Raffle: We are giving away 20 bicycle care sets from Dr. Wack, consisting of bicycle and chain cleaner and chain oil worth €50 each. To participate, simply answer the question at the end of the article. Much luck!
The right care for your beloved bike – opinions differ on this topic. For example, while some swear that a bit of water with washing-up liquid is sufficient for cleaning, others don't think of special cleaners. Our experience: You can also get the bike clean with clear water, but with the right cleaner it is not only much faster and more thorough, but also more gentle on the material in the end, since you can do without constant scrubbing.
The same applies to the topic of chain lubrication: Here, too, it is definitely worth using a special chain oil and perhaps not necessarily using the cheapest solution from the hardware store.
Together with Dr. Wack we are giving away a total of 20 sets for complete bike care from AZ: In addition to the obligatory F100 bike cleaner, we are also including an F100 chain cleaner and of course an F100 chain oil. The set comes in at a price of €50 – the ideal opportunity for care product skeptics out there to secure a high-quality starter set and dare the self-test.
F100 bike cleaner
the dr Wack F100 bicycle cleaner has been doing its job reliably in our editorial office for some time. Since it also adheres well to vertical surfaces after spraying, it can be distributed very well on frames and attachments. Carbon, aluminium, matt or glossy: the cleaner works reliably with all textures and removes the dirt without the hassle of scrubbing. To do this, you should let the gel work for about 15 minutes and do not place the bike in the blazing sun in summer, otherwise it will evaporate too quickly. The 1000ml bottle is enough for about 10 bike washes. Especially nice: The F100 bike cleaner is completely biodegradable.
F100 chain cleaner
If the topic of "bike cleaning" often leads to discussions, veritable religious wars are waged over the question of the correct chain cleaning. The same applies here – as is so often the case: both sides are somewhat right. On the one hand, it is often argued that chain cleaning would only damage it because the lubricants would be washed out of the links. Others, on the other hand, swear by cleaning and re-lubricating the chains after every ride. In practice, regular, not too frequent, chain cleaning followed by lubrication contributes to smooth running and durability. For example, the F100 chain cleaner also protects against rust.
F100 chain oil - NEW FORMULA
After cleaning the chain, it is absolutely essential to lubricate it again. A good creeping effect is important when selecting the chain oil, so that the lubricant can also get into the small spaces between the chain links. That's exactly what the F100 chain oil is - NEW FORMULA by Dr. Wack guaranteed. The added PTFE lubricants result in less friction and thus less wear and effort. A nice side effect: the chain runs much more quietly. Just like the chain cleaner, corrosion-reducing substances also prevent rust from forming on the chain.
