FAQs

How often should I apply the Silca Super Secret Chain Lube?

Apply the lube after your ride so it's ready for next time. The frequency of application depends on riding conditions. Check the chain regularly and reapply when needed.

Can I use this lube on a new chain?

Yes, but it's recommended to clean the new chain of any factory applied lubricants first.

How do I clean my chain before applying the lube?

Use a chain cleaner degreaser to remove old lubricants, dirt, and debris. Rinse and thoroughly dry the chain before applying the Silca Super Secret Chain Lube.

What is Tungsten Disulfide (WS2)?

Tungsten Disulfide is the world's fastest, most lubricious additive, providing exceptional friction reduction and drivetrain performance.

How does this compare to hot-melt waxing?

Silca Super Secret Chain Lube offers similar performance to hot-melt wax but is much easier and faster to apply.

Can I use this lube in wet conditions?

Yes, it is more water resistant than many other lubes, but reapplication may be needed more frequently in wet conditions.

How should I store the Silca Super Secret Chain Lube?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake well before each use.

What is the shelf life of the Silca Super Secret Chain Lube?

The product does not have an expiration date. However, ensure that it is stored properly.

Troubleshooting

Chain feels rough or noisy after application.

Ensure the chain was thoroughly cleaned before application and that the lube had adequate drying time. Reapply the lubricant, following the instructions carefully.

Lube appears to be flaking off the chain.

The chain may not have been completely dry, or too much lube may have been applied. Clean and reapply, using a thinner coat and allowing for proper drying time.

WS2 additive is not evenly distributed.

Shake the bottle vigorously before each application to ensure even distribution.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved chain efficiency and speed.
  • Reduced friction for a smoother ride.
  • Easy application process.
  • Keeps drivetrain cleaner compared to traditional lubes.
  • Long-lasting performance between applications.

Cons

  • Requires proper cleaning and drying of the chain before application.
  • Optimal performance needs a drying time of at least 12 hours.
  • WS2 will settle to the bottom of the bottle over time and needs to be shaken well before using.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Before applying the Silca Super Secret Chain Lube, thoroughly clean your chain to remove any old lubricant, dirt, or debris. A clean chain is crucial for optimal performance.
  2. Application: Apply the lube to the chain while it is very clean and dry. Apply according to the video (not provided). Ensure that the lube covers all parts of the chain.
  3. Drying Time: Allow the chain to dry for at least 12 hours for optimal results. If applied in cool or humid conditions, allow 24 hours for complete drying. This drying period allows the wax and Tungsten Disulfide to fully bond with the chain.
  4. Compatibility: This lube is compatible with all standard bicycle chains. Ensure your chain is compatible with wax-based lubricants.
  5. Care: Over time, the WS2 additive will settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure even distribution of the Tungsten Disulfide. Store the lubricant in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
