Author Topic: indexing front and rear derailleur with freshly waxed brand new chain  (Read 78 times)

Currently building an elves falath evo+ and am having trouble indexing the rear derailleur. I'm thinking its mainly due to starting with a waxed chain that hasn't been broken in yet. I have it pretty closely dialed in but shifting still sounds clunky on the bike stand and the chain itself sounds very noisy and doesn't feel like the crank spins super smooth. Is this something anyone's experienced when indexing with a brand new/waxed chain?
I'm completely new to waxing, so is it possible this is just normal for a waxed chain, or would you all look elsewhere?
Thinking it might be good to just ride the bike with the chain til it breaks in then get the indexing dialed in after that.
