    Secret Chain Blend is the most versatile chain wax on the market.  A unique four wax blend is targeted at an incredibly fast blend that is durable enough for your local crit, the longest stages of the Tour de France, or even the demands of the Leadville Trail 100.  Now it can be further tuned with our SpeedChip to optimize for events as short as the Team Pursuit or our EnduranceChip to have your single application last up to 465km/800mi. It is the perfect base to top up with our Super Secret Chain Lube.  This combination creates the only complete chain waxing system on the market.

    Consisting of highly refined laboratory-grade paraffin and a high concentration of 3 specific sizes of nano-scale Tungsten disulfide, Secret Chain Blend not only acts as a lubricant but actually acts to modify the surface of the chain, filling in all of the crevices of the metal with highly lubricious and wear-resistant tungsten disulfide particles. As a result, chains waxed with Secret Chain Blend and Secret Chain Lube will actually get faster over time and after repeated waxings. Secret Chain Blend is the only hot wax lubricant to have a specifically matched and compatible drip wax which can be used to 'top off' the wax as needed, extending the duration between hot wax applications, and guaranteeing the quietest running drivetrain possible. Using the combination of Secret Chain Blend and Secret Chain Lube can dramatically extend the chain and drivetrain component life (up to 10x).

    Reminder: Do not leave the sousvide bag unattended in a pot of water, while on the stove, at any point of the chain waxing process.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Silca Secret Chain Wax Blend

      What makes Secret Chain Blend different from standard bike chain wax?

      Secret Chain Blend is a blend of different waxes and additives to be extremely efficient and last up to 300 miles of riding in a single application.

      How do I apply the hot wax to my chain?

      Hot wax is best applied in a temperature controlled pot like the Chain Wax System, but any slow cooker will work. You will need to strip the chain of any grease/oil and then dip the bare metal chain into the pot for 5 minutes and hang to cool.

      How long does the waxing effect last?

      Secret Chain Blend lasts up to 300 miles on its own and can be topped up with Super Secret Chain lube or re-waxed in the pot. Adding EnduranceChip to the pot can increase the single application longevity up to 800 miles.

      Will waxing this way reduce drivetrain wear?

      Absolutely! Testing at ZeroFrictionCycling confirms that a properly cared for chain with Secret Chain Blend can last over 25,000km.

      Is this wax safe for indoor application or shared pots?

      We would recommend a dedicated pot so you don’t eat wax or the additives. Tungsten Disulfide is the main additive used and is approved for marine paint so it is extremely safe. There are no PFAS chemicals in any of SILCA’s lubricants.
