▬▬▬▬ Video Overview ▬▬▬▬
What changed in SILCA Super Secret 2.0, and how close is it really to hot melt chain wax?
Josh Poertner answers more questions about the new Super Secret 2.0 wax-based drip lubricant, including how it was used at the Tour de France, what changed in the formula, how the new tungsten disulfide (WS2) fullerenes work, expected chain lubrication intervals, and how Super Secret 2.0 compares with SILCA Secret Chain Blend Hot Melt Wax.
Josh also covers how to use Super Secret 2.0 to maintain a hot-waxed bicycle chain, why the wax coating still needs at least four hours to dry and cure, how temperature and humidity affect drying time, proper storage temperatures, and why the new 100 mL bottle is smaller than the previous version.
If you use drip wax, hot melt chain wax, or a combination of both, this video gives answers to common questions about where Super Secret 2.0 fits into your drivetrain maintenance routine and what the changes mean for real-world riding.
