SILCA signature products

Elite: When speed matters, there is no better choice. SILCA Super Secret hot melt wax bike lubricant is the fastest chain treatment available today, proven by 3rd party testing.
Secret Formula: Our product contains world's fastest lubricant additive, nano-scale Tungsten Di-Sulfide. NanoPlatelet WS2 has less than 1/3 the dynamic coefficient of friction of chemicals found in other bike chain lubricants on the market.
Convenient: Our product is packaged in a stove-top boiler bag. Place the clean chain inside the bag with the unmelted wax, bring a pot of water to a boil or simmer, and put the bag in the water, allowing the wax to melt and the chain to be fully submerged in the fast wax.
Built for Longevity: Each bag of SILCA ceramic bike lube provides years worth of waxed chains. For extended life, use our Super Secret drip bicycle chain lube to keep the waxed performance without chain removal.
Clean: Riders have known for years that nothing repels dirt better than paraffin wax. SILCA chain wax chain lube consists of highly refined laboratory-grade paraffin, which is clean to the touch

Title: Enjoying this product very much
Review: When I heard about the full immersion process for bicycle chains I was intrigued, and now that I’ve done it for six months, I’m fully converted and could never see going back to putting oil on my chains and having to constantly clean them from the dirt they collect. Once you pick up a cheap crockpot at the local Goodwill, and just get used to wiping down your chain with a microfiber cloth and some denatured alcohol after every ride and applying the Silca super secret drip on wax on every roller, just like you would do with if you’re using oil, it’s no big deal, the process is easy and I now enjoy cleaning the chain, putting on the drip on lube, and then every 200 miles for each chain, completely doing the immersion in hot wax and starting over again, knowing that the chain is not deteriorating and is not wearing out the chain rings and cassette on my bike. It’s also nice to know that every time I ride the bike it’s super quiet and smooth, and you know that your expensive chain rings and cassette are not getting worn out as you ride.I recommend having three chains that you cycle through so that you can ride basically 600 miles, or 200 miles with each chain, before switching over to the next chain.You should go to the Zero Friction Cycling website to get more information about how to properly maintain your chains using the full immersion method.

Title: Great stuff!
Review: Follow the directions and watch the YouTube videos as recommended and you will have no problems. I did find that once the chain comes out of the hot wax and starts to harden it can be difficult to remount the chain. This is because the wax can clog the spaces between the links and can cause some slippage when changing gears. That was the first time I used the was. The next time - I had 3 chains to clean - I wiped the chain down lightly as it came out of the hot wax while it was still hot and that made a big difference avoiding the clogging issue.Waxing the chain with the Silca Mystery wax was the best thing I ever did for my chain. It is so quiet and does not pick up road grime as with other lubricants. After a ride use a microfiber cloth and run the chain through it a couple turns and you will take off surface dirt- and be amazed at how clean the cloth remains. Worth the $$.

Title: love this stuff
Review: once you figure out how to wax a chain and get the method down well this stuff is amazing and really easy to use. I have waxed 3 chains in total with this stuff and don't see myself needing to get another bag of this stuff for a really long time.as for how it feels on the bike once you knock off the outer layer of wax and make the chain flexible again and then ride it for about 3-4 miles it feels great for the next 100 miles or so being really smooth and not making any weird noises. though if it is your first time with a waxed chain just know that the chain will sound different then it would after a really good normal lubing and will sound a little louder; however the feel of the chain itself will be very smooth and good.I definitely recommend this stuff and chain waxing if you are someone who rides in dry conditions or someone who has other options for when it rains since I feel that riding in dry with a waxed chain is really the only way to make it worth it overall due to the increase work needed for a waxed chain.

Title: Great
Review: Great wax and easy application. The drive train is so quiet, I have to look down to make sure it’s still there. The big bonus is that the chain and cassette stay clean. Silca has great videos on how to use the product which is very helpful. I strongly recommend the Silca wax.

Title: Very impressed. Not going back to regular chain lube
Review: I've been using this for about 9 months now on both my road bike and our tandem. I ride only in dry conditions and mostly on pavement. On the first application, I recorded about 500 miles on the road bike and 350 miles on the tandem before the chain started to make a little noise, indicating the need for rewaxing. The bikes stay clean and I don't have to worry about getting grease on myself when loading and unloading them from the car or when fixing a flat tire. Rewaxing is very easy. I just wash the chain off with hot water, let it dry, then dip it in the wax pot. My wax pot is a small electric kettle from a second hand store. It's designed to boil water so heats up a lot faster than a crock pot but has to be monitored to be sure it doesn't overheat the wax. This is by far the easiest, cleanest, and longest lasting chain lube method I've ever used. The hardest part is degreasing the chain prior to the first waxing. After that, it's dead easy to reapply wax, it lasts for many miles, and there's no greasy mess on the chain and sprockets. I'm not going back to regular chain lube.

Title: Don't be intimidated by hot wax... it's a game changer
Review: This was my first experience with hot wax and it went great. The hardest part was cleaning and de-greasing the chain and drivetrain. Once that was done the hot wax portion was easy.I bought a cheap 2 QT crock pot, put the wax in and set the chain on top. It did take 4 hours or so to fully melt the wax but it needs to be on low. I suspect a larger crock pot may melt faster, but it's easy enough to set it up in the morning and let it slow cook away.After "breaking" the chain and putting it back on the bike it was pretty stiff, but after a few minutes riding it was fine. I used an old paintbrush to wipe the little wax particles off the bike and went for a 16 mile ride.It's amazing... no creaking or noise at all and smooth shifts. Sure all of this can be accomplished with any lube, but being able to brush off the chain and drivetrain and wipe my hand down it with ZERO grease is what I signed up for.Silca hot wax is great... now to see how long before my next dip.

Review: 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.

Review: Habe das Wachs im Beutel im Wasserbad geschmolzen meine zwei Ketten ca. 15 min eingelegt abtropfen lassen. Anfangs war die Kette sehr steif und lief auch nicht gut am Rad aber nach ca. 40 bis 50 km ist alles sehr gut. Es gibt keine Schaltprobleme sie läuft auch sehr leise und was mich sehr begeistert, sie ist absolut sauber trotz Ausfahrten bei winterlichen Temperaturen. Bis jetzt bin ich sehr zufrieden👍

Il processo di applicazione è laborioso, ma i risultati in termini di pulizia e durata lo rendono uno dei migliori upgrade per la trasmissione. Perfetto per i ciclisti esperti, meno per chi cerca soluzioni rapide.

Review: Using immersive wax to lubricate a chain is a lot of up front effort.But, once you have a number of chains waxed, it gets a lot easier. I give the bike a quick clean every 200 - 300km and it takes less then five or ten minutes. Drop the chain off, give it a wash (no degreasing required), put a fresh chain back on.When all the chains have been used, give them a quick wipe down with methylated spirits, dry them off with a micro fibre and drop them in the pot to re-wax them. Once you've done it a couple of times, it gets much easier and less messy. Beats degreasing any day.Used for a couple thousand KM now with no issues and no real signs of wear to chain or components.

Review: 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.
