I’m about to take the plunge, however with no distributor in AU, it’s a costly process to get some in.
Does anyone have any pros or cons on Wend Wax as a lubricant?

Wend Bike Wax
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
I used it for about a year and a half and I mostly liked it. Worked as advertised, dirvetrain stayed pretty quite and shifted great, though it would only last 100-150miles before needing to re-apply it, which wasn't so bad. The process was fairly easy and the stuff smells great!
The downside is the wax tends to build up after a while, especially in the pullies, around the cogs, and chainrings and this wasn't sp easy to clean up, quite the chore actually. It would build up a bit on the chain too, but not as bad since you use the "Wax Off" product before each re-application, but the chain never gets completely clean.
For this reason I am now trying Rock -N- Roll Gold which got high marks in the lube tests I've seen and seems to be easier to keep the drivetrain clean.
Prior to the Wend I was using Chain-L which was great for getting a lot of miles out of it between applications, but was really messy
If you do decide to proceed, make sure you get at least two bottles of the "Chain Off" for every "Wax On", you go through it much faster.

It's a piece of shit according to zero friction cycling
His tests are the ones I value the most
When I spoke to wend distributor talking to them about physics , facts and not marketing BS , they didn't had anything solid to answer
To each their owns , just read ithttps://zerofrictioncycling.com.au/wp-c ... nd-Wax.pdf ...

Thanks to the man behind ZF
I'm not in Australia so not intersting for me to buy from him .
