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.

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.

Great Wax Blend, lasts a long time and works great. Make sure you stir it periodically while the chain is in the wax up until the point you remove it. Pairs fantastic with Silca's chain waxing system.

This was my first experience with hot wax and it went great. The hardest part was cleaning and de-greasing the chain and drivetrain. Once that was done the hot wax portion was easy.I bought a cheap 2 QT crock pot, put the wax in and set the chain on top. It did take 4 hours or so to fully melt the wax but it needs to be on low. I suspect a larger crock pot may melt faster, but it's easy enough to set it up in the morning and let it slow cook away.After "breaking" the chain and putting it back on the bike it was pretty stiff, but after a few minutes riding it was fine. I used an old paintbrush to wipe the little wax particles off the bike and went for a 16 mile ride.It's amazing... no creaking or noise at all and smooth shifts. Sure all of this can be accomplished with any lube, but being able to brush off the chain and drivetrain and wipe my hand down it with ZERO grease is what I signed up for.Silca hot wax is great... now to see how long before my next dip.

Don't be intimidated, buy this product, and watch their youtube videos on how to wax your chain - they make it so easy to learn. This is my second bag and now I wax chains for all my friends before races!

Hope the nono-scale tungsten disulfide is not just an advertising gimmick. I have no comparison to PTFE. PTFE is cheaper $4 for 500 grams. and so i have to rely on companies word. Expensive but Price reduced after xmas from 42.50 to 32.00. No money back guarantee for lowest price guarantee???.Any suggestions on how to do a test on chain lubes. This appears to keep chain from getting dirty similar to the PTFE and wax mix.
