Zwift Ride Frame Chain Lube

How long before the factory chain lube lasts before it needs new lube?
I would prefer to use my own chain wax now tbh

I am new to Zwift and cycling in general and wondering what maintenance I should do on my Zwift ride + Kickr Core.

Regarding lubricating the chain I’ve found contradicting information:
On the official equipment maintenance page
“Caring for and Maintaining Your Zwift Ride”
it is stated that you do not need to put any lube on the chain.

While here on the forums
“Zwift Ride Frame Chain Lube”
it is stated the opposite: that you will need to lube the chain eventually.

Please let me know which information is correct, and please correct whichever post is incorrect for others to avoid having the same conundrum. Cheers!

The document is rather misleading and should be updated. I assume you saw this:

All bicycle chains must be lubricated eventually.

yes this is the one. Could not figure out if I could link to it here.

contrary to popular belief, the Zwift Ride does NOT have a magical chain that never needs lube.

common sense people
