Silca Super Secret Chain Lube

Extending hot wax intervals

After reading ZFC data on low wear on drive train components with Silca wax and watching Silca Velo videos, made the switch to hot wax on MTB, gravel and 4 road bikes. Best results in my 50 years of riding. Used Squirt last 6 years which was improvement over Progold. Lots of mud on MTB here, wash with Silca cleaner, 5ml in bucket and scrub the bike, dry the chain with microfiber. After 5 winter rides have had no sqeaks, or rust, and added some of the SSSCL to the chain. Had tried using it on road bike chain and it seemed to run off, so added two M6 nuts and shook for 20-30 seconds, then warmed bottle in a cup of hot water; it went on the freshly dried MTB chain very well using the backpedal and drip onto chain on largest cog method. No need to drip on each link... Has dried well and filled in the gaps and super smooth running. This stuff is great.

Great Product but Doesn't Hold A Lot

The Silca Mattone is a well-made product but it's really limited in what you can get in there. There is no way I can get a spare tube, CO2 inflator, Multi-Tool and tire levers in this pack. Some of my road bike tubes fill the pack entirely. I can just about get a tube in there and a set of Pedro tire levers and that's about it. The "brick" design makes sense but somehow is more limiting than a typical seat pack. I have a smaller saddle pack (volumetrically) and I can get more items in it than I can in this Silca pack. The pictures are very misleading. 5 stars for product quality. 1 star for useability.

Silca Super Secret Chain Lube

Best non-hot wax lube, does not attract grime as some say

I can only surmise those saying their chain gets dirtier with this lube are not doing proper prep and application. When done correctly with a new chain, maintenance if so easy and the drive train function is excellent. After each ride, wipe down the chain, chain rings and give the cassette a quick pass with a rag. I get roughly 200 - 250 miles then reapply, usually when i wash my bike. I use Silca brake and drive train cleaner on the chain, rings, cassette, pulley wheels, brakes. That gets the drive train sparkling while leaving the wax lube in place. I then reapply as per the Silca video (largest cassette cog, big chain ring, applying at apex of rear cog when at max separation), leave it overnight, and good to go. Super quiet and smooth. There will be some splatter at first until you get it down as to the application -- one drop per pin, run the chain through your fingers, let it completely dry). If there is any, it wipes off easily. Used in combo with new chain stripping/cleaning, initial soak, then wipe/wash and reapply, and you are golden.

Silca Sicuro Titanium Bottle Cage

So Calif coastal
have not had to chase down a single bottle since installing on two bikes

I use 1 liter bottles - the extra weight makes bottle ejecting more likely. No bottles lost since installing (a few hundred miles of use)

I use 1 liter water bottles and the extra weight makes them more likely to be jettisoned over rough terrain - my bottles have been secure
