Summer Gear We Love | Silca Chain Wax

Clean, quiet, and crazy fast—here’s why we’re hooked on this summer drivetrain essential.

Why Chain Waxing?


1.  You will be faster. It is literally free speed.  Depending upon what kind of lube you are currently using, Silca wax will get you between 3 and 10 watts. 


2.  Your drive train will last much, much longer.  As much as Venture Sports and every other bike shop loves to sell you new chains, cassettes and chain rings, wouldn’t you rather spend your money on other things? By waxing your chains you will preserve the life of your drivetrain and the need to replace parts less often.


3.  Waxed chains stay incredibly clean—no more greasy calf tattoos, messy hands, or chain marks on your gear. You can ride hard and still brush up against your bike without ruining your clothes.


4.  Believe it or not, waxing is actually easier than using traditional lube. Once your chain and drivetrain are clean, all it takes is a quick wipe and a dip in the hot wax. That’s it—low effort, high reward, and totally hassle-free.

Think chain waxing is just for gearheads? Think again.

In this quick video, we break down why waxing your chain isn’t just cleaner—it’s faster, cheaper, and actually less work than traditional lube. Whether you’re chasing podiums or weekend miles, this is one upgrade your drivetrain will thank you for.
