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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 oz. and 8 oz. bottles with the precision applicator tip for dripping on your chain or 16 oz. jar with 12 oz. lube (leaving room for your chain) for dipping the chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe chain should be VERY clean and dry before applying, see video below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApply according to video and let dry for AT LEAST 12 Hours for optimal results, 24 hours if applied in cool or humid weather conditions!  We recommend applying the lube AFTER your ride so it's ready for next time!  See Chart Below for more Info\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNOTE: Over time the WS2 will begin to settle to the bottom of the bottle, shake well before using!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SILCA","offers":[{"title":"2 oz","offer_id":40532580073518,"sku":"SILCA-AC-015-ASY-0800","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":40532580040750,"sku":"SILCA-AC-015-ASY-0100","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":40532571979822,"sku":"SILCA-AC-015-ASY-0200","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1336\/3759\/files\/silca-bottle-of-secret-chain-lubricant-options-30745231261742.png?v=1700848122"},{"product_id":"silca-secret-chain-blend","title":"SILCA Secret Chain Blend","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSILCA Secret Chain Blend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eABOUT PRODUCT:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhen we launched secret chain lube, Josh admitted that the starting point for this product was a hot wax recipe he had used for years with pro teams that had won numerous world and Olympic medals. The idea behind Secret Chain Lube was to bring this technology to a lube that didn't require hot melting but turns out, many of our customers were already big fans of hot waxing chains, and the requests flooded in for us to release the SILCA Secret Wax Blend.. so here it is!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eConsisting 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)\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SILCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40532600356910,"sku":"SILCA-AC-016-ASY-0100","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1336\/3759\/files\/silca-secret-chain-blend-30745284050990.jpg?v=1700849021"},{"product_id":"silca-synergetic-drip-chain-lube","title":"SILCA Synergetic Drip Chain Lube","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSILCA Synergetic Drip Chain Lube.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eABOUT PRODUCT:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the huge success of SILCA Super Secret Chain Lube and Super Secret Chain Blend, it became clear to us that the vast majority of cyclists are still interested in using oil based wet lubricants for both ease of use and reduced time commitment to get started. While hot melt wax and drip wax may ultimately be slightly more efficient and cleaner running, the requirement of starting with a perfectly clean, dry chain, and the 300 mile re-application intervals are not for everybody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo SILCA set out to develop the world’s fastest, quietest, longest lasting oil based chain lube utilizing the nano scale tungsten disulfide to reduce surface wear and friction within the chain. What we did not know when we started this project, was that WS2 has a unique and not fully understood synergistic effect with a well established anti-wear additive commonly used in race car engine lubrication known as ZDDP. This truly turns out to be a case of 1+1=10 as each additive showed the ability to reduce wear and friction by 10-15%, but when combined, friction was nearly reduced by half and wear fell by 95%!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret is a phenomenon known as a durable tribofilm, which is formed under pressure causing the WS2 and other additive to form a highly lubricious solid on the surface of the metal which acts not only as a lubricating surface, but also as a wear surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SILCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40794501709870,"sku":"SILCA-AC-018-ASY-0100","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1336\/3759\/files\/silca-synergetic-drip-chain-lube-31098640924718.png?v=1713437862"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1336\/3759\/collections\/silca-bottle-of-secret-chain-lubricant-options-30745231261742_5c962f64-a95a-49c6-b8f6-b8c9192a940f.png?v=1762354752","url":"https:\/\/lifobikes.com\/collections\/chain-lube-wax.oembed","provider":"LafoBikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
