Available now: Silca Synergetic Drip Lube — £32.00 at Tredz, correct at time of writing, 15 October 2026.
What the retailer lists
- Type: an oil-based wet lube, with no drying time once applied to a clean, dry chain.
- Silca’s efficiency claim: Silca says its own testing found the lube loses 4.9 W at 250 W input, or 98.1% efficiency. This is a manufacturer figure, not an independent test.
- Wear: Silca says the oil combines ZDDP and WS2 particles and reduces wear by 95% against other oils.
- Interval: Tredz says you only need to re-lube after 500+ miles, and that a bottle lasts 12,000+ miles.
- Application: apply to a clean, dry chain for best results.
Where it fits for triathletes
The points below are our reading of the listed features, not test results.
- Less fuss than wax. Silca positions it for riders who want low friction without stripping, drying and waxing the chain.
- Race-week prep. The claims above are Silca’s own, so treat them as a reason to compare, not as proof.
- Price. At £32.00 it is priced as a premium lube, so compare it with the options in our chain lube guide.
