FAQ

Does SILCA Chain Stripper remove factory grease from a new chain?

Yes. Factory grease, old oil-based lubricants, and contaminated wax all strip completely. The chain needs to be bare metal before hot wax will bond correctly, and standard degreasers leave residue that prevents proper adhesion.

How many chain preps does a 16oz bottle get you?

Typically 8 to 12 full preps depending on chain contamination level. Riders who batch-prep multiple chains at once will find the 16oz size significantly more economical than smaller volumes.

Can it be used on cassettes and chainrings too?

Yes, it works well on cassettes, chainrings, and derailleur pulleys. Rinse with clean water after degreasing and allow all parts to dry completely before reassembly or waxing.

Best For

Riders converting to a hot wax drivetrain system who need to fully strip a new or previously-lubed chain before their first dip in SILCA Secret Chain Blend. Also essential for anyone who waxes multiple chains and wants a reliable, repeatable prep process.
