A goal of ours at #Silca is to improve the cycling experience (on and off the bike). That could be by lowering the barrier for chain waxing or even just getting a chain super clean for your preferred oil based lube (we highly recommend our Synergetic, independently tested as the best on the market) . Chain Stripper cuts out the time and effort for both of those, one product and done in just 10 minutes. After all almost every product on the market says "Start with a clean dry chain."
