Ice Wax - Still Works

2 Weeks into the Ice Wax experiment, on two bikes, and it's still working. 40 miles yesterday, including an hour or so in drizzle on packed dirt trail. I expected the chain to start squeaking after 20 miles, but it held up for the whole ride. Now that I'm always listening for squeaks, I notice how many people are riding with squeaky chains. I don't know how they do it - isn't it harder to pedal, and isn't shifting harder ?
So, I'm going to try for 60 miles tomorrow, and see how the Ice Wax holds up. The only drawback is that I have to clean and then re-wax 9 feet of chain on each bike, which uses up a LOT of wax.... At least Dick's sells it for $7.99 for the large spray can, which is a lot less than REI and Performance charge.
