Silca's Josh Poertner gets ideas for new products from the craziest places.
Let's take the new strip tip as an example. These hot melt chain wax additives were inspired by the food industry, which is trying to find alternatives to trans fats and hydrogenated oils. I actually found that waxing the chain was much easier as I no longer needed to degrease the chain before waxing.
In this episode, he details how the product works, the nuances of wax temperature to properly wax your chain, where his idea came from, and what else he's excited about. He talks a lot about what he does and why his products are more expensive than others.
I always love talking to Josh, and I think you'll really enjoy this one too.
