Ride Mechanic Bike Milk Dry Lubricant

Description

Bike Milk is a dry film chain lube with an advanced triple action formula that cleans, lubes, and protects your drivetrain, providing clean and quiet operation in both wet and dry conditions.

Features:

• Excellent penetrating-cleaning-degreasing properties to remove grime buildup and assist lube flow throughout moving chain parts.
• The dry film coating keeps the chain exceptionally clean without attracting dust onto the drivetrain surfaces.
• No wet residue buildup which can rub off to leave dark stains.
• Leaves a protective film on the crucially important internal contact surfaces of the chain between rollers, bushings, pins and plates.
• Employs a reservoir effect to deliver lube into moving parts as you ride.
• The perfect drivetrain lubricant for shorter (up to 3h) and dry dusty rides or in beach/sand conditions.
• Proudly developed and manufactured in Australia.

Directions For Use:

Stage 1: cleaning chain

1. Degrease chain thoroughly before initial application.
2. Adjust chain onto the smallest rear sprocket.
3. Shake the bottle vigorously to re-suspend and disperse the active components.
4. Rotate the chain backwards and direct a soaking stream of Bike Milk onto the chain. The chain should be visibly coated and look wet.
5. Continue rotating to allow the product to penetrate, clean and flush contaminants from deep inside the chain.
6. After 20 seconds, thoroughly wipe the residue off the chain using a dry cloth. This is important because the Bike Milk will dissolve and flush the grease and dirt from the chain and carry it to the outer surfaces. If this isn't removed it will work its way back inside the chain.

In some cases, this cleaning process may need to be repeated several times.

A full degrease is best on a routine basis or the first time Bike Milk is used on the chain. Failure to effectively degrease, clean and dry the chain prior to applying Bike Milk will compromise the bonding of the dry film lubricant onto the metal surface.

Stage 2: Lubricate and protect

1. Rotate the chain backwards and direct a soaking stream of Bike Milk onto the chain. The chain should be visibly coated and look wet.
2. Continue rotating to allow the product to penetrate, flush and coat moving surfaces of the chain.
3. Allow the Bike Milk to dry on all of the metal surfaces of the chain to form a protective lubricating film. Leaving overnight is recommended. In very cold (freezing) conditions Bike Milk does not evaporate as fast and needs a longer time to bond to the chain.
4. Repeat this apply/dry lube process several times if the chain has been fully degreased or a thicker film is required for endurance rides.

For dry riding conditions, it is best to wipe residue from the surface of the chain with a clean rag prior to riding. The chain will look clean on the outside and is less attractive to dust. The lube remains active on the internal surfaces where it's needed.

For normal conditions, the lube should be left to dry to create a protective water-repellant coating on the inner surfaces of the chain.
