Chain Wax On Podiums All Over the Country

Adam Roberge has been on an absolute terror this year and when he shows up on the start line, no podium is safe.

Adam has a MASSIVE engine and is putting out some huge power across some of the countries toughest races.  From this epic ride crowning him the champion of gravel worlds, to a 105mi solo chase after some bad luck at Unbound 200, he really puts equipment through its paces.  

That is why waxing his chain is the obvious choice.  

Hot wax is the best lubricant option to shed mud.  Oils will attract dirt and mud and mix it in to create a liquid paste causing premature chain wear and friction to slow you down.  

This year at Unbound we knew there was a high chance of mud on the course.  We waxed a chain for Adam while in Emporia and it helped power him to an incredible 105 mile chase effort after having a mechanical that dropped him from the lead group.  

With such a massive effort ahead of him, he was able to keep the chain cleaner and ride himself from 27th all the way up to 10th place.  Just look how much mud was one the bike and not the chain.

Keeping the chain moving is crucial in such a hard race like Unbound and conditions like this make it so much harder.  

When flat out speed is what matters, a waxed chain is the only thing that is going on Adam's bike.  This year he lined up for the Canadian National Time Trial Championships after not spending much time on the road.  There is no other choice than Secret Chain Blend.

Even with just recovering from COVID Adam pulled out a gutsy ride to finish 7th on the day.  He attributes his finish to having the absolute best equipment on the day despite still being far from 100% physically.  

There is nothing like having the confidence that you have the fastest set up for race day.  For race day we always set Adam up with a Hot Wax treatment but the beauty of SILCA Hot Melt Wax is that for training he can simply drip on the Super Secret Chain Lube and get about 98% by simply dripping it on the chain.
