Four Easy Steps

A Monthly Subscription For Complete Chain Maintenance


DecaWatts exists so cyclists never have to think about chain maintenance again. You ride your bike the way you want to; hard, often, and without worrying about grease, noise, or premature wear; while we quietly take care of the part that matters most.

It starts with a DecaWatts Bundle that includes two to four professionally pre-waxed chains, ready to ride. As you put in your miles, we work in the background. When a chain is due for service, you simply send it back using the prepaid return packaging. From there, we take over; fully decontaminating the chain, stripping away old wax and contaminants, and professionally re-waxing it before returning it clean, quiet, and ready to install.

By rotating chains and repeating the process each month, your drivetrain stays consistently smooth, efficient, and low-friction, without the mess or guesswork of doing it yourself. You keep riding. We keep your chain perfect. That’s DecaWatts.

What Riders are Saying

1 of 6

Built From Experience

DecaWatts was born out of frustration.
We knew chain waxing was the fastest, cleanest, and most efficient way to run a drivetrain, but doing it at home was time-consuming, messy, and inconsistent.
Even when everything was done right, results varied from chain to chain, leaving cyclists to figure it out on their own.

As competitive cyclists and triathletes, we wanted perfect, repeatable results without having to do the work ourselves.
That’s why we built DecaWatts as a subscription service that handles everything for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the DecaWatts subscription really worth the cost?

Yes, most riders save money over time.

While the upfront cost may seem higher than traditional chain lube or occasional shop visits, the DecaWatts system dramatically reduces drivetrain wear. By keeping your chain fully decontaminated and properly waxed every month, chains last significantly longer and, more importantly, so do cassettes and chainrings, which are far more expensive to replace.

Many customers find that avoiding even one cassette or chainring replacement more than offsets the cost of the subscription. Add in fewer shop visits, no cleaning supplies, no tools, and no time spent on maintenance, and the savings become clear.

In short: you’re not just paying for chain care; you’re paying to replace parts less often, ride a better-performing bike, and avoid unnecessary maintenance costs.

If I already wax my chain at home, will I still see a performance benefit from your subscription?

Yes, unequivocally.

Even if you already wax your chain at home, our subscription will still make a meaningful difference. Each chain we service goes through over two hours of full decontamination and professional re-waxing, allowing us to achieve a level of precision, cleanliness, and consistency that simply isn’t possible at home or at a typical bike shop. Every trace of old wax, grease, and contamination is removed before fresh wax is applied, ensuring the chain is truly reset each time.

Beyond performance, the convenience is unmatched. You don’t need to strip, clean, heat wax, or manage timing; we handle everything for you. This controlled process not only delivers consistently low friction and quiet operation, but also allows chains to last significantly longer, because they are fully decontaminated before every single re-waxing cycle.

In short: better results, longer chain life, and zero effort on your part.

Can I use my current chain, or do I need to purchase new chains?

To deliver the best possible results, all DecaWatts customers begin with a Starter Bundle that includes brand-new, professionally waxed chains. Starting from new allows us to control the process from day one; ensuring complete decontamination, consistent waxing, and optimal performance throughout the life of the chain.

When rotated through the subscription, these chains are designed to last a combined total of up to 50,000 km, meaning they are very likely the last chains your bike will need for a long time. This approach ensures you experience the full benefits of the DecaWatts system: a cleaner, quieter drivetrain, longer component life, and consistently low friction.

We require the Starter Bundle so every customer gets the best possible experience from the subscription and the waxing process; without compromises.

Can I Pause My Subscription?

Yes, you can cancel or pause your subscription anytime

How long will it take to get my chain back after I send it in?

In most cases, your chain is back with you within three weeks, well before it’s time to swap again.
