SilcaSecret Chain Blend Hot Melt Wax(Return to Product Page)

Use this on my mtb and gravel bike. Doesn't collect debris and holds up well in dirty conditions. Can get over 200 miles on chain if don't end up in very muddy condition's or rain. Overall stays quite and keeps drive train clean

Started waxing about a year ago to see if the claims of three times the life of a chain are really true, but it's going to take some time to get there with 4 bikes in the rotation. I hot wax when the first of the bunch reaches 400-500 miles and use super secret drip on in-between. I really like how clean the chain and cassette are with this method, just wipe with a microfiber cloth and re-lube.

Bought a crock-pot for $20 and constructed posts which straddled the pot. Posts held a steel rod for allowing the chain to drip into the crock-pot. Melting and applying the wax went smoothly, but freeing up the waxed chain after it dried was a pain.

First time user. And I'm totally ?!?! impressed! Extremely recommend to all cyclists. I'm going to have all my chains waxed eventually because I also use my own mixture of greases that is perfect for the interim when the wax starts thinning.

I've done two new chains with this wax and Chip Strip, and with one cleaned w Silca's cleaner and then waxed with the same mix as the first two. I rode the 40 mi leg of Levi's Gran Fondo on 4/13/24. Smooth sailing. The other new chain I waxed is on the bike in my trainer. Both work fine. It's nice not getting slimed by these waxed chains.

I use this wax regularly - simple and effective.

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.

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.

wax the way it should arrive...so easy

If you live in a dry climate and don't wax, you cray. This is sooo much better than traditional lube.

I use this periodically and top up as needed with drip wax. I'm happy to have a clean chain and save the wear on my other components.

Great product, the bag is easy to add more wax to my pot if getting low, with 10-12hr rewax intervals I see zero chain wear

Perfectly works to coat every minute area of your bicycles chain. What more can you ask for. You also get the smoothest shifting chain ever.

easy to apply. lasts 500 mi

Newer to waxed chains. BUt this stuff seems to work great. Really clean.

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??

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.

I get 150 miles to 200 miles with this wax! Great wax!

Absolutely the best lube I've ever used since switching to this wax I have doubled the life of my DuraAce chains

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.
