Know exactly when to re-wax your chain. WaxSync tracks how much wax life your chain has left, so you stop guessing and start riding on a clean, fast, long-lasting drivetrain. Connect Strava and your mileage updates itself. WaxSync does the maths and counts down to the moment a fresh wax is due. WHY WAXSYNC Waxed chains are faster, cleaner, and last far longer, but only if you re-wax at the right time. WaxSync turns that into a glance. FEATURES - Wax life at a glance. A clear countdown for every bike, from healthy green to time-to-wax. - Automatic mileage from Strava. Link a bike once and your rides keep it up to date. - Ride-condition aware. Wet and mixed rides wear wax faster, and WaxSync adjusts for it. - Multi-chain rotation. Run several chains, swap a fresh one on when the wax runs low, and wax the used ones in a batch. Built for riders who take waxing seriously. - Quick-link wear tracking. Get a heads up before a reusable link is worn out. - Reminders that matter. Optional alerts when a chain is due, plus a weekly summary. No spam, ever. - Home screen widgets. Your fleet status without opening the app. - Guides built in. Clear, swipeable tutorials and a waxing library, available offline. - Log rides by hand. No Strava required. FREE FOR ONE BIKE WaxSync is free to manage one bike, with every feature included. Got a fleet? A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited bikes. No subscription, ever. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your device. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. WaxSync never sells or shares your information. Ride clean. Ride fast. Re-wax at the right time, every time.
