for a regular bike, I replaced all my rusted bolts with titanium ones and aluminum for ones that are not under load, hot waxed chain with no drip wax ever and a bottle of 99% isopropyl that I use to flash off the water. I used to take the chain off and dunk it but work has infinite iso so I just use the pinhole sprayer directly on the chain. If I cared about the finish of the frame maybe I wouldn’t do that but it doesn’t seem to affect this one.

Can you elaborate? This will be my first year with waxed chains, and your method seems interesting.
Do you just wipe the waxed chain off after returning home, then hit it with 99% isopropyl alcohol?
How many km between immersion waxes?
