What set's Silca lubricants apart is they are designed work as a family. Yes even Synergetic...let us explain. Our Secret Chain Blend hot melt wax pairs with Super Secret drip wax for a "top off" method extending your time between waxing (apply and let set overnight). Our Chain Stripper was developed to not attack or clean out wax products, and even our synergetic can work on top of wax in the most epic of conditions to get through races like Unbound and The Traka. Apply at a pit on top of wax if needed and continue on (you will need to use Chain Stripper afterward before re-waxing). This is the method we recommend to our Lifetime Grand Prix athletes for harsh conditions. It's always beneficial to start on a waxed chain, it stays clean longer, and provides more watt saving efficiency.
