Overview

What is new in the Silca Super Secret 2.0 Chain Lube?

The Silca Super Secret 2.0 Chain Lube in the 100ml bottle is a reformulation of the drip wax that SILCA says defined the industry benchmark for drip-wax drivetrain efficiency. It keeps the core of what worked, a wax base carrying Tungsten Disulfide (WS2), the same additive Silca uses in its Secret Chain Blend hot wax, then adds a new blend of additives so the formula lasts longer than its predecessor, with significantly improved wet-weather performance.

Once cured it is clean to the touch and repels dirt and debris, for a quieter and more efficient drivetrain. SILCA has committed to being PFAS free, and SILCA developed and validated 2.0 with Team Visma | Lease a Bike. Start with a completely clean chain, apply one drop per roller while backpedaling, then let it cure fully before you ride. Best for riders chasing wax level cleanliness and efficiency without committing to a hot wax pot.

How is 2.0 different from the original Super Secret?

It is a reformulation of the original drip wax, built around a new blend of additives and smaller wax particles while keeping the Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) that made the first version work. SILCA says it lasts longer than its predecessor, with significantly improved wet-weather performance.

How do I apply it?

Start with a clean chain. SILCA says to wipe off a previously waxed chain, and to strip a previously oiled chain with Chain Stripper and let it dry. Shake well, and cross-chain to improve penetration. Apply one drop to each roller while slowly backpedaling, then backpedal several more revolutions to spread it evenly. Let the chain cure for at least 4 hours before riding. Overnight is ideal.

How often should I apply Super Secret 2.0?

SILCA says to reapply Super Secret 2.0 every 350 to 400km, or when the chain becomes noisy.

Do I need to strip the chain every time?

No. SILCA says to strip and dry a previously oiled chain with Chain Stripper. A previously waxed chain only needs a wipe before you apply it.
