Chain wax FAQ
Why wax your chain?
Traditional lube is wet and even in the best conditions attracts and holds dirt. Hot wax dries solid and polishes to a smooth surface that dirt can't get into.
Is chain wax better than drip lube?
Yes. It saves watts, it saves money, and a waxed chain can last up to ten times longer than one run on drip lube.
Do waxed chains last longer?
Wax stops the metal surfaces inside the chain rubbing together, so it takes far longer to wear — which also preserves your cassette, chainrings and jockey wheels.
How often do I need to re-wax?
On dry roads, top up with a drip wax every 200 miles and re-dip every 1,000–1,500 miles. Dry off-road, roughly half that. In the wet you may want to re-wax after each wet ride.
What's the best way to run a waxed chain?
Run two chains in rotation: ride one until it needs re-waxing, then swap to the other. Replace both at 0.5% wear — you'll usually get two or three sets of chains through one cassette.
Is there a drip wax option?
Yes. Have your chain hot waxed when you buy it from us, then top up with Silca Synergetic drip wax — or use drip wax on its own from a clean chain.
