I have always cleaned chains using a degreaser then applying a liquid teflon chain lube. I decided to see the hype of a waxed chain so I invested in the Silca system. Very easy to use for sure and whether waxing a new chain or dirty chain, it simply creates a quiet chain going across your chain rings and cassette. Now if it truly improves the longevity of a chain it is a win all the way around.
What do you say about a system that makes it so easy to wax a chain that you think there has to be more to this! This system is simple, anyone can do it, even a caveman! The main thing is, it truly makes your chain silent due to the wax permeating every area and crevice of a chains anatomy. Go for it! You won't be disappointed!
I have been waxing for four years and this is a game changer. Drop the chain in the pot set the temperature and walk away. It takes less than a third of the time to reach the right temperature when compared to a crock-pot and it holds that temperature. No need to constantly check the temperature. Go to the store, cut the grass or clean your bike, you are free to choose.
I have been waxing my chains for years now with a basic crockpot
This adds the ability to set the right temp and it warms much quicker. I also love the concept of getting the chain to dry on top of it but the cable broke after just second use. Now it's time to test silca support
I've used the Silca Chain Waxing System twice on my Ultegra 11- speed chain and am pleased. It appears to be made of good quality materials. It simplifies a fussy, messy process which means I'll wax my chain more frequently. That should increase chain life, and given the cost of a new chain probably make it worth the price.
This product makes chain waxing much easier and less messy.
Easy to use. Clean and simple. I run two alternating chains and it make for smooth efficient rides
There are a lot of terrible crockpots out there that heat unevenly and slowly, Silca did a great job here. Easy to use, looks good.
Had been on the fence about waxed chains. This thing makes it really easy. I love it.
Silca wax system is very easy to use, great design
