SILCA Secret Bike Chain Wax Blend, 500g - Hot Melt Wax Bicycle Chain Lube with Nano Tungsten Disulfide - The Fastest Lubricant On The Market - Easy Boiler Bag Application

Great wax and easy application. The drive train is so quiet, I have to look down to make sure it’s still there. The big bonus is that the chain and cassette stay clean. Silca has great videos on how to use the product which is very helpful. I strongly recommend the Silca wax.

Over the past few decades, I've tried pretty much every other lube out there, and nothing comes close. This stuff is simply amazing. While it's a bit of a PITA to prepare the chain the first time, it's SO EASY to maintain and freshen it up going forward. No more cleaning messy drivetrains or wiping lube-spatter off of the frame--just wipe down the chain after dusty rides, and then toss it into the hot wax every so often to refresh it. Smooth, quiet, clean, long-lasting, easy to maintain, and reduces wear on pricy cassettes and chains. The holy grail of drivetrain lubrication.

once you figure out how to wax a chain and get the method down well this stuff is amazing and really easy to use. I have waxed 3 chains in total with this stuff and don't see myself needing to get another bag of this stuff for a really long time.as for how it feels on the bike once you knock off the outer layer of wax and make the chain flexible again and then ride it for about 3-4 miles it feels great for the next 100 miles or so being really smooth and not making any weird noises. though if it is your first time with a waxed chain just know that the chain will sound different then it would after a really good normal lubing and will sound a little louder; however the feel of the chain itself will be very smooth and good.I definitely recommend this stuff and chain waxing if you are someone who rides in dry conditions or someone who has other options for when it rains since I feel that riding in dry with a waxed chain is really the only way to make it worth it overall due to the increase work needed for a waxed chain.

Clean, quiet, easy to install, long lasting and the best part is no more black, greasy brushes, towels, hands, etc. from chain grease. My entire bicycle care operating area is so much cleaner and free of waste.

Chain gets louder during the first couple of miles, than gets quieter as it breaks in. Did a 200 miles ride on dry conditions and it held up.I could probably have ridden another couple of miles before waxing it again, but I would rather keep the chain as clean as possible.You can wipe the chain off before waxing it again, but I like to boil the chain if I've ridden on dirty conditions or if I can feel debris on it. Wipe it off and dry it before rewaxing. Adding a IPA followed by another wipe and dry, after boiling and drying it helps.You could probably achieve a similar result for cheaper by melting your own wax mixture, but if you don't know how to do it or don't have that many chains to wax, than Silca will be the best bang for your buck.

The best way to keep your drive train running quiet and smooth. No more oil, grime, and grease fingers. Wax is the best way to go. I simply put a cut or so into a vac seal bag with the chain and throw it in a pot of hot water. Bazinga.

When I heard about the full immersion process for bicycle chains I was intrigued, and now that I’ve done it for six months, I’m fully converted and could never see going back to putting oil on my chains and having to constantly clean them from the dirt they collect.Once you pick up a cheap crockpot at the local Goodwill, and just get used to wiping down your chain with a microfiber cloth and some denatured alcohol after every ride and applying the Silca super secret drip on wax on every roller, just like you would do with if you’re using oil, it’s no big deal, the process is easy and I now enjoy cleaning the chain, putting on the drip on lube, and then every 200 miles for each chain, completely doing the immersion in hot wax and starting over again, knowing that the chain is not deteriorating and is not wearing out the chain rings and cassette on my bike.It’s also nice to know that every time I ride the bike it’s super quiet and smooth, and you know that your expensive chain rings and cassette are not getting worn out as you ride.I recommend having three chains that you cycle through so that you can ride basically 600 miles, or 200 miles with each chain, before switching over to the next chain.You should go to the Zero Friction Cycling website to get more information about how to properly maintain your chains using the full immersion method.

So finally got out on one of my bikes that I recently shifted over to a waxed chain instead of wet lube. I was completely blown away by how quiet my drivetrain is now and the shifting is definitely better. We will see how things go with how long the wax lasts, but from everything I have seen online for re-applying the wax, it seems pretty simple and effortless. Looking forward to no more messy grease on my drive train and no more chain tatoos from my chain. Thanks Silca for a great product.
