Can I use wax on my chain if I ride in wet and dirty conditions?

Well, you're really painting a bleak picture, aren't you? Wax is no gamble, it's a choice. Sure, no lube can guarantee perfection, but that's life. You wouldn't stop riding because of a flat tire, would you?

And as for "reliable options," aren't they just as flawed? Or are they the golden standard because they're not wax? Let's not put other lubes on a pedestal. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.

In the end, it's about finding what works for you and sticking to it. So, let's not get carried away with doomsday scenarios and enjoy the ride.

So, we're really going to sit here and pretend that wax isn't a maintenance nightmare in the mud, huh? If it's all about choice, why are we ignoring the fact that buildup can totally screw your ride? When you're out there grinding up a hill, is the extra cleaning time worth it? What conditions really make wax fall flat? If you're not careful, you might as well be riding with a rusty chain.
