How it works
One tap from you. Strava and Chain Wax handle the rest.
Wax and tap
Wax the chain and tap Wax Chain in the app. The counter starts at zero, and that's the last thing you have to remember.
Just ride
No manual logging. Chain Wax reads each ride's distance from Strava and keeps a running count for every bike you own.
Get told
Past 90% of your interval, a heads-up lands after your ride. At 100%, your phone tells you it's time to rewax. Wax, tap, repeat.
At a glance
Green means ride. Yellow means plan. Red means wax.
Everything it does
Built for one job: making sure the rewax happens on time, for every bike in your stable.
Chain RotationNew
Rotate up to four chains per bike. Tap Swap Chain when a freshly waxed chain goes on, and see how far each spare went last time. Riding one chain? Nothing changes.
Push Notifications
Get notified after every Strava ride when your chain needs attention. No need to open the app.
Wax History
See every past wax with date, distance, and quick-link count. Per bike, and per chain if you rotate.
iCloud Sync
Your wax history stays with you when you reinstall the app, set up a new iPhone, or reconnect Strava.
Strava Integration
Sync your bikes and mileage automatically. Just connect once and start tracking.
Automatic Tracking
See your distance since last wax update in real time. Always know where you stand.
Ride Conditions & Custom Intervals
Presets for normal, extended, gravel, wet/muddy, and indoor trainer riding. Or set your own.
Quick Link Tracking
Track how many times you've opened your chain's quick link. Manage per bike.
Quick Setup
Authorize Strava and start tracking in seconds.
Six Languages
English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Dutch, following your device language.
How often should you rewax?
Conditions decide. These are the per-bike presets Chain Wax ships with, and any of them can be replaced with a custom interval.
| Ride condition | Interval |
|---|---|
| Normal | 200 mi |
| Extended | 300 mi |
| Trail / Gravel | 125 mi |
| Wet / Muddy | 75 mi |
| Indoor Trainer | 500 mi |
| Custom | your call |
Each bike gets its own condition, so the gravel bike and the road bike count down independently.
