Josh, who has been advising pro cyclists and triathletes on waxing chains for quite some time, wanted to share his specialized lubricant formula with our customers. However, the task at hand proved tricky: how to consistently melt, dip, and shake the chain using various crockpot models and temperatures. Still, the project took a fascinating turn, delving into the world of IndyCar and eventually connecting Josh with a group who had invented a technology capable of mixing micro-scale wax powders into a fast-drying solution that leaves a coating imperceptible from hot melt dipping. The combination of air-drying liquid wax and Tungsten Disulfide has proven to outperforms all hot melt waxes currently available in friction testing, and it's much quicker and simpler to apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47610933084445,"sku":"AM-AC-015-ASY-0700","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4168\/3485\/files\/silca-8-oz-super-secret-chain-lube-silca-cyclepath-pdx-1723607.webp?v=1774391242"},{"product_id":"silca-super-secret-chain-lube-4oz","title":"Silca Super Secret Chain Wax 4 oz","description":"\u003cp\u003eSILCA Super Secret Chain lube was originally created as a mission to concoct the zippiest Hot-Melt wax lube possible over a year ago.
