What is hot melt chain Wax / dry lube?

This is essentially a method of lubricating a bicycle chain.

This involves preparing a chain by removing any factory grease / lubricants or any contaminants using a hypersonic cleaning bath.

then melting down a specially formulated bicycle wax in a wax melting pot (we use Silca secret chain wax blend). the chain is then immersed in the molten wax and removed.

The chain cools and the wax hardens on every surface of the chain - most importantly this includes the inner surfaces of the roller joints in the chain

The chain is then worked loose and is ready to go!

Yes, its a long and complex process! But that’s exacltly why we started Wax Works! with us all you need to do is send us your chain. then get ready to enjoy all the benefits of waxed chain riding without the fuss

Why you should make the switch to hot Wax?

  1. the wax is melted on and then cools dry: dry chain lubrication picks up less dirt

  2. Cleaner chain = longer life of your chain and drivetrain

  3. waxed chains are fast!

  4. you can actually handle the chain without your hands getting covered in grease

  5. With us you can pick your wax mix between

    1. Speed - Higher effeciency for races and events

    2. Endurance - longer lasting, highly effecient and more rain resistance

    3. Standard wax blend - hybrid for best of both worlds
