SILCA Secret Hot Melt Bike Chain Wax | Wax Lubricant in Stovetop Boiler Bag | Ceramic Bike Chain Lube for 1000s of Miles of Clean, Quiet, and Efficient Drivetrains

This bag alone is 2 worth 2 years of waxing or 20k KM on average. If you add the endurance chip it will basically double it. Thank you Silca.

Quality wax for chain. Definitely one of the best products in the market.

First off, the conversion to wax has been well worth the effort to me. The first thing you have to do is decontaminate your entire drive train in order to change over to wax. This took me on and off for three days. But the result is WELL worth the time investment. No more muck, no more grinding that filth into your chain. I would recommend just throwing out our current chain and using strip chips (another Silca product) to prepare factory new chains for the first time. It's very little effort and you will have these chains to rotate into use probably for the life of your bike. Waxing is that good. I typically far surprass what they estimate for rewaxing, but I'm not a pro or anything. I also use their drip wax to top off in the event of a wet ride. Trust me, it might sound like a pain, but it's nothing compared to properly maintaining a drivetrain with wet lube. You also have the benefit of a perpetually sparkling clean drivetrain that you can actually touch without getting ANYTHING on your hands, clothes, etc. This is truly a game changer. This product among waxing products in particular because of the ability to simply use a wax additive chip to prepare factory chains. No hassle stripping and prepping - just add the chip and throw the factory chain in. I cannot recommend this system enough. The only doubt you'll have is why you waited so long.

I use this wax on chains for three bikes, a gravel bike, a city/hybrid bike, and a hybrid e-bike. I usually hot wax the chains every 1000km and use Silca Super Secret Chain Lube every 150-250km. The result is a super clean and silent drive train with hardly any wear on chain and cogs. On Silca's website you find video instructions and advice on how to prepare your chain, initial and re-waxing. While the preparation of the chain is a bit time consuming, the maintenance of a waxed chain has proven to be much easier since there is no gunk building up on the drive train compared to using normal chain lubricant.

Best wax for chain if you apply it right

I started using Silca hot wax when my latest bike arrived in summer 2023. The learning curve for application and ongoing maintenance is pretty simple and the chain quietness and performance is excellent. Certainly a much cleaner lubricant than any drip-on oil or synthetic liquid but it does need more frequent touch-up applications. Expect 300-400km outdoor durability, twice that indoors on a trainer set-up.
