About SILCA Super Secret Chain Wax Coating for Bicylces
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
76% liked its ability to clean the chain, but 24% found it left residue
The drivetrain stays much cleaner with no more black gunk on my legs/pants compared to oil-based lubes.
I suggest cleaning the chain before applying the lube by giving it a warm bath in an ultrasonic cleaner filled with de-greaser for about 30 minutes followed by a rinse with denatured alcohol.
I have noticed that the lube picks up enough dirt to make re-application an issue, requiring thorough cleaning before re-application.
Rephrased:
The lube requires thorough cleaning before re-application as it picks up enough dirt to make it an issue.
81% found it easy to apply, while 19% struggled with the process
The bike-lube is difficult to apply without splattering it on the carbon wheel rims because it is non-viscous and thin.
85% appreciated its long-lasting effect, but 15% found it broke down quickly
According to Silca website, prolonged exposure to below-freezing temperatures can cause viscosity breakdown to the Super Secret Chain Lube.
85% praised for its excellent lubrication, while 15% thought it wore off quickly
After using the lube, my chain made a loud noise after just two rides of less than 20 miles, indicating poor lubrication performance of the product.
