Application tips
Our high-performance chain lubricants are engineered to reduce drivetrain friction, enhance power transfer, and extend component lifespan. Apply in 3 precise steps for optimal results and peak cycling performance.
Sachet Guide
Prepare & Clean Your Drivetrain
Before lubricating, ensure the drivetrain is completely clean and dry. Wax-based lubricants require a contamination-free surface to bond effectively.
Rinse loose dirt with water, then apply a bike-specific cleaner (such as Fluxclean) to the chain, cassette, chainrings, and derailleur pulleys. Allow it to soak for about 5 minutes to break down oils and debris. Agitate critical wear areas with a stiff nylon brush while rotating the cranks backward.
Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed until all components are visibly clean. Dry with a microfiber towel and allow any remaining moisture to air dry.
A fully clean, completely dry chain is essential for maximum Triboflux performance.
Lubricate with Triboflux
Shake the bottle well before use. Shift into the largest chainring and rear cog to increase chain tension and improve lubricant penetration.
Position the bottle tip over the upper chain run just before the cassette and hold it steady. While slowly backpedaling, apply one drop to each roller as it passes beneath the nozzle. Do not move the bottle - let the chain move under the tip and maintain a consistent pedal speed for even coverage.
After lubricating the entire chain, backpedal several revolutions to help work the lubricant into the chain rollers and internal interfaces. Wipe away any excess lubricant from the outer surfaces of the side plates, chainring, and derailleur pulleys.
Allow the lubricant to set and cure for at least 4–6 hours before riding (overnight is ideal). This gives the wax-based lubricant time to penetrate and form a thin, transparent wax layer where it matters most—inside the chain.
Reapply as Needed
In dry conditions, reapplication is typically not necessary until the drivetrain becomes audibly dry.
Typical intervals:
250-400 miles Road / Indoor 150-300 miles Gravel / Mixed Terrain In wet, muddy, or gritty conditions: Clean thoroughly, dry completely, and reapply.
For peak efficiency and drivetrain longevity, perform a full wash and reapplication every 3-4 lubrication cycles.
Performance Reminder:
Proper preparation and cure time are what separate average lubrication from measurable performance.
Clean preparation. Precise application. Full cure time. Snap. Drip. Ride.
