FAQ

Do you still have to degrease a new chain when using SILCA StripChip?

No, SILCA StripChip eliminates the need to degrease a new factory-greased chain before waxing. The chain goes straight from the package into the hot wax pot with one chip, which converts the factory grease into wax as it goes.

Can SILCA StripChip clean a chain that has already run oil-based lube?

No, SILCA StripChip is designed for new chains with factory grease only. For a chain that has run any oil-based lubricant, strip it first with SILCA Ultimate Chain Stripper before waxing.

Does SILCA StripChip reduce wax performance?

No, SILCA reports no drop in performance versus traditional degreasing prep when StripChip is used correctly on new factory-greased chains. The converted grease behaves like the surrounding wax, so the drivetrain runs as clean, quiet, and efficient as a fully stripped chain.

Best For

Hot wax riders and mechanics who want to take a brand-new chain from the factory package to fully waxed in about 10 minutes without a bench full of solvents, especially anyone setting up multiple chains who wants a faster, cleaner, repeatable prep step.
