UPDATED: Waxing recommendations for the Frosty Fest races and SISU
Thu, Jan 10, 2019 - By Mike Muha
Wax recommendations for upcoming races!
So far, Swix hasn't provided wax recommendations for any races anywhere in the US this season. I've contacted them to figure out what's going on. You can try using the Swix Wax Wizard in the interm. Fast Wax has had a change in management, and I've asked them to start posting Michigan Cup recommendations as well.
Check back for updates!
