Road and gravel riders who want a clean, quiet, low friction chain without setting up a wax pot.
Super Secret Chain Lube is a drip-on wax based lube that suits topping up a hot waxed chain or trying waxing without a melting pot. It puts micro-scale wax powder in a solution that dries fast, blended with Tungsten Disulfide. Silca says it repels dirt, runs more efficiently and prolongs drivetrain life longer than oil based lubes.
Apply one drop per link to a very clean, dry chain while turning the cranks backwards, ideally after your ride, and let it dry for at least 12 hours (24 in cool or humid weather). Silca says to reapply every 200 miles or when the chain gets noisy. This is the original formula; Silca now also sells Super Secret 2.0.

Great for
Maybe not for
One drop per link is enough. Apply between 5 and 35 C and store between 5 and 30 C.
Shake it
Silca notes the Tungsten Disulfide settles to the bottom over time, so shake the bottle well before each use.
Cold storage
Silca says long exposure to below-freezing temperatures can thicken the lube. It is still fine to use, and in extreme cases the cap may need clearing with a needle.
