Cleaning

Of course, the most important thing is lubrication! When lubricating, you have to take care that there are no foreign particles on the chain, abrasive residues, old ans resinified oil or even environmental contaminants (dust, gravel, fine sand). Therefore, a good and reliable cleaning of the chain is crucial before lubricating!

Unfortunately, it is not enough to wipe the chain with a cloth before lubricating it, because the friction mainly occurs inside the chain and this is where the dirt is deposited. Not only the chain has to be clean, but also all parts connected with the chain (e. g. sprocket cassettes, pulleys)! This is exactly where the dirt, which was not removed, builds up. Some use special cleaners, a chain cleaning device or even remove the chain / sprockets and put them for example in Diesel. Of course, all of these types of cleaning have their advantages and disadvantages. Our philosophy: cleaning and lubricating in one single step!

106 KETTENFLUID PLUS consists of a solvent combination (active cleansing an in-depth penetration) and our additive, which is homogeneously mixed with the solvent. In its original condition, the additive would be too viscous to penetrate the critical areas of the chain bearings and supply them with lubricant. In addition to its function as a carrier substance, it also serves as a solvent combination for cleaning. It rinses old, resinified substances, dust and dirt and out of the chain. The solvent evaporates leaving behind a thin lubricating film on and in the chain (this is where it belongs).

The extra benefit is the additional lubrication.

Benefits of the innobike brush:

Supports the cleaning of chain and sprocket
Better targeted spraying
Less consumption
No spray mist

Due to the solvent in 106 KETTENFLUID PLUS, the brush does not stick or clog and thus always remains clean.

Advantages of the product:

No extra cleaner needed
ENORMOUS TIME SAVING by cleaning and lubricating in one step
With every relubrication, the chain cleans itself automatically
Easy cleaning of chain / sprocket/ gear
Absorbs significantly less dust and dirt
(Long-term) cost savings due to less wear and tear
No resinification
Solvent does not harm rubber and lacquer

Conclusion:

It is difficult to compare 106 KETTENFLUID PLUS with other chain oils, because most users focus on lubrication only. The chain, however, is rarely really clean. In addition, when biking outdoors (whether on or off road), dust and dirt will always stick to the chain. In combination with oil, this will become a "chain killer". We have a different method of lubricating and follow the principle: CLEAN AND LUBRICATE in one step! This increases the consumption rate, but always provides reliable cleaning. This should be taken into account when comparing cost and performance.
