The Speedmaster Wax Story
For over a decade, I’ve had one obsession: eliminating the grit and friction of traditional chain lube.
When my cycling journey started ten years ago, oil-based lubes drove me crazy by turning into a black sludge that ruined crisp shifting. That frustration led me to hot-melt wax. Out on local group rides, fellow cyclists immediately noticed my spotless chain, and I soon started mixing batches for a dozen riders who loved the performance.
But I knew most cyclists didn't want the hassle of pulling their chain off the bike for a hot bath every single time. They needed that exact same elite performance in a fast, drip-on application—whether as a complete replacement for hot waxing, or simply a quick top-up in a pinch between baths.
That realization led to the new Speedmaster Liquid Wax.
Today, the new Speedmaster Liquid Wax is a 100% water-based, eco-friendly, and TSA-approved travel formula. We eliminated harsh solvents so you can legally pack it in your bike box for destination Ironman events and Gran Fondos.
Why insist on pure paraffin? Because it’s the absolute gold standard for efficiency. Suspending it in an easy-to-apply liquid is notoriously difficult, which is why big brands take the cheaper route with soft wax blends. We refused to compromise. Using advanced high-shear homogenization, we successfully stabilized pure paraffin—driven by a passion for performance, not profit margins, because I wanted the absolute best for my own bikes.
Supercharged with ultra-fine PTFE and our special proprietary friction-modifier formula, Speedmaster Wax is the result of that decade-long obsession. Because a truly elite lubricant can't just be built on lab data and paper—it demands punishing, real-world miles. I have personally ridden, tested, and continuously improved this formulation out on the road, which is exactly what drove our Speedmaster Liquid Wax breakthrough. My local riding group swears by it, and I am confident you will love it too.
Welcome to zero mess, effortless pedaling, and absolute efficiency.
