Description
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.
Key Features
- Wax based formulation lasts longer in dry, dusty conditions as it does not attract dirt.
- Blue indicator dye easily shows when lube is dry and ready to ride readily biodegradable.
- Up to ~300km / 190miles per application (depending on conditions).
- Rounded tip to the applicator cap rolls easily over the chain when applying.
- Unique tall and slim bottle is shaped to fit like a pen in your hand to make application easy.
- Available in 60ml, 120ml and 360ml refill pouches.
Application
When applied for the first time, it is essential that LinkLube Dry is applied to a well-degreased and dry drivetrain. If a chain is dirty, then dirt and old lube take up space in the rollers, preventing new lube from reaching the places it needs to, and any residual oil-based lube can also result in reduced durability and premature blackening.
- Fully degrease before applying fresh lube to ensure there is no old chain oil present. For best results use Peaty's Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser or, in the case of brand new chains, use Peaty's XXX solvent degreaser to remove stubborn waterproof factory greases.
- Ensure you thoroughly rinse your chain with clean water after degreasing (degreaser is designed to eat chain lube after all).
- Allow chain to dry thoroughly before application.
- Apply to the inside face of the chain only. The light blue colour to the chain lube allows you to see exactly where you have and haven't applied.
- Keep the chain cycling for 20 seconds to help the lube penetrate fully into the pins and rollers.
- Check for over-application. You can tell if you over-apply LinkLube dry because you'll see the lube start to fill the narrow chain links. If this happens, just slowly cycle through your gears a few times to transfer the excess lube onto the cassette. You'll see the lube disappear from the narrow links, leaving lube only where it's needed on the chain.
- Leave to fully dry so the lube goes from a light blue colour to completely clear (you're waiting for the water to evaporate, so leaving it in the sun helps). How long it takes for the water to evaporate - and for the lube to turn clear in colour - depends on the weather conditions. This can range from just a few minutes (if hot), to a few hours (if cold and damp). for best results apply the night before.
- Ride!
