Molten Speed Wax TRICK!

Good idea, however you may also be picking up the Molybdenum disulfide they put in there wax

I get about 125 -150 miles, to me it sounds different after that, I am not saying you are wrong but this works for me

Wow, that’s amazing. I use speedwax and have never thought of using a magnet. Top hack! Many thanks

That is brilliant! I read some of the other comments, and I think you addressed them well. I will be getting a magnet asap. Glad, I found your video!

Keep in mind that heat kills neodymium magnets.

This is awesome. Thanks for the idea.

excellent tip. thank you!!!

Really good idea 👍🏻 What you could also do is let the wax solidify, knock it out of the pot and scrape off the dirty back. Your version is of course less wasteful. I'm just wondering if the wax would run through a coffee filter if I put the liquid setup in the oven at 100°C. There are also magnetized metal filters. So you would have very long from the wax, but I do not know to what extent the microstructure of the wax is destroyed by repeated use. This is known from motor oil, that the performance always decreases with time. Honestly, I do not know if I'm just comparing apples and oranges :-)

This is genius. Thanks! I wonder if someone could just throw in a few loose bar magnets to collect shavings at the bottom of pot?

Is it bad if those metal particles stay in the wax? what will it do to chain?

Have you tried doing this on completely fresh wax that hasn't seen a chain? I ask because are you sure this isn't the Tungsten or Molybdenum that's in the wax?

Perhaps the reason you've never seen this "trick" is because it isn't effective (if you've compiled that many large crud pieces you've most likely either done too many wax treatments using the same wax or you've neglected to quick clean your chain prior to waxing it). If you're concerned about, say, the large particles, most of it can come off before waxing via a quick rag rub of the chain and/or a quick hot water treatment. Afterwards make sure the chain is totally dry and simply bathe it in a wax treatment.
The wax stays clean for anywhere from 10 to 30 uses, especially if you do a quick cleaning of the chain as described above.
It's the micro sized dirt that matters most since a waxed chain will often throw off the large pieces with normal riding. That micro sized dirt won't be effectively dealt with by using a magnet and this was done and failed by MSpeed themselves who confirmed this in an email to me.

Never even thought about it til now but that stuff’s got to impact on chain/drivetrain life. Top tip 👍🏻

Not so clever I would say... these black particles are already in the wax before you put a chain in for the first time. That's why the wax has a black color. These particles ensure that the chain runs smoothly. If you fish out these particles, you can also use normal candle wax :D
