Description

Waxing Made Simple

Elevate your chain waxing game to the next level with the SILCA Chain Waxing System. This 600ml wax warmer, drip stand, and cable coupler combo takes up less space and keeps wax drips in the pot to prevent waste.

This is your compact at-home kit for immersive waxing of chains for the cleanest, quietest and most efficient drivetrain possible. It's a perfect companion for StripChip and Hot Melt Wax to wax your chain in a single, no degreaser, step.

The wax melter has a vented clear lid to retain heat while being able to verify the wax is fully melted. The notched base retains the melter and holds the chain coupler securely in place. The chain coupler has a steel cable that is threaded on one side allowing it to be looped through your chain and secured on the other side.

Dip your chain in the wax, agitate, and hang it up without getting wax anywhere you don't want it or touching a pot of hot wax.

Features:

  • Cable Coupler
  • Drip Stand
  • Electric Wax Warmer
  • 600ml wax capacity
  • Temperature Range: 75-125°C
  • 14" x 8.5" x 9"
  • North American Plug
  • Wax, StripChip, and Chain Not Included

Nice waxing system

I had already been using a small old Crockpot sauce pot for waxing chains, but didn't like the lack of temp control that required you to watch it closely to not overheat the wax and pull chains too hot creating low wax retention. Bought the Silca chain waxing system primarily for the PID temperature control, but the chain cooling stand looked nice as well. After using the waxing system for a few weeks, it works well. It doesn't heat much if any faster than the crock pot, but does a good job controlling temperature, and of course makes pulling the chain at the right temp much easier. The cooling stand works well for hanging the chain though you need to be careful to not leave too many links hanging or with the droop in the cable, the chain may not be held high enough to stay out of the wax. Or you can run the cable through a link or two from the top. The cable itself is fine, though it is relatively easy to cross-thread the end into the aluminum handle, and I worry eventually it'll get boogered up enough that I won't be able to thread it in, but so far it's fine. Overall I like the unit and am glad to have it and use it, but would be pressed to pay $99 for it.

waxed chain convert

I had heard about waxing a chain for years. But it looked like too much trouble and I had been using chain lube forever. When this came out I watched videos of how to use it and it looked worth giving a shot. I am so glad I did. With this it takes out the guess work with a digital temperature control on the pot. The hanging cable and stand makes it easy to finish the job. For those who have thought about waxing their chain but afraid of the process, this is a easy and complete system. Other than the wax and a degreased clean chain you have what you need to wax a chain in a compact kit.

Great system that simplifies the waxing process

I've been using this system for a couple of months now along with the Silca Ultimate Chain Stripper and it really makes the whole waxing process more accessible, easier, and cleaner. I got the system on sale so it makes the value even better. Overall very happy.

Spot on!

What do you say about a system that makes it so easy to wax a chain that you think there has to be more to this! This system is simple, anyone can do it, even a caveman! The main thing is, it truly makes your chain silent due to the wax permeating every area and crevice of a chains anatomy. Go for it! You won't be disappointed!

Wow!

I have always cleaned chains using a degreaser then applying a liquid teflon chain lube. I decided to see the hype of a waxed chain so I invested in the Silca system. Very easy to use for sure and whether waxing a new chain or dirty chain, it simply creates a quiet chain going across your chain rings and cassette. Now if it truly improves the longevity of a chain it is a win all the way around.

Game changer, simplifies the whole process

I have been waxing for four years and this is a game changer. Drop the chain in the pot set the temperature and walk away. It takes less than a third of the time to reach the right temperature when compared to a crock-pot and it holds that temperature. No need to constantly check the temperature. Go to the store, cut the grass or clean your bike, you are free to choose.

Great system but part broke after second use

I have been waxing my chains for years now with a basic crockpot

This adds the ability to set the right temp and it warms much quicker. I also love the concept of getting the chain to dry on top of it but the cable broke after just second use. Now it's time to test silca support

This is a well designed, well made, efficient tool of good quality

I�ve used the Silca Chain Waxing System twice on my Ultegra 11- speed chain and am pleased. It appears to be made of good quality materials. It simplifies a fussy, messy process which means I�ll wax my chain more frequently. That should increase chain life, and given the cost of a new chain probably make it worth the price.

There are a lot of terrible crockpots out there that heat unevenly and slowly, Silca did a great job here. Easy to use, looks good.
