Rock "N" Roll Chain Lube Overview:


WizWheelz recommends Rock "N" Roll lubrication for your TerraTrike. Rock "N" Roll chain lubes are formulated to clean and lube at the same time. Extreme, Gold, and Absolute Dry go deep down into the links, trapping dirt and floating it to the surface where you can wipe it off. Rock "N" Roll chain lubes create a protective membrane that keeps new dirt out and the lube inside, where it's needed.


Application Instructions


1. Shake well and apply a stream of lube to the chain at the cassette.
2. Do not drip the lube on like you would oil. This is not oil!
3. Get the chain really wet, this stuff cleans and lubes at the same time. Freewheel the chain backwards for not less than 5 seconds.
4. Wipe off all the excess lube (all of it, wipe the chain as clean as it will get). That's it go ride…


What makes Rock "N" Roll chain lubes the King of Lubes?

The Extreme, Absolute Dry, and Gold chain lubes are formulated to clean and lube at the same time when applied. What is going on is this: The formulation goes deep down into the chain and traps any dirt. Then, with the chain freewheeling backwards and the formulation trapping the dirt and grit, the dirt and grit float to the surface so you can wipe it all off. This leaves a new and clean application of lube inside the chain where it's needed (you have created a protective membrane to keep dirt away from the moving parts of the chain for super smooth shifting and pedaling).

Many riders ask, "What is the difference between the Extreme, Absolute Dry, and the Gold?" The Extreme is for mountain bikes but can be used on the road (it is especially good on crushed gravel rail-trails). The Absolute Dry is for the road only (the ultimate in dry and clean lubrication), while the Gold is for all bikes (especially in rainy locales).


A few tips for using Rock "N" Roll chain lubes:

  • Put the chain on the big ring, in the front, and the small cog, on the back.
  • Apply the lube on the chain, over the top of the cog. Let a nice flow (don't be cheap) onto the chain, remember you're going to clean and lube at the same time.
  • After application, freewheel the chain backwards, and wipe off all of the dirt and grit that has come up to the surface. Remember, you can't wipe off the chain too much, so make that chain shine.
  • Shift the chain off the big ring, so you can wipe off the chain ring to clean up the little bit of residue left behind.
  • For best results allow your chain to sit a few hours (however, you can ride at once).
  • Allowing the lube a chance to fully set-up gives the lube a bit more life.
  • Remember, to wipe off your chain after riding regardless if you're going to re-lube or not. This keeps the chain clean and looking great.
