Effetto Mariposa Flowerpower Wax Chain Lube (100ml)Efficient, performance-enhancing and not harmful to the environment, the Flowerpower Wax Chain Lube from Effetto Mariposa is a superb chain lube that is ideal for all-conditions riding. Formulated to ensure exceptional lubrication while protecting your chain links and drivetrain from accumulated dirt, grit and grease, this wax-based chain lube is sure to keep your drivetrain running smooth and silent regardless of whether you're travelling on the road or along muddy mountain bike trails.The Advantages of Wax Chain LubricationWe are all familiar with the classic lubricating oils, traditionally used in cycling. However, these products are subject to rapid contamination during use, collecting dust and dirt (hence the classic trace of black they leave) and over time becoming real abrasive pastes that reduce the life of the chain and - progressively - its efficiency (we are talking about several Watts of precious leg power wasted).The use of lubricating waxes has become more and more widespread: the chain treated with these products does not dirty, runs silently for a long time and absorbs less power, all this while increasing the number of miles/kilometres travelled before a chain has to be replaced. Water-based wax emulsions, such as Flowerpower Wax, bring great benefits, following some simple usage tips.How Flowerpower Wax WorksFlowerpower Wax creates a solid layer of wax that is interposed between the moving elements of the chain, reducing friction. It is a water emulsion of natural waxy compounds, with the right viscosity to penetrate inside the chain links, where lubrication is most important. Once the water has evaporated, a thick layer of wax remains firmly anchored to the metal, creating a real anti-friction pad.The chain will not be dry to the touch - given the layer of wax that also protects the outside - but it will not be greasy or sticky and will not retain dirt.First ApplicationWax emulsions require a deep cleaning of the chain before they can be applied the first time. It is essential to remove any oily traces so that the emulsion comes in contact with the metal and can deposit a well-adhering layer of wax.The thing is very simple using Effetto Mariposa's Allpine Extra - an excellent degreaser designed for this purpose - and the Mangiacatena chain cleaner, equipped with rotating brushes. Thanks to these products it is not necessary to disassemble the chain to clean it thoroughly. Rinse the chain with water and dry it perfectly to complete cleaning.Once this is done, after shaking the Flowerpower Wax bottle vigorously, apply a drop of product on each link of the chain. When each link has received its drop of wax, slowly turn the pedals (at least 10 complete revolutions) in order to allow the emulsion to penetrate inside. Leave to dry for at least 2-3 hours.For the first application, repeat the lubrication process described above a second time (one drop of Flowerpower Wax per link, etc.). After waiting again for 2-3 hours to allow the water to evaporate, possibly clean the excess product on the outside of the chain with a cloth and you are ready to pedal.Successive ApplicationsAs the miles/kilometres accumulate, when the chain starts to become noisy, simply clean it with a dry cloth and reapply a drop of Flowerpower Wax on each link. Since the wax retains no or very little dirt, it is possible to continue to lubricate in this way without the need to degrease the chain, which is instead recommended in case of rides in muddy conditions or in the presence of sand. In that case it is better restoring the initial conditions with Allpine Extra, rinse, dry and then proceed with a deep lubrication with Flowerpower Wax.In normal use, Effetto Mariposa recommend lubricating the chain if needed after the usual cleaning of the bicycle, in order to find it ready for the next ride.High Percentage of WaxThere can be major differences between water-based wax emulsions. While many competing products are around 30%, Flowerpower Wax exceeds 50%* of wax-to-water ratio. The result is the formation of a thicker anti-abrasion layer for the same quantity of emulsion applied, with great benefits in terms of durability and efficiency.* Percentage by weight (dry residue after evaporation of water)The Strength of Sunflower SeedsThe wax obtained from sunflower seeds has interesting characteristics for cycling use. It adheres strongly to metal and is water-resistant, prolonging the effectiveness of lubrication even in the event of rain or involuntary washing (creek crossing etc.). It also has excellent mechanical properties, necessary to withstand the continuous stresses of pedalling.Thanks to its formulation, Flowerpower Wax is ideal in any season, both on and off-road.Without Hazardous AdditivesEffetto Mariposa have decided to avoid adding further additives (such as PTFE and fluorinated compounds in general, graphene, sulphides, etc.) to keep Flowerpower Wax totally harmless to the health and environment, also because the current formula - among other things, vegan - has satisfied the most demanding testers and racers in the long development phase. Together with sunflower seed wax, other waxes of natural origin complete the lubricating mix. The emulsion is water-based without the addition of alcohol.Format, Tips for Use and Storage:Flowerpower Wax is available in 100 ml bottles. Shake well before use to allow the ingredients to mix evenly.A single application of Flowerpower Wax allows you to travel about 300 km on an asphalted road, in the absence of heavy rain. Off-road use may require more frequent chain lubrication.Keeping the chain well lubricated allows you to optimize the life of the drivetrain and its efficiency in terms of power absorption. Considering that a complete lubrication of the chain requires about 4 ml of product, a 100 ml bottle allows 25 lubrications, for an approximate total of 7,500 km travelled.Store and apply the product at a temperature between 5 and 35 ° C (41 - 95 ° F). Once applied to the chain, the temperature limits of use are those at which you decide to ride.Features: Creates a solid layer of wax between the moving parts of the chain, reducing friction, noise and increasing the life of the chain Unlike lubricating oils, it does not dirty clothes and resists contamination by dirt and dust very well Thanks to the sunflower seed wax, it is very resistant to water and is ideal in any season, on and off-road High wax to water ratio (over 50%) Rapidly biodegradable: it does not contain PTFE, sulphides, graphene or other chemicals harmful to the environmentBuy Effetto Mariposa Accessories from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
