▬▬▬▬ Video Overview ▬▬▬▬
Did SILCA get it wrong on EnduranceChip marketing info?
Zero Friction Cycling’s latest review suggests our chart undersold how far a single waxing can go. Josh breaks down the ranking, shows how ZFC shortened their protocol from the standard version, and explains why that change pushed EnduranceChip to the top of the results by a significant margin. This video covers clean block durability, real world versus lab conditions, and why we continue to under promise so riders see better results than expected.
