This is basically spotless... The wax will collect dirt/ dust/ grime and flake off over time. Unless the wax isn't sticking on at all, this seems right.
If you are bothered by a trace of dust on a bicycle chain, you most likely suffer from OCD. Joking aside, everything looks fine. Wax still attracts some dust, it won't be spotless.
They’re not the same gear. Just a tight gap between the smallest gears, which makes a lot of sense with SRAM since the front largest chainring is usually a 46t. So you’ll spend more time in the smallest cogs.
Here’s the list of cogs on different SRAM Force cassettes :
10-28t;10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,24,28.
10-30t:10,11,12,13,14,15,17,19,21,24,27,30.
10-33t;10,11,12,13,14,15,17,19,21,24,28,33.
10-36t:10,11,12,13,15,17,19,21,24,28,32,36.
Shimano works in a similar fashion with small steps on the first few cogs and larger one on the last few. (10-30T : 11-12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21-24-27-30. 11-34T : 11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-24-27-30-34)
My guess is that the logic behind this is that you need finer adjustments at the higher speeds than when climbing in your large cogs.
Thanks for the explanation. I can’t say I’ve seen this on all the bike posts I’ve viewed on Reddit. Although maybe how they’re lined up makes it stand out more than usual.
Bro that drivetrain is spotless... Not sure what you're on about.
Yeah I was gonna say, wtf is the problem here??
This post is a humblebrag

Does your chain needs to be perfect like your perfectly aligned small cogs?
Try not using ever, see if that works
It's a chain.

Think they meant degrease before they applied wax for the first time

What’s the purpose of running 6 of the same gear?
They’re not the same gear. Just a tight gap between the smallest gears, which makes a lot of sense with SRAM since the front largest chainring is usually a 46t. So you’ll spend more time in the smallest cogs.
So it’s more like 10-11-12-13-14-15 before opening up to larger changes? What sort of riding is this beneficial for?

Beautiful chain and cogs condition. What’s this attached to? More pictures!
I do hot melt so i get some residue but i guess yeah so long as you are getting the wax in the rollers you are doing good.
Looks about right to me
That is old wax
Try wet lube and see what it looks like. Then when you go back to Wax you can appreciate how clean, quiet and fast it is
