What Is SILCA Strip Chip and How Does It Work With Wax?

SILCA Strip Chip is a two-in-one product that strips old lube off a chain and primes it for wax in a single step. Add one chip to a bag with your chain, shake, and the Strip Chip formula removes residual lube, grease, and road film without the multi-solvent cleaning process typically required before hot waxing. It's designed specifically for riders who maintain waxed chains but want to skip the degreaser, rinse, dry cycle between applications. Once the chain is stripped and dry, proceed directly to hot wax or liquid wax application.

Works with SILCA Secret Chain Blend, Hot Wax X, Super Secret Chain Lube, and other wax-based drivetrain treatments. A bag of Strip Chips is the maintenance tool that removes the biggest friction point in the waxed chain workflow, making the process sustainable for weekly use rather than something you put off. If you're committed to a waxed drivetrain, this is the product that keeps it realistic. Made in the USA.
