Why wax a chain?
-
Less oily mess. A properly waxed chain runs dry to the touch, without the sticky film of a wet lubricant.
-
A cleaner drivetrain. Less grime stuck to your chain means less abrasive buildup working its way through the drivetrain.
-
Efficient riding. Hot wax lubricates inside the chain, where friction and wear happen.
Waxing is a routine, not a one-time treatment. Your first wax needs proper chain preparation, and you will need to rewax as conditions and mileage require.
Why build your kit with CycleWyze?
We have brought the SILCA pieces together so you can choose a setup that makes sense for your chain, without paying for parts you already own. The savings come off the combined price of the same products purchased separately: 5% for 2 items, 10% for 3 items and 15% for 4 or more items. The waxing system on its own is $100, with no bundle discount.
There is no minimum spend for free USA shipping. Choose the pieces you need, see your kit price above, and get riding.
Build a kit that makes sense for you
1. The waxing system is included.
The temperature-controlled wax pot is the foundation of every option here. It melts the wax for immersing your chain. This listing always includes the system; it is not a wax-only refill.
2. Need wax? Choose "Yes Please".
SILCA Secret Chain Blend Hot Melt Wax is the lubricant that goes in the pot. Add it if you are starting from scratch. Choose "No I already have that" if you already have suitable hot melt chain wax.
3. Choose your optional chips, or skip them.
-
EnduranceChip: A wax additive designed to extend riding distance between waxings. This is the chip in our preselected kit.
-
SpeedChip: A wax additive for riders prioritizing low friction and efficiency.
-
StripChip: A different job: preparing a new, factory-greased chain in the wax pot. It is not for cleaning a previously ridden, oily chain. Follow SILCA's specific heating instructions.
-
No thanks: Hot melt wax works without a speed or endurance additive. Skip the chips if you want a simpler setup.
4. Choose your chain-prep method.
Chain Stripper removes grease and old lubricant separately before hot waxing. Add it when converting an oil-lubricated chain, or when you prefer to clean a new chain before putting it in the wax pot. Skip it if the chain is already properly prepared or you already have your prep supplies.
You can include more than one chip, and you can purchase both StripChip and Chain Stripper for different chains or prep routines. Buying them together does not mean using them all in the same wax bath. Follow SILCA's instructions for each product and match the prep method to the chain.
