Super strong and fast, Finish Line Citrus Bike Chain Degreaser was the industry's original orange peel based cleaner that has set the standard since 1988. Citrus Bike Chain Degreaser is formulated with powerful and natural citrus extracts, so a bicycle drivetrain will clean up faster and with less scrubbing. This technology will break down and remove the grease, oil, and wax that build up on a bike's drivetrain. Rinse with water for a residue free finish.

Tri-Flow Superior Lubricant is a superior, light viscosity lube that allows for deep penetration into hard-to-reach moving parts. The aerosol spray action allows you to have a focused spray for even application. High-grade petroleum oils provide optimum lubrication under extreme temperatures (-60 to 475°F) and humidity. Formulated solvents soften and remove dirt and contaminants, while special additives displace moisture and prevent rust and corrosion. Formulated with P.T.F.E.

Boeshield T-9 was designed by Boeing Aviation as a corrosion inhibitor for aircraft components. Through licensing, this product is available to consumers and businesses. Boeshield T-9 is a combination of solvents, lubricants and waxes designed for penetration, moisture displacement, lubrication and protection.

Boeshield T-9 dries to a thin waxy film that clings to metal. Because it adheres to metal so well, it works directly on exposed metal surfaces. The product can be used in two ways to prevent rust.

A thicker coating works in places where additional protection is helpful such as on hinges, chains, undercarriages, cables and on items put into storage. To apply a thicker coating, just apply it to the surface and leave it.

A thin coating works well when direct contact is made with the surface such as on cast iron table tops, garden tools and other hand tools. To use a thin coating just apply it and use a rag to remove the excess. Applications of T-9 every few months maintains the rust inhibiting barrier.

Unlike some products, it is safe on paint, plastics and vinyl. As an added benefit it will also loosen rusty and corroded parts.

CeramicspeedUFO Drip - New Formula

This new and improved formula of the CeramicSpeed UFO Drip Chain Coating is even faster and longer-lasting than the first formula.

The chain coating is developed to support all disciplines and is based on a non-toxic, non-flammable, and biodegradable formula.

180ml / 6oz bottle contents
300 km. per coating
Up to 35 coatings per bottle
Over 15% faster than previous formula
Increased temperature stability - apply between 5-35oC / 41-95oF

The CeramicSpeed UFO Clean Drivetrain thoroughly removes grease and grime from all drivetrain components. The unique properties dissolve wax from internal rollers, and all surfaces of chain links. 

UFO Clean Drivetrain is designed and formulated to clean and prepare chains for wax coatings and uses the same formula as we at CeramicSpeed use internally to prepare our UFO Chains. 

This is a non-toxic and biodegradable formula - environmentally friendly and safe.

Tech Data

• Non-toxic and biodegradable formula
• Thoroughly removes grease and grime from all drivetrain components
• Developed and bottled in Denmark
• Avoid applying directly to disc brake pads
• Contains 1 litre
• Not to be used as a bearing cleaner
• Safe for carbon, glossy or matte painted, and anodized surfaces

In the tubular tire-rim interface, the difficult surface to work with is the rim. Base tape, which is just about always a woven strip of cotton cloth, is easy. Glue seeps between the threads, stays there and dries. The rim is another story. The glue has to bond to the rim in some way, but not permanently. Though alloy rims don't pose a problem, conventional wisdom is that conventional tubular glue takes a bit more care in prep when mounting tubulars to carbon rims, so Continental developed two types of Rim Cement in order to reduce the risk you'll suffer a Beloki due to poorly matched adhesives.

Conti's standard glue is optimized for aluminum; the carbon-specific glue is optimized for carbon. They aren't willing to divulge to us the science behind what makes the carbon-specific cement carbon-specific, no doubt fearing the rise of a Competitive Cyclist tub glue competitor. All the same, Continental assures us that either will work on either rim, just the specific glues work better with their intended rims.

Regardless of Conti's assurances, we recommend going with the standard option for alloy and the carbon option for carbon. To justify our position, we refer you again to the above Beloki reference. That crash may have been caused by melting glue on a hot descent with heavy braking, but there's no reason to add any more risk than necessary.

Despite the presence of whatever alchemical agent recommends the carbon cement for carbon rims, the two glues are about the same in terms of texture, viscosity, curing time, etc. A single 25g tube of Continental Carbon Rim glue should be enough to secure one tire to one wheel, with maybe a little left over.

Tubular tires are awesome until you get a flat and feel like leaving your wheels on the side of the road and carrying your bike home on your back. Vittoria's Pit-Stop Road Racing and Tire Repair Kit will save your punctured bacon, though, by plugging any holes with fast-acting latex foam that will seal your tubes or tires for miles and miles. You can even use it preemptively to prevent flats if you want. The canister works with both Presta and Schrader valves, and the foam is lighter than traditional liquid sealant, so it won't slow you down when you throw it in seat bag or strap it to a seat tube.

• Latex Foam sealant
• Road or MTB use
• Permanently seals most punchers
