ICE Friction Chain

Description

The ICE Friction Chain is a specially treated low friction chain for race applications.

Maximum efficiency is achieved using the following steps:

• Break-in: Simulated 250-watt rider output for 15 minutes.

  • Removes and polishes microscopic asperities – rough edges.

• Striping: Factory coating removed in a 5 – step solvent free ultrasonic cleaning process.

  • Striping of factory coating is critical to achieve low friction levels.

• ICED Coating: Chain is infused with a waxed based lubrication cocktail.

  • Chain is preheated to 200 °F prior to coating.

  • Wax-Teflon-molybdenum disulfide graphite mixture applied using hot ultrasonic immersion.

• Top Coat: Final coat of ultra-fine low friction particles applied to chain.

  • Ultra-fine low friction flake particles applied using HIP – Hot Isostatic Press process.

• Final Testing: Chain friction is measured using simulated 250-watt output.

  • Savings of over 6-watts typically achieved compared to conventional lubrication methods.

If you need a waxed chain for regular use, check out our more affordable OKR CYCLES Waxed chains.

A single application of wax lasts around 400-600km in dry conditions. We also highly recommend Molten Speedwax for wet and off-road use. Molten Speed Wax is also compatible with wax based drip lubricants, such as the Silca Super Secret or  the Ceramicspeed UFO range.
