Shop / park tool chain cleaner
The SILCA Chain Stripper is the ultimate solution for perfectly cleaning your bicycle chain. Undoubtedly, the biggest hurdle for individuals transitioning to a waxed drivetrain has been the need to completely remove the factory lubricant from the chain to allow the wax to properly adhere. Traditional methods have involved using multiple solvents and rinse steps, moving from non-polar solvents that thin greases and oils to more polar solvents that evaporate quickly to eliminate residues.
In designing the SILCA Chain Stripper, the team started with the end goal in mind and worked backwards, identifying chemicals that would effectively remove greases and oils while promoting wax adhesion to the metal. The result is an organic cleaner that lifts and encapsulates greases and oils, allowing them to be easily rinsed away from the metal surface. This makes the SILCA Chain Stripper the world's first wax-optimized chain cleaner, not only removing greases and oils but also priming the metal surface for improved adhesion of wax lubricants.
The SILCA Chain Stripper is a highly concentrated degreaser combined with a wax adhesion promoter (primer), enabling fast, single-step preparation of factory-greased chains for waxing while also improving wax adhesion and increasing longevity. This reduces the time and number of chemicals required to properly prep a factory-greased chain to less than 10 minutes, and it can even be used to prepare chains on the bicycle for drip wax application.
The product comes in a 4oz bottle with an applicator tip, allowing for easy on-bike application. However, for the best results, it is recommended to remove the chain from the bicycle and add it to a jar for agitation. The package also includes a 4oz bottle of SILCA's award-winning Super Secret wax-based lubricant, the perfect product to protect and silence your chain.
To use the SILCA Chain Stripper for hot-melt waxing a new, factory chain with SILCA Secret Blend Hot Melt, simply immerse the chain in the stripper and agitate for 30 seconds. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes, then agitate again for 30 seconds. Remove the chain from the stripper, rinse with water, and then drop it directly into the hot wax. The water will boil off within a few minutes, and the chain will be fully waxed with up to 30% longer application life than a chain cleaned by traditional methods.
After removing all factory grease or road contamination, apply 1 drop of Super Secret to the chain and then use your fingers to massage the lube into the chain. Let the chain sit for 24 hours after the initial application to allow the liquid wax to fully cure before the first ride. Re-applying the lube to the chain requires an overnight wait before the next ride.
The SILCA Chain Stripper and Super Secret liquid wax lubricants offer a comprehensive solution for cleaning and maintaining your bicycle chain, resulting in a cleaner, more efficient, and longer-lasting drivetrain. Made in the USA with biodegradable ingredients, this product is environmentally conscious and safe for use on all types of bicycle and motorcycle chains.
