Chain-L Chain Lube

It’s About Lubrication

Chain-L satisfies what we think are the three most important requirements of a chain lubricant:

• Lubrication
• Lubrication
• and Lubrication

While properties like external cleanliness may seem important, the fact is that internal wear of
the 112 overloaded, overworked and overlooked bearings is what destroys chains. A road
cyclist, riding first-tier equipment, will typically wear a chain out in as little as 50 hours (1,000 miles @ 20 mph) of use --
often destroying the cassette or chainrings in the process. On a high-end bike, drivetrain wear
is the most expensive maintenance cost per mile.

That’s why, when developing Chain-L, we approached is as a bearing-wear problem and
formulated it consistent with our theory of how chains wear and how best to combat it. We then
road tested with racers, messengers, shop staff and others; refining it over the span of almost a
year before we began selling to the public in the fall of 2007.
