Peak Bikes, Queens, New York “Purple Extreme is clearly above and beyond all lubes. At Peak Bike Shop in N.Y., we’ve turned out hundreds of tune-ups and overhauls using Purple Extreme on high-end road and mountain bikes, downhill, x-country, bmx, spin, touring and kids’ bikes. All our customers rave that their bikes never worked smoother or better! Of course, it always helps to sell a bottle of Purple Extreme to customers purchasing new bikes. It’s great to have them treat their bikes to the best from the very beginning.” Gerald Emerson.

Chain Stretch –The Inside Story
Dirt, grit and corrosion do more to ruin bike chains than anything else. Bike chains lengthen because their pins and sleeves wear. Most wear is caused by grit and particles which stick onto and then enter the chain, and grind metal on the inside. As the chain stretches, wear increases on the cassette (or rear sprocket), and chainwheel teeth.
Applying lubrication to a dirty chain only serves to carry more abrasive particles into the chain bearings and accelerate the wear.
The Solution
Chain wear can be substantially reduced by first removing all of the old lubricant and grit from your chain interior and from the outside. This is where Golden Degreaser will do an excellent job, fast. The chain can be left on your bike and the cranks rotated to clean every link. Due to the highly effective cleaning action, a chain bath is not required - just a small brush to scrub the chain and sprockets, together with a supply of water.
Secondly, after drying the chain, apply Purple Extreme. Once that has dried, your chain will attract little dirt, the lubricant will stay in place and not fly off onto you and your bike, and Purple Extreme provides the highest wear protection of any bicycle chain lubricant, as determined by Timken wear tests. Due to Purple Extreme’s Thixotrophic properties, bikes with derailleur gears are likely to run noticeably quieter, with smoother gear changes. NB: Ensure all parts of the chain receive Purple Extreme, including a coating on the sides.
From then on, your bike transmission will wear much less, and stay cleaner. One 120ml bottle provides nearly 7,000 miles (11,000km) of silky smooth running, corrosion and wear protection.
Purple Extreme is a world class synthetic lubricant, developed in Houston, Texas for industrial drive trains running in hostile environments, such as on off-shore drilling rigs, which experience conditions far more extreme than you would ever want to subject your bike to.
Notes
It is important that old lubricant and dirt are thoroughly removed before applying Purple Extreme, as stated in the instructions.
The instructions should be followed regarding the contact time of Golden Degreaser.
