Completely strip your chain with Silca Chain Stripper in a quick and easy process that prepares your chain for waxing in just 10 minutes. Whether you choose to submerge the chain o r simply drip the solution onto it, the next steps are straightforward: rinse the chain thoroughly and then apply Super Secret wax. This efficient method eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and reduces the labor typically associated with chain waxing, making it a hassle-free solution for cyclists looking to maintain their bike's performance with minimal effort. The Silca Chain Stripper revolutionizes the preparation process for converting to a waxed drivetrain, tackling the major challenge of stripping factory lubricant from chains to allow for optimal wax adherence. Traditionally, this involved multiple solvents and rinsing steps to remove greases and oils. However, Silca has simplified this process with an innovative approach. What It Does: SILCA Chain Stripper is a groundbreaking organic cleaner that lifts and encapsulates greases and oils, making them easy to rinse away from the metal surface. It's designed to not only cleanse but also prime the metal for better wax adhesion, presenting itself as the world’s first wax-optimized chain cleaner. Key Benefits: Efficiency: Significantly reduces the preparation time for waxing a chain. Effectiveness: Enhances wax adhesion, extending the life of the wax application by up to 30% compared to traditional cleaning methods. Convenience: Offers two simple application options for different waxing methods. Eco-friendly: The formula is biodegradable, minimizing environmental impact. Application Options: Hot-Melt Waxing: Immerse the new factory chain in the Chain Stripper and agitate for 30 seconds. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, agitate again for 30 seconds. Rinse the chain with water, then immediately place it into hot wax. The residual water will evaporate quickly, allowing the wax to coat effectively. Drip Wax Application: For a new or nearly new chain still on the bicycle, apply a drop of Chain Stripper to each roller while backpedalling. Allow to soak for 5 minutes, then backpedal the crank for 10 revolutions to spread the cleaner. Reapply a drop per roller, let it sit for another 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water while continuing to backpedal. The Silca Chain Stripper is an essential tool for cyclists looking to streamline their transition to a waxed drivetrain, ensuring thorough cleaning and optimal preparation with less hassle and more efficiency. ________Specifications: Biodegradable ingredients Cleans chain in 10 minutes Improves wax treatment adhesion Strip chain on or off bike Made in USA Show more
