A new service option for the rider that wants unparalleled chain lubrication. By ticking this option an extra £10 will be added to your final bill.
Wether this be a new drivechain fitted during your service or your original chain, Irvine Cycles bike technicians will independantly dip your drivechain in Finish Lines revolutionary new Halo premium hot wax technology. Prior to dipping in the hot wax your drivechain will have been deep cleaned to ensure all existing grease, dirt and lubricant are completely removed, only when fully dried post cleaning will we undertake the waxing process. These steps are essential to provide the best results.
Please note : We would only recommend this service to new chains or original drivechains that are in good order. On new quality chains, we would expect good results for around 450km if riding in fair/dry weather conditions. If you ride frequently in wet weather conditions we would recommend using a dedicated wet weather lubricant rather than this hot wax procedure.
Here is an overview of the benefits you would gain by having your chain fully immersed in Halo wax lubricant :
UNPARALLELED CHAIN LUBRICATION
Since 1988, Finish Line® has dedicated itself to advancing the science of bicycle lubrication. Our HALO™ range represents our greatest achievement involving the tribology of reducing drivetrain friction and mechanical wear.
HALO® HOT WAX chain lubricant is engineered to dramatically improve drivetrain performance in all riding conditions. It reduces friction and wear caused by abrasive contaminants and provides advanced water resistance over long relubrication intervals.
KEY POINTS
Low coefficient of friction
Maximum chain cleanliness
Advanced water resistance
Improved drivetrain efficiency
Ultra-low chain and component wear for extended component life
Extreme pressure resistance for maximum power output under high torque pedalling
Extended intervals between relubrication
Reduced chain vibration and noise
PERFORMANCE INGREDIENTS
HIGHLY REFINED PARAFFIN - creates a robust, dry-to-the-touch coating that repels water, sheds friction-causing abrasive contaminants, and helps eliminate chain stains.
SPHERICAL TUNGSTEN - features a proprietary hollow core to help reduce vibrational friction caused by high torque pedalling. Micron–sized and spherical shape helps reduce sliding friction by creating a rolling effect on the surface of the chain.
CERAMIC - boron nitride platelets cover the chain to form a protective non-stick coating. This ceramic coating works synergistically with spherical tungsten to substantially reduce wear and help extend the life of drivetrain components .
