50g of very high quality PTFE power - ideal for adding to the wax of your choice for hot waxing cycle chains
Chain waxing shows considerable advantages over wet or dry lubes on bicycle chains. Adding PTFE improves the advantages further delivering power savings of 20 watts while reducing chain wear and the need for maintenance - especially when used in wet, dusty or muddy conditions. These foil packs offer excellent value. 50g is enough to wax a lot of chains.
Waxed chains with PTFE are super clean and can be washed easily without the need for reapplication. They are also quite enjoyably loud! The wax holds the PTFE in place and excludes contaminants from getting into the rollers and pins. It als prevents corrosion even in the harshest of conditions.
There are a lot of recipes for hot waxing cycle chains, but 50g makes a very high performance 10:1 mix with 500g of wax (Can be paraffin wax, hard vegetable waxes, or a blend) or a more standard 20:1 with 1kg of wax. Powdered additives such as Molybdenum Disulphide (Micronised MoS2) and or Tungsten Disulphide (Micronised WS2) may also be added.
