For a Smoother Ride — Silca Super Secret Chain Lube
The SILCA Super Secret Chain Lube brings all the speed and silent running of a hot-melt wax-dipper chain to a drip applied wax.
Composed of the most lubricious additive — nano-scale Tungsten Di-Sulfide. The ingenious NanoPlatelet WS2 has less than 1/3 the dynamic coefficient friction of PTFE and 1/4 that of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2). Best of all, this formula is incredibly environmentally friendly. Utilizing 4 different kinds of wax, WS2 nanoplatelets, and a mild alcohol to act as a binder.
For the cyclists searching for a way to maximize performance by reducing friction, or for those who just prefer a silent running bike, turn to the SILCA Super Secret Chain Lube. Prevent additional wear and opt for a smoother ride, leaving you with an almost effortless performance boost.

Pretty Slick Stuff
With the advent of quick-links for our chains (finally!) taking the time to periodically clean and lube your chain thoroughly has never been easier. For years I never thought there was a whole lot of difference between lubes as long as you used something, but then came FrictionFacts.com showing us the massive difference between lubes and chains and I started paying more attention. For those of you who do the hot wax thing, this stuff sure looks similar when you're done with the process, and it is certainly more conveniently than having to cook.
For my everyday riding I am not that persnickety but being a serious time-trialist, when it comes to my time trial bike I spare almost no expense. So after watching Silca's vids and reading about this product I bit. I took the time to clean my chains (I bought a second so I could quickly rotate) as suggested and applied the SSSCL by completely submersing the chain so the stuff could penetrate deep into the pins and rollers.
I squeegeed it off and hung to dry as instructed. Upon reinstallation my drivetrain felt "like buttah." The question now will be how durable the stuff is. If it indeed lasts roughly 200 miles after a completely thorough cleaning and application, then the higher cost can certainly be justified for everyday use. If you are careful during the process, you really use very little per application. For right now I plan to use it only on my TT bike, but that might change going forward.
I just raced with this lube yesterday in the state championship 40k TT here in NC. Everything I did and used was near identical to last year on an identical course, and I was almost one minute faster. And at 61, I ain't getting any younger! Was it the SSSCL? Who knows for sure, but I can't stop using now! Wait for a sale and give it try.

So far this has worked fabulous.
I have started to wax all of my chains. After about 300 miles my chains need some new lube. I drip this lube onto each link, work it into the chain a bit, and let it stand overnight and am good to go for at least the next 200 miles.

Great lube!!!
I cleaned my chain per video and submerged the chain for thirty minutes. Wiped off excess and rode 30 miles. Hardly any road grime. I rode 200 more miles and chain and gears are clean; however I always wipe chain before any ride but I noticed very little grime. Chainrings and derailleur chain wheels are clean. Very happy with product.
