Cleaner drivetrain, but still getting used to the new process

I don�t get chainring grease tattoos any more, but the waxing process requires a little more work. I rotate my chains every couple of weeks (sometimes sooner). You have to get yourself setup with an ultrasonic cleaner, and a way to relax your chain frequently. I use a small crockpot. Once you have the equipment and process dialed, it�s not too bad.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Wax when you decide to take the plunge into Hot Wax Dip Chains

Used this for the 1st time on my road bike after replacing the Cassette and Chain Ring. Started with 2 new SRAM Rival AXS chains and clean them thoroughly as recommended and used a small beauty wax pot. I alternate chains every 150 miles. the shifting is quick, quite, and positive. The drive train feels less resistive. Chain is spotless and stays that way. No grease or stains. I am expecting my drive train to last longer. My previous cassette and chain ring lasted 6000 miles. If you are ready to try hot waxing, I highly recommend this product

Thank you for your feedback.

Works Well

I can't say I noticed any particular power savings, but not having to worry about getting oil on myself or my stuff is worth it alone. This wax works well and lasts long enough for me, I usually re-wax every 150miles and only need half the bag to fill up my wax pot.

Thank you for your feedback.

Worth it!

Worth the cost of admission. First time hot waxing my chain and I don�t see myself going back to regular lube. Chain and drivetrain are running silky smooth, super clean, and very quiet. Lasts about 200 miles for me before needing to reapply. Get yourself 2 chains to rotate through and it�s no hassle at all.

Thank you for your feedback.

SILCA SECRET CHAIN BLEND

It's GREAT. The videos showing how to apply it is EXCELLENT. Bike Tires Direct recommended the cleaning of a new chain, and how to wax the chain.

Product: I am more than happy with/the results. After each ride I don't worry~cleaning my chain before the next ride. The cassette stays wonderfully clean. No oil build up. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT??

Thank you for your feedback.

Strip chain and this is majic

The key to this working great is to ensure you have taken the many steps to strip a brand new chain to the bare metal. Take your time and you will be rewarded. Outstanding smooth and quit and efficient drive train performance.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great product!

Just started waxing my chain with this and it keeps things running very smooth and clean. I re-wax every 200 or so miles. It does flake quite a bit after the first application.

Thank you for your feedback.

Smooth, quiet and clean!

I've only put a few 100 miles on this, but so far I'm impressed. Smooth, quiet and clean.

I have also waxed my wifes chain as well.

A little bit of a learning curve, having never hot waxed chains before, but so far so good.

Thank you for your feedback.

Low friction chain wax. Very clear.

Waxing chains leaves your bike and house so clean. Plus you save a few watts. Silca has put a lot of research into this new formula.
