Why We Like The Secret Chain Blend
Keeping up to date on the maintenance of your bike is important, but we know it can be a pain sometimes. Thankfully, Silca designed the Secret Chain Blend to make it easier for us. This hot wax chain blend consists of a high concentration of 3 nano-scale Tungsten disulfide and highly refined paraffin. The Secret Chain Blend not only acts as a lubricant but also modifies the surface of the chain by filling the metal with wear-resistant tungsten disulfide particles. As the only hot wax to match the compatible drip wax, topping off the wax to your chain as needed extends the duration needed between applications and ensures a super quiet drivetrain.

Extremely long chain break in Duraace 12
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Beware of very long break in period when starting with a new DA 12 speed chain (not an issue with my 11 speed, may have something to do with the coatings). Stiff chain and skipping cog for 1 hour. 11T still skipping under load for 3.5-4 hours.

Waxing a chain seemed like overkill and a hassle but I'm really glad I switched over to wax. I don't know if I'm any faster but my drive train is much quieter. Not having a dirty chain is a big plus and I don't have to worry about lubing my chain on regular basis. Most of my rides are on dry gravel so having a dry lube chain works for me. I'm thinking about keeping a wet chain around as a backup for those times when I'm riding in wet and/or muddy conditions.
