Rule #65's Hot Melt Chain Waxing service using Silca's Secret Chain Blend, takes the hassle out of the process and delivers multiple benefits for users; from tangible power savings and performance to longevity and a quieter transmission.
Hot-waxing your chain with Silca's Secret Chain Blend after a multi stage chain cleaning process requiring Ultra Sonic cleaners - might not be hugely convenient.
So, let us do it for you.
Our Chain Waxing service takes the hassle out of hot waxing your chain and ensures the very best in cleaning, chain preparation and hot waxing processes.
We use Silca's own Chain Stripper and Wax Prep in combination with Ultrasonics to thoroughly strip your chain of its factory lube, or whatever you have been using on your existing chain. After additional stages of penetrative cleaning, rinsing and drying we then re-bath your chain(s) in an ultrasonic unit dedicated to Silca's Secret Blend Chain Wax, before allowing it to cure and either re-fitting and/or returning it to you.
If you’ve never used a coated chain, you're missing out. Many of us spend small fortunes on our bikes but often neglect the single most important part of it. Not only are waxed chains efficient and very fast, they’re also extremely clean and surprisingly quiet.
Beyond the power savings - and often missed - the need to clean your drive train is reduced and critically, your components will last much longer.
The coating will last road riders around 350km, a little less on Gravel. The dryer the conditions the longer it will last. Even in wet conditions, wax will out perform any lube on the market.
Here's the kicker - you don't need to use lube on waxed chains. Run optimally, the best results come from rotating 2 or even 3chains.
If you ride 1000km / 620miles a month, ideally you would rotate 3 chains.
Chain 1 : Days 1-10
Chain 2 : Days 11-20
Chain 3 : Days 21-30/31
When you swap to the third chain, bring in or send us the first two chains for re-waxing.
By employing this methodolgy you will not only enjoy peak performance and minimal drivetrain wear, but you should see 25,000km from your chains!
Some will baulk at this process, but as we've said before - maintaining a clean drive train is one of thesimplest ways to reduce long term maintenance costs. Will this save you money - almost certainly. Will it save hassle and down time, no doubt. All with the benefit of enhanced performance.
We offer discounted rates for waxing 2 or more chains.
