What’s better than adding PTFE to your chain wax? A blend of low friction PTFE and even lower friction WS2.
The addition of WS2 gives a significant increase in performance and durability over pure PTFE when used as a hot chain waxing additive.
Chain waxing significantly increases efficiency and durability over other lube types. Especially good for high performance in tough conditions waxing protects against dust, mud, water and corrosion while saving watts of power. Wax protection lasts hundreds of miles and weeks of abuse. This means on road or off track, commute or competition, waxing saves in the long term both in wear and energy.
Tungsten (Wolfram) Disulphide WS2 is an exceptionally stable and lubricious compound. Originally developed for space probes it offers the best 'real world' performance of any dry lubricant type. Combined with PTFE this gives enhanced durability and performance.
60g Pack - mix with approx 500G of wax for a very high performance mix. Enough to treat several chains.
Equipment:
Gloves and eye protection.
Good work area without sensitive carpets fabrics etc.
WBR Cycle chain additive powder!
New or very good condition cycle chain
Degreaser
Cleaning Solvent and containers
Wax heating pot / crock pot
Rod type thermometer
Hand whisk
500g of wax (paraffin is easiest/cheapest but be sure to get high quality)
Wire (not insulated!)
Method for use:
Remove and clean chain throughly-
We suggest once in degreaser/detergent and then three good rinses in solvent. The last should be in methylated spirits or Isopropyl Alcohol as these will leave the least residue. The cleaner the chain the better the result. Allow to dry.
