SIMPLYFAST has launched its latest lubricant referred to as 123BIKE, which the corporate claims to be the cleanest, best method to lubricate a motorbike chain. 123Bike comes prepared to use utilizing their new SoftBlock – or Lube Dice – which is positioned immediately onto the chain because the chain is backpedaled, permitting the lubricant to coat all of the hyperlinks. Whereas this may increasingly sound just like utilizing drip wax, 123Bike bike eliminates waste from spillage and packaging. The Lube Dice is a chainlube for biking’s minimalists, and jogs my memory of a bar of bathtub cleaning soap you may discover in an inexpensive lodge, besides as a substitute of drying out your pores and skin, it retains your bike’s chain slippery and freed from contaminants.
The 50g SoftBlock suits simply in a jersey pocket or pack. 123BIKES’s high-density lubricants declare to face as much as high-torque/high-power extra successfully than normal bike lubricant sprays or liquids. So, whether or not you might be commuting year-round and need to preserve your drivetrain comfortable or want a brilliant compact and spill-proof chainlube on your subsequent ultralight bikepacking journey, 123BIKE might be an important choose. Because it’s not bottled, airport safety received’t take problem with it being in baggage. A single 50g block can ship 1000’s of miles of lubrication for a median rider, and blocks begin at $9.99 (although delivery will add $6).
Eco-conscious riders will respect that 123BIKE is claimed to be essentially the most eco-friendly lube available on the market, utilizing solely FDA-approved elements. There are not any chemical substances, petroleum, or artificial paraffins, PTFE (Teflon)/ PFAS, normal or nano particulate pollution in 123BIKE.
Admittedly, there isn’t a wealth of details about 123BIKE, and albeit, I’m extra OK with that in an age when plenty of individuals need to take hours treating their chains in a gradual cooker after utilizing a number of poisonous solvents to prep them. We now have requested for clarification on a couple of issues, together with the melting level, whether or not it ought to be utilized to a series with manufacturing unit coating, or not, and the place it stacks up in chain put on and effectivity in opposition to the present crop of drip wax choices. As somebody who likes to spend as little time sustaining my bikes as doable, but in addition calls for tip-top efficiency, I respect SIMPLYFAST’s method right here. 123BIKE might be accessible in some native bike retailers or on-line at event-gear.com.
