Questions & answers

Common questions

What makes Secret Chain Blend different from standard bike chain wax?

Secret Chain Blend is a blend of different waxes and additives designed to be extremely efficient and last up to 300 miles of riding in a single application.

How do I apply the hot wax to my chain?

Hot wax is best applied in a temperature-controlled pot like the Chain Wax System or any slow cooker. Strip the chain of grease/oil, dip the bare metal chain into the pot for 5 minutes, then hang to cool.

How long does the waxing effect last?

Secret Chain Blend lasts up to 300 miles on its own and can be topped up with Super Secret Chain Lube or re-waxed. Adding EnduranceChip can increase longevity up to 800 miles.

Will waxing this way reduce drivetrain wear?

Yes, testing confirms that a properly cared for chain with Secret Chain Blend can last over 25,000 km.

Is this wax safe for indoor application or shared pots?

It is recommended to use a dedicated pot to avoid ingesting wax or additives. Tungsten Disulfide is approved for marine paint and is extremely safe. The wax contains no PFAS chemicals.
