SILCA waxing system

I have been waxing chains for more than 4 years. So far I have used a slow cooker. Its advantage is its lower purchase price, it can be larger, so I can dip two chains in one X. Disadvantage: you have to monitor the temperature so that the wax doesn't "test" (degrade it), which has happened to me several times, and of course, "dripping" the wax back into the container is not as easy as with the Silca.
If I had a slow cooker with precise temperature control, I would stick with it.
But if you don't have any "device" for waxing, I would recommend Silca, despite the slightly higher price. It's really more comfortable to work with and, most importantly, it won't ruin your wax. And last but not least, it looks good, which adds at least 4 watts to the chain's efficiency?

Voskujem reťaze viac ako 4 roky. Doteraz som používal slow cooker. Jeho výhoda je v nižšej obstarávacej cene, môže byť väčší čiže na jeden X tam dokážem ponoriť aj dve reťaze. Nevýhoda: musíš strážiť teplotu aby sa ti "nepreveril" vosk (znehodnotí ho) čo sa mi už stalo viac krát a samozrejme nie je tak jednoducho vyriešené "odkvapkavanie" vosku späť do nádoby ako pri Silca.
Ak by som mal slow cooker s presnou reguláciou teploty tak by som pri ňom ostal.
Ale v prípade, že nemáš žiadne "zariadenie" na voskovanie tak by som odporúčal Silca aj napriek mierne vyššej cene. Práca s ním je naozaj pohodlnejšia a hlavne neznehodnoti ti vosk. A v neposlednom rade dobre vyzerá čo pridá na efektivite reťaze aspoň 4 watty😀

I had no previous experience with waxing. I only tried dripwax and that convinced me. It lasts forever and even longer when dry, not when wet, but in both cases it is only a gain compared to oil - easier cleaning and less dirt on the bike. The beginning is a bit of alchemy, but after two or three repetitions it is actually quite a pleasant ritual. Silca has really nice videos where the guy explains everything (but completely). Yes, the price is high, but in this case I got maximum quality and the chains are always prepared according to my wishes.

Nemal som predchádzajúce skúsenosti s voskovaním. Vyskúšal som iba dripwax a to ma presvedčilo. Za sucha vydrží donekonečna a ešte ďalej, za mokra nie ale v oboch prípadoch je to v porovnaní s olejom iba zisk - ľahšie čistenie a menej špiny na bajku. Začiatok je trochu alchýmia ale už po dvoch troch opakovaniach je to vlastne celkom príjemný rituál. Silca má moc fajn videá kde chlapík vysvetlí všetko (ale že úplne). Áno, cena je vysoká, ale v tomto prípade som dostal maximálnu kvalitu a reťaze sú vždy nachystané podľa mojich predstáv.

Until now, I always took the chain to the service center for waxing, but I thought I would try it at home. Therefore, I have no experience with a rice cooker, but I can say that anyone can do it with this one. The first melting took about 30 minutes, but otherwise it was great. Maybe someone will appreciate this tip - for small work with the wax, I used disposable chopsticks from an Asian bistro. It's a shame that only one chain can be hung at a time. The Dynamic melter had the option of three at a time in the photos. But it was unavailable.

Doteraz som vždy nosil reťaz na voskovanie do servisu ale povedal som si, že to skúsim doma. Nemám preto skúsenosti s ryžovarom, no môžem povedať, že s týmto to dokáže naozaj každý. Prvé roztopenie trvalo cca 30min ale inak paráda. Možno niekto ocení tento tip - na drobnú prácu s voskom som využil jednorázové paličky z donášky z ázijského bistra. Škoda len, že sa dá zavesiť naraz len jedna reťaz. Tavička z Dynamic mala na fotkách možnosť tri naraz. Tá bola ale nedostupná.

I hesitated for a long time whether to buy this expensive original, but I don't regret it. Working with it is simple and easy, nothing spilled anywhere, no mess. Although for that price they could have included at least 2 cables so I don't have to wait with changing the chain while one cools down. Otherwise I have nothing to criticize. It heats up quickly, and holds a stable temperature nicely. And it doesn't give the impression of being cheap, I don't have to worry that when I plug it in it will burn out completely.

Dlho som váhal, či kúpiť tento drahý originál ale nelutujem. Práca s ním je jednoduchá a ľahká, nikde nič vyliate žiadny bordel. Aj keď by mohly za tú cenu k tomu pribaliť aspon 2 lanká nech sa nemusím zdržovať s prehadzovaním reťaze kým jedna chladne. Inak tomu nemám čo vytknúť. Rýchlo zohriate, a pekne drží stabilnú teplotu. A nepôsobí to lacným dojmom, nemusím sa báť že keď to zapojím to zhorí celé.

Really convenient. I set the exact temperature and don't worry. I look at the instructions for the wax and find out at what temperature its properties are destroyed and this thing slowly melts it and without the work and mess around with the wax, I wax my chain.

Fakt pohodlne. Nastavim si presnu teplotu a nestaram sa. Pozriem si navod k vosku a zistim pri akej teplote sa nicia jeho vlastnosti a tato vecicka ho pomalicky roztopi a bez prace a bordelu okolo vosku si navoskujem retaz.

Max. satisfaction. Temperature regulation in 5 degrees. A little higher price, but no need to invent some hanging device for dripping wax. Easy handling

Max. spokojnosť. Regulovanie teploty po 5 st.. Trochu vyššia cena, ale nie je potrebné vymýšľať nejaké závesné zariadenie pre odkvapkanie vosku. Jednoduchá manipulácia

It works excellently, it really is better to wax than to grease. The chain and the entire drivetrain must be degreased and it shifts smoothly.

Funguje excelentne, naozaj je lepšie voskovať ako mastiť. Reťaz a celý pohon musí byť odmastený a radí hladko.

simple and functional. The chain is cleaner and the waxing lasts longer. I combine it with liquid wax.

jednoduche a funkcne . retaz je cistejsia a navoskovanie vydrzi dlhsie . kombinujem s tekutym voskom

The device is a little more expensive than alternatives, but the waxing is quick and the drip-free waxing is a great thing.

Prístroj trocha drahší ako alternatívy, ale voskovanie prebieha rýchlo a to odkvapkavotko super vec.

The price is overpriced for that casserole but it works well

cena prestrelená za ten kastról ale funguje to dobre

I'm testing. So far everything is working, I'll see in time.

Testujem. Zatiaľ všetko funguje budem vidieť po čase.

It is easy to use, I am completely satisfied with it.

Jól használható, teljesen elégedett vagyok vele.

It works. It doesn't end in dryness when the breasts don't

Funguje . V suchu nekonecne, ked prsi nie

The cleanliness of the chain is perfect.

Ta čistota řetězu je perfektní.

Excellent results

Výborné výsledky
