  Came for the waxing demo, walked away the nifty filter trick that solves my issue of knowing when to stop reusing the cleaner. Thanks Josh!

  Two years ago I was a vendor at Leadville. I got my booth set up the day before and went about waxing my chain in my Sprinter van using a pot on the stove top. A dude popped his head in and asked what I was doing. I told him I was waxing my chain using Silca secret chain blend wax and that he really needed to check it out because of how awesome it works. The guys name was Josh. You can probably guess who I'm taking about. It was super funny! BTW, Josh is a really great guy in person and literally a freeking rocket scientist with the best stories to tell abut the cycling world!

  I have done 2 chains with the Stripper Chip/Chain Waxing System. Loved the idiot-proofness (good for me) and it resulted in what seems to be a very good end product. Due to weather, have only been able to put 150km on the chains so far, but if they make it to 250-300km before needing to be re-waxed, then this whole thing is a huge winner. I don’t really care about the efficiency gains, just the cleanliness and wear longevity. Well done.

  There’s a lot of haters out there in cyberspace about waxed chains but I can tell everyone that it only takes one ride on a freshly waxed chain to feel the incredible difference

  I have a crock pot with your wax, I have a large ultrasonic cleaner and plenty of solvents.  I just filled your beautiful t controlled pot (Arrived last week) with a new bag of wax and will be getting one or both of your de-greasing systems.  Thank you for making this so simple and uncomplicated.  Now there is no reason for any one to use any thing other than wax!   I just love this system, and your wax emulsion (I use it every 100 to 150 miles and keeps things running great for 1000 miles between hot waxings)

  Great video, just ordered the Silva smelter today and I feel totally ready to wax a chain for the first time ever. Totally looking forward for it to arrive.

  Been waxing for few years and have gone from buying wax from a hobby store and using multiple jars and days for stripping to the SILCA method.  No more getting yelled at by my wife for the wax drippings.  I know there are naysayers out there, but if you put the miles down like I do you will get a lot more miles out of every chain making the price of the SILACA system negligible.  Thanks for being a company that is transparent and informative.  Big fan.
