External influences, such as dirt and a dusty environment, cause dust particles to stick and abhere. The resulting abrasive effect causes a high level of wear and tear. Wet or damp conditions also lead to a corrosion of the inner bearings and drive bushings of the chain, which are thus exponsed to increased friction. Resin residues from mineral oils and corrosion particles due ti higher temperatures caused by increased friction have an extremely negative effect on lubrication. A conventional lubrication with oil and grease does not meet the above requirements. Their use leads to an increased energy expenditure of the biker, a very high wear and tear and a low service life of the chain and sprockets and thus functional reliability cannot be guaranteed in the long run. The combination of the right product, which meets all requirements, an the right care and correct application is the essential factor for ensuring a long and problem-free service life of the chain.

If foreign particles or resinified oil are not removed this will automatically lead to higher friction and thus more wear. In addition, these particles will result in the chain becoming stiff or moving not so smoothly anymore. This, however, is enormously important for changing gears smoothly.

In order to deal with the difficult and varied conditions of cycling-racing and mountain biking - one of the most imporant an demanding tasks is to optimally maintain and lubricate the chain in order to achieve positive results such as easy gear change and pedalling and a long service life of the chain.First of all, a clean chain is the key prerequisite for ensuring that the lubricant adheres to the chain surface -in order to achieve an optimal wetting of the chain. Secondly, due to the precise fits between the moving parts, an extremely penetrating lubricant is required which reaches all the chain joints, inner bearings, drive bushings and pins in order to lubricate and protect them optimally.
