SILCA Super Secret Chain lube started out as a project to develop the fastest Hot-Melt wax lubricant available more than a year ago. Josh has been recommending Hot Melt Wax and helping Pro cyclists and triathletes wax chains for years and wanted to bring his lubricant formula to our customers, the challenge was how to consistently melt, dip and agitate the chain across different crockpot designs and temperatures. The project took a fascinating turn from the world of IndyCar when josh was introduced to a group that had developed a technology to put micro-scale wax powders into a solution that was quick drying and forms a coating that is indiscernible from hot melt dipping. The combination of air-drying liquid wax and Tungsten Disulfide would quickly prove to beat all currently available hot melt waxes in friction testing while being much faster and easier to apply.
What temperature can I apply Super Secret Chain Coating? 41 - 95 °F / 5-35 °C
What temperature is the best for storing the Super Secret Chain Coating? 41 - 86 °F / 5-30 °C
Please note: Field tests have determined that prolonged exposure to below-freezing temperatures, can cause viscosity breakdown to the Super Secret Chain Coating. The coating will become quite thick. It is OK to apply to the chain as the functionality is still viable. In extreme cases, it may be necessary to clear the cap with a needle.
Chain Cleaning and Application
Haven’t yet soon as I wax my chain
I recently switched over to waxing my bicycle chains, and what I like about this is the ability to complete the Silca waxing 'system'. This product gives me the ability to recharge my wax without having to remove the chain and submerge in hot wax again. This is great for commuters who might not have the ability to remove a chain using a master link.
My drive train is running smooth.
Have not had the need to replace wax on the entire chain yet, will monitor then. While doing a wax immersion this was used on the quick/master links and worked very well.
This is the perfect way of bridging the gap between hot wax resets. Love the fact that I can wipe the chain with an MF towel directly after a ride and then re-lube ready for the next day. I mixed my own hot wax and this is the first lube to work with it.
