My idea was a 'customer' to have 3 NEW chains, then off to young man for stripping the OEM coating & then wax; each chain has a MINI alu dog-tag with customers name on it. 2 chains are returned to the customer, & 1 is hung up in the wax depot (!) for customers next visit... Customer 'uses up' the 2 waxed chains, returns them for re-waxing, and collects the 3rd waxed chain. What could go wrong! 😉 😁 @Zebra I was about to make a joke about finding a "young person wanting to work" .... Did a quick search ... - about 656 000 people finished matric in 2025 (well that is the number for the 88% that passed) - barely 200 000 will get access to a university, then a colleges etc .... About 300 000 are left to play computer games .... IF their parents can support this life style ..... Brutal reality .... youngsters will need to make their own way in this world. And we are old enough to have seen MANY "youngsters" (late teens to early 30's) make a business where others just laughed at their ideas .... Zebra 1

What could go wrong! 😉 😁 I investigated an idea just like this a while back and the shipping killed it off pretty quickly. Also if you don’t like the faff but want 90% of the benefits get a pre-waxed chain (I think KMC now sells them) and just use a good wax drip-on lube. I’ve been testing ceramic speed UFO drip and it lasts about 200kms between applications. ChrisF and Zebra 2
