The Silca Synergetic Wet Lube is for riders who want to experience the lower friction, increased lifespan, and silence the latest lubricant technology delivers, but without the hassle of deep cleaning, drying and waxing chains. The Synergetic Wet Lube is oil-based and uses technology developed for Formula 1 to reduce friction and eliminate wear on metal components almost completely.The Silca Synergetic oil that the lube uses has been internally tested by Silca to prove the fastest and quietest, meaning the lube only loses 4.9watts with 250 input (98.1% efficiency).The lube really shines when focussing on durability and longevity. The oil combines ZDDP and WS2 particles, which reduce wear by 95% when compared to other oils. The oil also creates a durable film at the metal’s surface and is strongly attracted to itself, so it remains exceptionally waterproof and protective, even when fully submerged in water.The Synergetic lube is also virtually maintenance-free itself. Once applied to a dry and clean chain, there is no drying time, you will only need to re-lube after 500+ miles, and there are 12,000+ miles per bottle.Key FeaturesOil-based wet lube,12,000+ miles of lubricant per bottle,Ultra-high wearing, ultra-quiet, ultra-waterproof,For best results apply to dry and clean chain.
Ultra-premium levers optimized for carbon rimsModern carbon rims and tires create a real challenge for traditional tire levers, and the new wave of tubeless setups have take the challenge to the next level. Tire fits are tighter than they've ever been, while carbon rims require non-metal levers to resist damage to the bead or brake surface during use.Previous solutions to this problem have involved using a metal core inside of a plastic lever, however this solution has its own challenges as the core of the lever is where you can add the least stiffness and strength. This leaves metal core levers both less stiff and heavier than they need to be.Tire levers premio, pair a high strength forged aluminium lever with a semi-rigid nylon pad on the rim side of the lever only. This allows the overall lever to be thinner, yet stiffer and stronger than either full plastic or metal core designs. Even better, tire levers premio utilize a designed in flex-core zone which allows the nylon pad to conform to the curvature of the rim during use for maximum distribution of load.Due to the high strength full-metal blade, tire levers premio are 25-30% narrower than other lever designs, making them ideal for very tight tires and tubeless setups where access to the tire bead is very tight.Key Features:Forged alloy blade,Reinforced nylon rim shield safe for use on carbon rims,Integrated spoke-hook wing,105mm x 25mm x 7mm (perfect for seat roll premio or eolo wallet),Net weight (two levers and neoprene sleeve) = 36 grams.

This hot wax lube ensures you maximise your potential by reducing drivetrain friction significantly and ensures your bike is smooth and silent as you crank the power. Fast, Smooth and Silent Drivetrain PerformanceThis Secret Chain Blend brings all of the super speed and silence of Silca's Super Secret Chain Lube in a hot-melt wax-dipped chain. Secret Chain Blend also utilizes the world's fastest, most lubricious additive, nano-scale Tungsten Di-Sulfide. NanoPlatelet WS2 has less than 1/3 the dynamic coefficient of friction of PTFE and 1/4 that of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2). The best part of this product is the submergible pouch. Don't want to dedicate a crockpot to hot waxing your chain? Simply put the chain in the bag and immerse in hot water. Silca Secret High Performance Hot Wax BlendWhen Silca launched secret chain lube, they admitted that the starting point for this product was a hot wax recipe that they had used for years with pro teams that had won numerous world and Olympic medals. The idea behind Secret Chain Lube was to bring this technology to a lube that didn't require hot melting but turns out, many of Silca's customers were already big fans of hot waxing chains, and the requests flooded in for them to release the SILCA Secret Wax Blend.. so here it is. Highly Lubricating and Wear Resistant FormulaConsisting of highly refined laboratory-grade paraffin and a high concentration of 3 specific sizes of nano-scale Tungsten disulfide, Secret Chain Blend not only acts as a lubricant but actually acts to modify the surface of the chain, filling in all of the crevices of the metal with highly lubricious and wear-resistant tungsten disulfide particles. As a result, chains waxed with Secret Chain Blend and Secret Chain Lube will actually get faster over time and after repeated waxings. Secret Chain Blend is the only hot wax lubricant to have a specifically matched and compatible drip wax which can be used to 'top off' the wax as needed, extending the duration between hot wax applications, and guaranteeing the quietest running drivetrain possible. Using the combination of Secret Chain Blend and Secret Chain Lube can dramatically extend the chain and drivetrain component life (up to 10x).

Silca thought long and hard about the design of the Italian Army Knife and have managed to reduce the thickness of the tool. The mid-length tools allow for the multi-tool to reduce its thickness by half. The mid-length tools allow the user to access recessed fasteners but are short enough not to suffer twist or over-torque damage commonly experienced by longer multi-tools. Each tool is forged rather than bent from hex stock, although a more expensive method, making the tool stronger. To finish the construction SIlca have double chromed the tools, fully stainless steel hardware and bushings help guarantee a long life free from corrosion. If you want pure quality and longevity the Silca Italian Army Knife will save you from many road or trail side blunders.
