Lubricant oil Domestique Chain Lube 30g

Ultra-low friction chain lube for all conditions
DIRT REPELLENT
WITH THE BEST RACE SKI WAX TECHNOLOGY

In addition to skiing, we at Rex are also passionate cyclists. This is the main reason why we developed the lube. We started playing with the idea “If Rex made a chain lubricant, what would it be like?”. That sounded so interesting we had to find out!



The Rex Chain Lube recipe combines out-of-the-box thinking with the best raw materials used in high-end fluorinated ski waxes. Rex is well known for its world cup level fluorinated ski waxes and is an expert in paraffin wax-based applications with six decades’ worth of experience. Each batch of Rex Chain Lube is carefully hand-mixed at our factory in Hartola, Finland.

ELASTIC FORMULA
OPTIMIZED VISCOSITY FOR LONGEVITY

The unique elastic formula of Rex Chain Lube ensures optimal attachment to the chain without adding friction. Rex Chain Lube has been tested in road racing motorcycles at up to 300km/h speeds with good results.

When applying Rex Chain Lube, you will notice how the lube forms thin hair-like strings where the chain leaves the chainring or derailleur pulley. This happens before the lube penetrates into the chain, and it is normal behaviour.


ULTRA LOW FRICTION
DYNO TESTED AND OPTIMIZED FOR BEST LONGEVITY AND WATT SAVINGS


Dyno-tested independently by two acknowledged laboratiories on two continents: Friction Facts (USA) and Wheel Energy (Finland). In both tests the results were encouraging:

In the Friction Facts tests, Rex lube was the 10th fastest out of 55 lubes ever tested, with 5.48 W average friction.
Most of the more efficient lubes are either not chain lubes at all (olive oil, hard paraffin wax), or thin solvent-based lubes with much shorter reapplication intervals.
Rex lube is the fastest solvent-free and non-vaporizing chain lube tested by Friction Facts. (tested 7/2015)
In longevity tests done by Wheel Energy, Rex outperformed competing mineral oil and solvent-based lubricants with a significant margin.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ACHIEVING THE BEST LUBRICATION PERFORMANCE

Clean and degrease the chain thoroughly using a detergent like Rex Chain Cleaner, a chain cleaning device, or brush. Rinse well with water and let dry completely. Shake the bottle well and begin applying lube 1 drop per roller while pedaling backward.Use fingers to smoothen out and work the lube into rollers while back-pedaling at least 3-4 revolutions. Repeat applying 1 drop per roller, using the same methodas above. Lightly wipe off excess lube from the surface to avoid excess dirt build-up.

RELUBRICATION
AFTER RIDING IN DAY-TO-DAY USE

Wipe the the chain with a cloth or tissue until it appears clean. Apply lube 1 drop per roller like instructed above. Thorough cleaning is only needed if the chain extremely contaminated. Depending on conditions, typical relubrication interval is usually 50-500 km.
