SILCA Hot Wax Chain Service
Professional Immersive Chain Waxing

Have The Cycle Workshop carry out a professional hot wax chain treatment on your bike, using the SILCA chain waxing system and SILCA Secret Chain Blend.

Why Hot Wax A Chain?

Hot waxing is widely regarded as one of the cleanest and most efficient drivetrain lubrication methods available. Unlike traditional oil-based lubricants that attract dirt and create grinding paste inside the drivetrain, hot wax penetrates the chain and leaves behind a dry, clean lubricating layer that reduces contamination.

The result is:

A cleaner drivetrain
Reduced drivetrain wear
Smoother running
Lower friction
Less maintenance mess
Longer component life

For road, gravel, and performance riders, immersive waxing has become increasingly popular due to its combination of drivetrain efficiency and cleanliness.

Why Chain Preparation Matters

For hot waxing to work correctly, the chain must be completely free from factory grease and oil contamination.

Simply adding wax to an oily chain will not provide the full benefits of immersive waxing.

This is why proper preparation and degreasing are essential. We use ultrasonic cleaning and a full strip/degrease process to ensure the wax bonds correctly to the chain internals.

Important Information:

Waxed chains require different maintenance compared to traditional oil lubricants.
For best performance, rewaxing should be carried out periodically depending on riding conditions and mileage.
Heavily contaminated or excessively worn chains may not be suitable for waxing.
Some chains may require additional cleaning stages depending on previous lubricant use.

If you are unsure which service is suitable for your bike, please contact us and we will be happy to advise.
