Скачать или смотреть How to hot wax your bicycle chain (factory) & used chain in 1.5h with the SILCA Chain Waxing System

Here are the key steps involved in waxing a factory bicycle chain using the SILCA system:

Add 300g of SILCA Secret Chain Blend to your SILCA Chain Waxing System (00:00:07).
Add one SILCA StripChip (00:01:07) and heat to 125°C (00:01:40).
Remove a chain from its factory packaging.
Loop the chain coupler through every 8th outer link. (00:02:07).
Wait until the wax reaches the target temperature of 125°C (00:06:01).
Dip the chain into the melted wax and agitate (00:06:16). Leave it to sit for 10 minutes (00:07:17).
Then reduce the temperature to 75°C (00:07:53).
When the wax reaches 75°C, remove the chain and hang it to cool (00:09:05).
Now you can wax your old chan at 75°C for 10 minutes (00:11:17).

Install the chain and you're ready to ride.

Key products:

SILCA StripChip:
This product eliminates the need for degreasers when waxing a new chain. Its oleogelation wax-based formula binds with the factory grease, turning it into a wax-like substance.

SILCA Secret Chain Blend Hot Melt Wax:
This is the wax used in conjunction with the StripChip.

SILCA Chain Waxing System:
This system is designed to be used with the StripChip and Secret Chain Blend wax to make the waxing process easier.

Benefits of using the SILCA system:

Simplified process:
The SILCA system, using StripChip, eliminates the degreasing step, making the waxing process faster and easier.

Prolonged drivetrain life:
Waxing your chain reduces friction, which can prolong the life of your drivetrain.

Enhanced performance:
Waxing can lead to a faster and smoother ride.
Using one StripChip per new chain is sufficient to remove factory grease. You can reuse the same batch of wax for up to six new chains. After the sixth chain, it's recommended to use a new bag of wax due to the ratio of oleogelator to wax. A 500g bag of wax is generally enough for 40–50 waxings.
