  • Lubricant on Test : Silca Synergetic
    Worlds most exhaustive independent bicycle chain lubricant and chain testing – over 300,000km of controlled testing to date. Lubricant On Test : Silca Synergetic Cost: $53.95 Aud from Zero Friction Cycling and other online stores. Size – 59ml Photo : Manufacturers Description on package; Up to 50% reduction in friction and 90% reduction in wear. Ultra quiet, ultra fast, ultra long lasting. Directions on package For best results thoroughly clean chain before applying. SHAKE WELL! Apply one (1) drop per chain roller and backpedal 12 revolutions to work oil into chain. Wipe chain clean before riding. Extra information from Manufacturer website What is it? The Ultimate Oil Based Lube SILCA's new oil-based lubricant based on technology originally developed in F1 racing, to reduce friction and nearly eliminate wear in all metal components. Who's it for? This lube is for the demanding cyclist who wants to experience the lower friction, increased lifespan, and silence of the most advanced lubrication technologies without the extra work involved with deep cleaning, drying, and waxing their chain. WHY WE DESIGNED IT: Electron microscopy of this phenomena was first reported by Paula Ussa Aldana at the University of Lyon in France a few years back. She was able to section the test samples to expose the tribofilm, showing exactly how the WS2 nano platelets are being held in the tribofilm of ZDDP. Tribofilm formed in the wear groove of a test pin. In SILCA testing, the use of a significantly more advanced base oil than used in the University of Lyon testing has shown further improvements in both wear and friction, while careful balancing of the formulation has allowed us to mass produce the resulting oil at an attainable price despite the exotic cost of some of the ingredients.

Also sometimes used to describe suspension components, for example a swing arm pivot axle Bar ends: extensions at the end of straight handlebars to allow for multiple hand positions Bar plugs or end caps: plugs for the ends of handlebars Basket: cargo carrier Bearing: a device that facilitates rotation by reducing friction Bell: an audible device for warning pedestrians and other cyclists Belt-drive: alternative to chain-drive Bicycle brake cable: see Cable Bottle cage: a holder for a water bottle Bottom bracket: The bearing system that the pedals (and cranks) rotate around. Contains a spindle to which the crankset is attached and the bearings themselves. There is a bearing surface on the spindle, and on each of the cups that thread into the frame. The bottom bracket may be overhaulable (an adjustable bottom bracket) or not overhaulable (a cartridge bottom bracket). The bottom bracket fits inside the bottom bracket shell, which is part of the bicycle frame Brake: devices used to stop or slow down a bicycle.
