WHAT IS IT?

LINKLUBE DRY IS A READILY BIODEGRADABLE, WAX-BASED CHAIN LUBE FOR

USE IN DESERT DRY AND DUSTY, TO MILDLY MOIST CONDITIONS. OUR UNIQUE

FORMULA USES A BLEND OF WAXES SUSPENDED IN A WATER-BASED EMULSION

TO GIVE YOU A LONG-LASTING, CLEAN-RUNNING, QUIET CHAIN.

WHY DID WE MAKE IT?

LINKLUBE ALL WEATHER IS OUR ONE-STOP CHAIN LUBE FOR MOST WEATHER

CONDITIONS. WHILE THE BASE CARRIER FLUID WE USE HAS FAST PENETRATING,

CHAIN CLEANING PROPERTIES, IT WILL NEVER BECOME FULLY DRY TO THE TOUCH.

THIS CAN LEAD TO UNWANTED DUST ATTRACTION IN THE DRIEST, DUSTIEST

CONDITIONS, SO A MORE BESPOKE DRY LUBE WAS REQUIRED.

WHY WATER? WHY WAX?

WAX IS THE BEST LUBRICANT FOR DRY CONDITIONS BECAUSE, WHEN APPLIED

CORRECTLY, IT WILL FILL YOUR LINKS AND ROLLERS WITH A HARD, SLIPPERY

COATING, WHICH WILL LAST FOR AGES ON THE TRAILS AND IS DRY TO THE TOUCH

– SO DRY DIRT AND DUST WILL NOT STICK TO IT.

FORMULATION

YOU HAVE THREE OPTIONS WHEN FORMULATING A WAX-BASED LUBE.

THE TIME-CONSUMING, MESSY OPTION… CREATE A HOT-MELT WAX

LUBRICANT. THESE BLOCKS OF HARD WAX ARE MELTED GRADUALLY IN A SLOW

COOKER AND YOU APPLY TO YOUR CHAIN BY COMPLETELY REMOVING FROM

YOUR BIKE AND SOAKING IT IN THE MOLTEN WAX. ULTIMATE RESULTS BUT WITH

A HIGH COST OF EQUIPMENT, TIME, EFFORT AND MESS.

THE QUICK BUT COMPROMISED OPTION… CREATE A SOLVENT-BASED WAX

LUBRICANT WHERE WAXES ARE SUSPENDED IN FAST-EVAPORATING SOLVENTS.

APPLIED IN DRIP FORM DIRECTLY TO THE CHAIN WHEN ON THE BIKE, THIS IS

QUICK AND MUCH EASIER THAN HOT MELT WAX. THE SOLVENTS EVAPORATE

AWAY QUICKLY, LEAVING A THIN, DRY LAYER OF WAX IN A CONVENIENT

AMOUNT OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF THIS APPROACH, HOWEVER, IS THAT

SOLVENT-BASED WAX LUBES CAN ONLY HOLD AROUND 15-20% WAX

CONTENT WHICH RESULTS IN REDUCED DURABILITY WHERE IT MATTERS.

THE BEST ALL-ROUND OPTION… CREATE A WATER-BASED WAX EMULSION

LIKE LINKLUBE DRY. THIS CAN ALSO BE APPLIED CONVENIENTLY IN DRIP FORM,

DIRECTLY TO A CHAIN STILL ON THE BIKE. BY USING WATER – RATHER THAN

A FAST-EVAPORATING SOLVENT – THE EMULSION CAN HOLD FAR MORE WAX

CONTENT (35-40%), RESULTING IN MUCH HIGHER DURABILITY. WHILE WATER

EVAPORATES SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN WITH SOLVENT-BASED FORMULAS, THE

RESULTS ARE WELL WORTH THE WAIT!
