With its pine oil content, Allpine Extra is a powerful yet biodegradable degreaser. It has been developed with pine oil, a natural solvent, to have low ecological impact yet to be highly effective.Powerful degreaser ideal for chainsBiodegradable formulaKind on paint, carbon, chrome500ml bottleCan be used on disc brake rotorsTo deep clean a chain, it is recommended to remove it from the bike and immerse in Allpine Extra for a few minutes. Then scrub the chain with a firm brush (Effetto Cog Brush recommended). Alternatively leave the chain on the bike and use a chain cleaning tool (Effetto Mangiacatena). Rinse the chain with water to flush away the dissolved oil and dirt. Dry the chain before applying fresh lubricant (Effetto Flowerpower Wax recommended). Allpine Extra also cleans disc brake rotors. Remove wheels from bike before cleaning rotors. Apply to a cloth and then wet both disc surfaces. Allow the degreaser to act for a few minutes then rinse with water and dry discs with a clean rag.
With its intense pine scent, Allpine Light is a biodegradable cleaner that will leave your bike clean and shiny. Its natural formula is very effective against dirt. For a light clean, just spray on and wipe away with a dry clean cloth. Not using extra water is efficient and also kind on ebikes with sensitive electronics. A light clean will not remove chain lubricant. For heavier dirt, spray on generously and leave for a few minutes. Allpine Light will break down the dirt naturally. Rinse off with water using a brush or sponge.Biodegradable cleanerKind to the environment1 litre bottle with trigger sprayIdeal for e-bikesNice pine scent
Carbomove from Effetto Mariposa is a release spray, acting at the same time as penetrating oil and as powerful solvent. It s a great ally to free blocked components.Carbomove is very effective to free any blocked component of the bikeIt s the last resort to remove blocked aerodynamic seat-postsEasily cleans Carbogrip tracesDoesn t damage carbon composites or metalsWhen to use it: If the bicycle components have been mounted professionally, using Carbogrip or other specific assembly products, it's quite easy - for example - to modify the saddle height, even after some time. On the other hand, if the components have been assembled dry or not with the right products, repositioning or removing them can be a real challenge. There are ways to resolve the problem, but they all involve the use of brute force. Carbomove is a great help even in desperate cases, penetrating between the surfaces and facilitating their movement.Typical applications:Removal of a seat-postRemoval of threaded bottom bracketsRemoval of aerodynamic extensions from their clampsRemoval of traces of glue from the frame (vinyl stickers)Removal of CarbogripExample - Using Carbomove for a seized seat-post:Create a funnel by wrapping the seat tube with packing tape, leaving it open around the seized seat-postSpray abundantly Carbomove inside the funnel, in order to have the interface between seat-post and seat tube constantly moistenedLet it rest for a few hours. If needed, spray more Carbomove if neededCheck if the seat-post starts to move. If it s still stuck, repeat from #2The length of insertion of the seat-post into the bicycle frame heavily affects the duration (and success) of the operation: if the seat-post is inserted for more than 20 cm, the task becomes very difficult. It is sometimes useful to turn the bicycle upside down, remove the bottom bracket and spray Carbomove inside the frame from there.The worst case scenario is with aerodynamic seat-posts, whose section is not round. This means that their components cannot be twisted. In this case, Carbomove is the best and only option.
Flowerpower is a performance wax-based lubricant using natural ingredients including a high sunflower seed wax content. It is an efficient way to lubricate bicycle chains yet harmless to the environment with its formula avoiding any fluorinated compounds (PFAS), graphene or sulphides.Effective and clean lubricant for chainsHarmless to the environmentStrong adhesion to metal - High sunflower seed wax content adheres to clean metalWater resistant formulaSuitable for road or off-road ridingLong lastingLow friction formulaStore and apply temperature range 5 - 35 ° C (41 - 95 ° F)Made in Italy100mlAfter treatment with Flowerpower lube, the chain will run quietly and more efficiently, giving more power to the rider. It will not attract dirt like oil-based lubes, so the life of the chain is extended. Flowerpower is a wax emulsion based in water, not alcohol. It has a high wax-to-water ratio exceeding 50%. Applied to a clean chain Flowerpower penetrates and coats the chain with a thick layer of wax which anchors to the metal as the water base evaporates. This leaves a long-lasting wax coating that is resistant to pedalling stresses and water from rain or the trail/road.It is recommended that about 4ml of Flowerpower lube is used on a clean chain. This will last approximately 300km in dry riding road conditions or 7,500km per 100ml bottle. Off-road or use in heavy rains are likely to require more frequent applications.
