Take Care of Your Bike, and It Will Take Care of You

Just like regular checkups keep your health in check...
Just like dental cleanings preserve your smile...
Just like routine service keeps your car running smoothly...

Your bicycle performs better, lasts longer, and stays more reliable with regular maintenance.

At 7th Day Cycles, we believe in maintaining bikes, not just fixing them. While we’re equipped to handle repairs of all kinds, our passion and specialty lie in preventative maintenance—particularly in keeping your drivetrain running like new.

Why Drivetrain Maintenance Matters

The drivetrain is the heart of your bike’s performance and one of the most costly systems to replace. That’s why we go beyond basic lubing — we clean and wax-dip chains to dramatically extend their life and improve performance.

This method reduces friction, repels contaminants, and keeps your drivetrain much cleaner than conventional lubes. Riders who switch to wax-dipped chains often report:

• • 200–300 miles between applications
    
    
  • Significantly longer chain life — up to 10x
    
    
  • A smoother, quieter ride
    
    
  • Power savings of 3–5 watts on average, supported by independent studies

As Jason Smith (formerly of Friction Facts, now with CeramicSpeed) notes:

“The driving factor of friction and wear when a chain is subjected to contamination is based on how much contamination adheres to the lubricant, or conversely, the ability of the lubricant/coating to repel contamination.”

We’ve seen the difference firsthand—and we want you to experience it too.

Let Us Handle the Dirty Work

Chain waxing (or “Dipping”) is highly effective—but it can be messy and time-consuming. That’s where we come in.

At 7th Day Cycles, we’ve been dipping chains for years and have developed an efficient, proven process. Whether you bring in your current chain or purchase a pre-dipped one from us, we’ll:

• • Deep clean your chain, cassette, and chainrings
    
    
  • Apply a high-performance wax dip
    
    
  • Return your drivetrain to you looking (and riding) like new

We also offer Dipping Subscriptions to help you stay consistent with maintenance, so your bike keeps performing at its best season after season.

Protect Your Investment

A well-maintained drivetrain saves you money, improves your ride, and helps avoid mid-season breakdowns. Regular maintenance is the key—and we’re here to help make it easy.
