debate conclusion Zero Friction Cycling 2025-09-26 | Alrighty here we go low friction peeps - SETTLED - does removing chain from lower wax temperature to "lock in" as much wax as possible in the hope of giving you a longer treatment lifespan actually work? Or do you just remove more wax from your wax pot to create more mess for no advantage - potentially with some extra faff time behind it as well. This easy test and results i think are conclusive, and we can put this question to rest once and for all. 00:00 - Intro00:15 - Wax Temp debate05:45 - Test results15:45 - Summary & conclusion
The Death of Oil Zero Friction Cycling 2025-09-19 | Alrighty today i go through the (pleasingly) notable decline of oil / wet lubricants in the face of the big rise of immersive waxing and wax drip lubricants.

Pleasingly this is a case of logic and performance realities bringing the correct outcome to the fore, something that doesn't always happen! So todays video covers why wax is winning and oil / wet lubes are declining.

The great wax temperature debate Zero Friction Cycling 2025-08-01 | For as long as there has been immersive waxing, there has been a waxing tip to let the wax cool to near its set temperature before removing chain to "lock in" as much wax as possible inside the chain to get the most performance and treatment lifespan from that treatment. I have been very dubious about this tip since being in this space. It is something i have tested just as as matter of course in my early years of my own personal waxing, and since then and stepping into doing ZFC, it is something i have also discussed with the godfather for low friction chain lubrication - Jason Smith of Friction Facts, as well as in discussions with extremely smart peeps at other major manufacturers of immersive wax products. In todays video i take you through why i am still extremely dubious that there is anything to this tip, and why doing this does come with some cost for as yet no proven by anyone i am aware of benefit. I also take you through why at this time i disagree with a blog post by silca who conducted for the purposes of that blog post what i feel is a flawed test around wax weight on chains from different wax pot removal temperatures. Maybe this is a control test i have to do after all. I hadn't thought i would need to put the resources to do so, that we have many other much higher value knowledge tests to conduct - but in light of the silca blog post and also some wax mfg making equipment specifically for cool wax chain removal, and no one else seems likely to spend the resources to prove what they are advocating - maybe it just needs to get done. Let me know your thoughts my lovely low friction peeps. 00:00 - Intro 01:25 - Reward vs Pain ratio04:05 - Cold wax proposed benefits05:25 - Cold wax downsides09:45 - Theory against cold wax15:40 - Contradictory information22:20 - Optimize cool pot25:30 - Wrap

Waxed life post full mudder Zero Friction Cycling 2025-07-26 | So, you are running oil / wet lube - the job to reset your chain post heavy contamination is..... lost of solvent / degreaser rounds (which get disposed of where? Cost how much?) + solvents to clean up cassette, pulleys, chain rings etc. Waxed chain - there is nothing to help mud stick to cassette etc so it just washes off with water when you clean bike. Chain - most will wash off outside, but mud has run right through chain - no problem - all you need is boiling water to flush rinse a wax chain - so easy, then dry, re wax, and everything is back to low friction, low wear magnificence with so little time and effort. I used to use oil / wet lubes. I know what maintenance is easier. So, vastly easier. And better on all fronts. It isn't remotely a contest. Wax wins by oh so much.... 00:00 - intro00:34 - Boiling water rinses02:32 - Dry 03:10 - Re wax (2 pot system for offroad)04:45 - Re install chain07:27 - NO CONTEST!

I think the vast majority already understand this - but for those who do not - i hope this helps explain fully, and then we will see where this journey ends up over time - i would love Optimize to be correct for many reasons, it would be a win for us all. 00:00 - Intro 02:11 - The product claims04:00 - Air bubbles..08:23 - A comparison claim example18:07 - Back to Optimize20:45 - Better friction modifier distribution24:24 - Optimize bike contact and summary
