The ultimate in Marginal Gains for when all out speed is the priority. Partnering with the Nobel Prize winning scientists who discovered graphene, we are the only company certified to be using Nanene® in chain wax. Specifications: - Saves up to 12w - Save half a watt over Secret Chain Blend - 300g - Up to 800km re-wax intervals - Clean to the touch on the chain - No PFAS chemicals - Get up to 30,000 km out of a chain Description: During the development of Secret Chain Blend Hot Melt chain wax, Josh put considerable effort into looking at all possible friction modifiers including Graphene. Sadly, he found that this ‘wonder material’ generally made little to no difference in performance despite it’s very high price, how could this be? So in an attempt to get to the bottom of this Josh went directly to the original source of graphene, Versarien® PLC, a company formed from the partnership between the University of Cambridge and the University of Manchester (where graphene was discovered) and is one of only three graphene producers in the world to be certified by the Graphene Council as producing true graphene. Versarien® produces the highest purity graphene in the world which they call Nanene™. “From our first test with Nanene™, we knew that real Graphene was indeed, the future.” Says Josh Poertner, President of SILCA. “Everything we could throw at it showed it excelling over our existing technologies, and that says a lot when our Secret Chain Blend Hot Wax is already considered to be the fastest and lowest wearing lubricant in the world as independently tested by numerous third party laboratories including ZeroFrictionCycling and Tour Magazin Germany. As a core part of our product development, SILCA have also entered into a partnership with the Ray Ewry Sports Engineering Center (RESEC) at Purdue University just up the road from SILCA headquarters. The RESEC is lead by Jan-Anders Mansson former President of the International Academy of Sports Science and Technology (AISTS), an International Olympic Committee (IOC) co-founded organization. RESEC is an engineering-based sports research center focusing on next generation technologies impacting the sports field. RESEC is also currently developing multiple technologies for measurement of drivetrain efficiency, as well as standardization of smart trainers for E-racing in collaboration with UCI.

The Iconic SILCA 24.1 gasket is the heart of the press-on Presta chuck. The current 242 gasket utilizes a high tech and very red, fully synthetic elastomer base material.

The factory replacement for SILCA Press on Disc Chucks. The 252 replace the classic SILCA 25.1 gasket after more than 20 years in the market. This unique gasket borrows from industries which require air-tight seals in the harshest of environments. The 252 gasket utilizes a high tech, full synthetic elastomer base material. It tests to a life expectancy of more than 5X the carbon filled rubber or Buna-N materials used previously. In tests with a major disc wheel manufacturer, the current SILCA Disc Wheel Adapter with 252 gasket excelled by posting a blow-off pressure of 393psi where other designs were unable to reach 120psi. Older versions of the SILCA Disc Wheel Adapter will still benefit for the new gasket, but have a lower hands-free max pressure.

This chuck comes from the same vendor who supplied them to SILCA pumps for more than 25 years. It makes a great replacement or addition if you are buying a new Stainless Presta chuck or CP1 Disc Adapter for your older pump. This part is made from nickel-plated brass and uses an o-ring to seal the connection. - Hose barb fits into all SILCA hoses both old and new - Threads onto Schrader valves and all SILCA chucks with male Schrader threads (17-4 Presta chuck, HIRO, and CP1 Disc Adapter) - All metal construction, nickel-plated brass

Modern carbon rims and tires create a real challenge for traditional tire levers, and the new wave of tubeless setups have taken the challenge to the next level. Tire fits are tighter than they've ever been, while carbon rims require non-metal levers to resist damage to the bead or brake surface during use. Previous solutions to this problem have involved using a metal core inside of a plastic lever however, this solution has its own challenges as the core of the lever is where you can add the least stiffness and strength. This leaves metal core levers both less stiff and heavier than they need to be. - Forged alloy blade - Reinforced nylon Rim Shield safe for use on carbon rims - Integrated spoke-hook wing - 105mm x 25mm x 7mm (Perfect for Seat Roll Premio or EOLO Wallet) - Weight (Two levers and neoprene sleeve)—36 grams

n partnership with the rubber and tire experts at Continental , we are offering a custom extruded 3/16" ID air hose compatible with all historic PISTA Handles.

The smallest spool valve CO2 regulator on the market. Branded with our Italian heritage, the EOLO regulator is a new take on the oldest CO2 regulator head. Who's it for? The cyclist looking for the smallest and most reliable CO2 Regulator on the market for those essential road-side repairs. Why we designed it: In 1982 SILCA developed the first regulated CO2 inflator. As Claudio himself explained, 'Before EOLO, you had to turn the cartridge and pray!' Giving the user the ability to regulate the flow of gas into the tire was the key to widespread adoption of compressed gas for roadside use. EOLO III builds on the SILCA tradition by using an ultra-precise spool valve design with light action spring to give the user perfect control of the flow into the tire. The full metal construction of the EOLO III contains no plastic parts and is manufactured entirely from 6063 series aluminum and stainless steel. Hardened tool steel puncture pin is more than 2X the hardness of traditional puncture pins to ensure smooth operation in all conditions over many years. Specifications: - 6063 series aluminum body with Red-White-Green Insulators - Lightest spring action of any spring-valve regulator - Hardened tool steel puncture pin - 'Camera-lens' style valve head allows for easy installation even in disc wheels

The Ultimate Wear Reducing lubricant for E-Bikes. Based on our own award winning Synergetic lubricant, the first and only wet lube to record a 0.0% wear block in Zero Friction Cycling lab testing, Synerg-E takes our patent pending Tungsten Tribofilm Technology and blends it into a higher viscosity lubricant optimized for the high torque experienced in E-Bike drivetrains. E-bike chains experience more than 2X the internal pressures of traditional bike chain, and are capable of wearing out expensive drivetrain components like chains, chainrings, and cassettes at more than twice the rate of traditional bicycles. By increasing viscosity and adding Calcium Sulfonate to the mix, Synerg-E gives up roughly 1 watt of pure efficiency to Synergetic, while nearly doubling the oil film strength to ensure the lowest rates of chain and drivetrain wear of any lubricant currently available. As with all SILCA lubricants, Synerg-E uses only the finest, environmentally friendly pure synthetic base oils with additives approved as safe by the EPA and Bureau of Land Management. Synerg-E contains NO PFAS or other Fluorinated chemicals.

SILCA Synergetic oil has tested internally to be the fastest and quietest oil-based lubricant ever tested, losing only 4.9 watts on 250 input (98.1% efficiency), however, it really begins to shine when focusing on longevity and durability of the chain and mating components. Best of all, because the lubricant forms a durable tribofilm at the metal surface, and is strongly attracted to itself, the lube proves to be exceptionally waterproof, remaining inside the chain even in testing under full water submersion, the lubricant is not displaced!  - 2oz Squeeze bottle with 18ga. Luer Lock Precision Applicator Tip - 12,000+ miles of lubricant per bottle - Ultra-high wearing, ultra-quiet, ultra waterproof wet lube - For best results apply to clean/dry chain. For good results may apply to new factory-lubed chain and will fully displace the factory lube within 4-5 applications

The simple solution to roadside inflation. Thread the cartridge on, press it onto the valve, and air is in your tire. No-nonsense approach that you can count on to get you home in a pinch. - Aluminum body with rubber insulators - Spring regulated air flow - Light action spring - Hardened tool steel puncture pin In 1982 SILCA developed the first regulated CO2 inflator. As Claudio himself explained, 'Before EOLO, you had to turn the cartridge and pray!' Giving the user the ability to regulate the flow of gas into the tire was the key to widespread adoption of compressed gas for roadside use. EOLO IV builds on the SILCA tradition by dial design give the user perfect control of the flow into the tire. The full metal construction of the EOLO IV contains no plastic parts and is manufactured entirely from 6063 series aluminum and stainless steel.

The Italian Army Knife, a very SILCA take on the traditional multi-tool. We've addressed the things that frustrate us with conventional multi-tools, while keeping the layout that fits conveniently in the SILCA EOLO Wallet or MATTONE. The mid-length tool design is long enough to provide access to recessed fasteners, but short enough not to experience twist or damage under moderate torque as can happen on longer tools. All tools are forged rather than bent from hex stock. While this method of construction is more expensive, the value is unquestioned during a road-side repair. Mid-length tools also allow us to position the tools within the same plane, reducing the thickness of the overall package by half. Double-chromed tools and fully stainless steel hardware and bushings guarantee a long life without corrosion (the number 1 killer of multi-tools is corrosion). Forged aluminum sidebars contain rare-earth magnets for holding a spare chain connector. - Forged and machined sidebars with integrated chain-connector storage. - Nove (No-vay) 9 forged and plated tools: Hex 2/3/4/5/6/8 +Torx 25 +PH2/Flat - 8mm adapter connects to the 5mm hex for optimal use of space. - Stainless steel pivot hardware - NOVE- 79 grams

Completely strip and prep your chain for wax in 10 minutes. Submerge the chain or even just drip it on the chain, rinse, and apply super secret. Take all the work and harsh chemicals out of chain waxing! Specifications: - Biodegradable ingredients - Cleans chain in 10 minutes - Improves wax treatment adhesion - Strip chain on or off bike - Made in USA Far and away, the largest hurdle for people converting to a waxed drivetrain has always been the need to completely strip the factory lubricant from the chain in order for the wax to properly adhere. Traditional methods have involved using 2-3 different solvents and rinse steps, moving from non-polar solvents that thin greases and oils to progressively more polar solvents that evaporate quickly to eliminate residues. For the design of SILCA Chain Stripper, we started from the end and worked backwards, identifying chemicals which drive out greases and oils while promoting wax adhesion to metal. The result is an organic cleaner that lifts and encapsulates greases and oils allowing them to easily be rinsed away from the metal surface. The result is the world's first wax optimized chain cleaner which not only removes greases and oils, but actually primes the metal surface for improved adhesion from wax lubricants. The aggressive 'lift and encapsulate' action of SILCA chain stripper allows for 2 quick and easy cleaning options. Option 1: For hot-melt waxing a new, factory chain with SILCA Secret Blend Hot Melt, simply immerse the chain in the Stripper and agitate 30 seconds. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes and agitate again for 30 seconds. Remove the chain from the Stripper and rinse with water and then drop the chain directly into the hot wax, the water will boil off within a few minutes and the chain will be fully waxed with up to 30% longer application life than a chain cleaned by traditional methods. Option 2: For drip applied waxing of a new or nearly new chain with SILCA Super Secret without removing the chain from the bicycle. Apply 1 drop of SILCA Chain Stripper to each roller of the chain while backpedalling. Allow to soak for 5 minutes. Backpedal 10 revolutions of the crank to agitate cleaner and re-apply 1 drop per roller allowing to sit for 5 more minutes. Rinse with clean water while backpedalling at least 10 revolutions.

The YPSILON (pronounced ip.si.lon) is SILCA’s take on the unassuming Y-wrench. Most tools in this layout feature 4mm, 5mm and 6mm keys; meaning that the wrenches for some of the most common use cases in cycling are readily available in one tool. The shape of the Y-wrench also offers superior control and stability over traditional hex keys, especially in tighter work spaces. WHO'S IT FOR? Uncompromising cyclists and mechanics alike who obsess over every fine detail and desire a versatile Y-wrench. WHY WE DESIGNED IT: Ypsilon was designed by a team of engineers and mechanics who obsess over improving products. The body of the tool is constructed using a composite polymer with soft over-mold grips. Unlike traditional Y-wrench designs, YPSILON is customizable and adaptable to the mechanic’s preferences. This is accomplished by using a ¼” bit collet with magnetic bit attachment in place of a fixed 6mm hex. This departure from the traditional Y-wrench design was inspired by the versatility of our T-Ratchet + Ti Torque kit. The YPSILON can easily transform into any required ¼” based tool by swapping out the bit. SPECIFICATIONS: - High strength CrV steel spine leading to 4mm and 5mm hex - Lightweight composite polymer body with ergonomic grips - ¼” bit collet with magnetic bit attachment

When we launched Secret Chain Lube, Josh admitted that the starting point for this product was a hot wax recipe he had used for years with pro teams that had won numerous world and Olympic medals. The idea behind Secret Chain Lube was to bring this technology to a lube that didn't require hot melting, but it turns out many of our customers were already big fans of hot waxing chains, and the requests flooded in for us to release the SILCA Secret Wax Blend...so here it is! Consisting of highly refined laboratory-grade paraffin and a high concentration of 3 specific sizes of nano-scale Tungsten disulfide, Secret Chain Blend not only acts as a lubricant but actually acts to modify the surface of the chain, filling in all of the crevices of the metal with highly lubricious and wear-resistant tungsten disulfide particles. As a result, chains waxed with Secret Chain Blend and Secret Chain Lube will actually get faster over time and after repeated waxings. Secret Chain Blend is the only hot wax lubricant to have a specifically matched and compatible drip wax that can be used to 'top off' the wax as needed, extending the duration between hot wax applications, and guaranteeing the quietest running drivetrain possible. Using the combination of Secret Chain Blend and Secret Chain Lube can dramatically extend the chain and drivetrain component life (up to 10x). - 500g / 17.6oz pouch - The chain should be VERY clean and dry before applying

SILCA Super Secret Chain Lube brings all of the super speed and silent running of a hot-melt wax-dipped chain to a drip applied wax (all of the benefits, none of the hassle!). Secret Chain lube also utilizes the world's fastest, most lubricious additive, nano-scale Tungsten Di-Sulfide. NanoPlatelet WS2 has less than 1/3 the dynamic coefficient of friction of PTFE and 1/4 that of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) Who's it for? The cyclist looking to maximize performance through friction reduction, or the cyclist who loves a silent running bicycle. Why we designed it? SILCA Super Secret Chain lube started out as a project to develop the fastest Hot-Melt wax lubricant available more than a year ago. Josh has been recommending Hot Melt Wax and helping Pro cyclists and triathletes wax chains for years and wanted to bring his lubricant formula to our customers, the challenge was how to consistently melt, dip and agitate the chain across different crockpot designs and temperatures. The project took a fascinating turn from the world of IndyCar when josh was introduced to a group that had developed a technology to put micro-scale wax powders into a solution that was quick drying and forms a coating that is indiscernible from hot melt dipping. The combination of air-drying liquid wax and Tungsten Disulfide would quickly prove to beat all currently available hot melt waxes in friction testing while being much faster and easier to apply. THE ENVIRONMENT: Best of all perhaps is that this formula would prove to be very environmentally friendly, utilizing 4 different types of wax, nano platelets of WS2 (Tungsten Disulfide), and mild alcohol to act as a carrier. This same alcohol is used in the SILCA Gear Wipes, making them a perfect product to clean and remove Secret Chain Lube. Specifications 4 oz. and 8 oz. bottles with the precision applicator tip for dripping on your chain or 16 oz. jar with 12 oz. lube (leaving room for your chain) for dipping the chain The chain should be VERY clean and dry before applying. Apply according to video and let dry for AT LEAST 12 Hours for optimal results, 24 hours if applied in cool or humid weather conditions! We recommend applying the lube AFTER your ride so it's ready for next time! NOTE: Over time the WS2 will begin to settle to the bottom of the bottle, shake well before using! APPLYING THE LUBE (NOTE UPDATE!) 1. Be sure to have chainline relatively straight (53/15 or so) 2. Shake bottle well and open tip halfway 3. Begin applying drip lube to top of rollers while pedaling backward. Be sure to apply at least 1 drop per roller and no more than 2 drops per roller while continuing to backpedal. 4. Use fingers on top-bottom of chain to work the lube into rollers while backpedaling at least 3-4 revolutions. 5. Pedal forward shifting all the way to top of the cassette, pedal for at least 3-4 revolutions. The extreme chain angle opens gaps between plates to allow the lube to better work into the chain. Continue pedaling, shifting through all gears on the rear cassette at least once. 6. Stop pedaling and allow Secret Chain Lube to dry for minimum 12 hours, test results show that lube is fully hardened in 24 hours. ZeroFrictionCycling found SSCL to be best dry lube EVER Tested after 8 hours drying, but would be EVEN BETTER after 24 hours!! 7. SILCA Gear Wipes may be used to remove any excess lube from chainrings if you desire a cleaner look. Note: Temperature and Humidity will affect drying time of SSCL, and the dryer it is when you ride it, the longer it will last. Drying time will also be affected by temperature, lube will dry faster in warmer temperatures and at lower humidity, and lube will take longer to dry in cold or more humid conditions. We recommend 24 hours as the optimal drying time.

Named after the Italian word for Brick, Mattone is a water-resistant, ultra-compact seat bag that attaches to the rails using the BOA® Closure System. Unique zipper design allows it to be accessed while on the bike, or to open like a book when removed from the bike for easy access. Who's it for? Mattone is for the cyclist looking to carry a spare tube, CO2, Multi-Tool, and some cash in a discrete, water-resistant package. Internal divider holds ID, credit card or cash while also protecting your tube from your multi-tool! WHY WE DESIGNED IT: Seat bag users fall into two categories: Seat Roll aficionados and seat bag users. Traditionally, seat bags have been simple open spaces that allowed content to jangle about, making noise and rubbing against each other. Often times a spare tube was pulled out of a seat bag to reveal it was more full of holes than the tube being replaced due to friction against a house key or multi-tool. With Mattone, we designed a layout similar to a book, where the bag can fully open to hold the tube and CO2 cartridge on one side, separated by a padded ballistic nylon ‘page’ separating it from the other side where you can store an inflator head, multi-tool, contact lens case, etc. The ‘page’ also contains a slot for a credit card, ID, money, or house key. The unique off-center Aquaguard Zipper allows the case to completely open and lay flat when off the bike, while also allowing easy access to the multi-tool and money/card slots when on the bike without risk of spilling all the contents of the bag. A high friction Hypalon strap with BOA® Closure completes the package. Making more than 15x the power of Velcro®, the BOA® Closure uses a ratcheting mechanism that will not creep or loosen even under the most extreme vibration and impact. This ensures the Mattone will remain ‘high and tight’ under your saddle until you need to access it... no swinging, swaying, or rattling... ever. SPECIFICATIONS: - Exterior - Sleek black finish with reflective graphics - Interior - Hi-contrast red material with separate ID, credit card or money flap - Interior Volume - Holds one inner tube, one CO2 cartridge, one tire lever (all of these components are sold separately and are not included) - BOA® Closure System with open guide release on Hypalon retaining strap - YKK Aquaguard® zipper - Outside Dimensions: 13cm x 8.5cm x 5.5cm - Volume: Approximately .61 L - Strap Measurements: 27cm x 4.5cm

Tour Magazine's 2020 Test Winner! NASTRO CUSCINO is a Tri-Laminate 3.75 mm thick tape that provides cushioning and comfort equivalent to 5 mm of traditional bar tape foam. CUSCINO has a strong texture, medium-high tackiness, and printed silicone graphics which adds comfort and grip in both wet and dusty conditions. Who's it for? NASTRO CUSCINO is for the cyclist looking for the most comfortable bar tape to help conquer cobbles, gravel, CX, rain and indoor conditions. CUSCINO is optimal for cyclists experiencing sore or numb hands or are frustrated with slippery bar tapes in rainy or sweaty conditions. Why we designed it: Inspired by advancements in running shoe foam and F1 tires as well as our own research into rolling efficiency, impedance and damping, we realized that new materials technology could allow for a significant improvement in bar tape. Using a laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon and 3M Visco-elastic adhesive instead of a single foam extrusion, the tape can be optimized across a range of desired features. The resulting tape has a softer, more comfortable feel, higher wet and dry grip, better vibration isolation, and 3-5x the durability of existing tape materials. Since the actual wrap of the tape can be as important as the tape itself, we’ve also developed a full adhesive-backed ‘butterfly’ to better cover the back of the lever clamp area without adding bulk, a high grip finishing tape and expanding aluminum/composite end plugs to ensure every detail is perfect. Specifications: - Ultra Performance 3.75mm thick Tri-Laminate design delivers equivalent cushioning to 5.0mm tapes of traditional materials - SILCAlon (2-Hour Marathon Shoe foam) offers greater cushioning and 3-5x more rebound for improved performance over rough surfaces - Debossed racing stripe pattern plus embossed color silicone printing for improved grip and cushioning - Laser Engraved Aluminum expanding bar-end plug - TPU finishing tape with full 3M adhesive - Butterfly shaped brake clamp cover

The most advanced foam ever used in bar tape along with an extremely long wearing and tacky top layer, this is the ultimate in comfort. - 2.5mm of cushion similar dampening to 3.5mm in other tapes. - Laser engraved aluminum end plug. - Fully adhesive finishing tape. - Butterfly clamp cover that doesn't add bulk. - SILCA Crash Replacement Program

Seat Capsule Premio is our BOA-powered saddlebag option for those that prefer more structure and internal volume than what a seat roll has to offer. A high-strength thermoformed shell creates a modular structure with two internal dividers that help keep everything organized. The capsule is secured to the bike using the BOA Closure System, and features a Rail Guard for superior grip and protection of the saddle rails. The zipper is a YKK locking model that bisects the lower third of the bag. Our designer chose this low position to make it easier to access the bag while it's still attached to the saddle; a key difference between a seat bag and a seat roll. - High strength Thermoformed shell - Boa Closure System with Guide - Rail Guard protects and grips saddle rails - YKK Locking Zipper - NO Velcro to damage your seat post or inner short legs - 625cc Internal Volume

Seat Roll Asymmetrico takes everything we've learned in 5 years of producing the award-winning Seat Roll Premio and kicks it up a notch with lighter materials, reduced bulk, improved abrasion resistance, an extra pocket, and a unique asymmetric design which allows you to pack more into a smaller volume, oh, and room for up to 700x45 (29x1.75") tubes! - 2-Ply Ballistic Nylon Construction with Hypalon outer jacket - Boa L6 Closure System with Lace Guide - Padded Rail Guard protects saddle rails and speeds Installation - FOUR internal pockets: Holds tubes up to 700x45mm - Black reflective printing provide stealthy HI-VIS in low-light conditions - Weight: 85 grams
