Torque Specifications

As carbon fibre becomes increasingly common in the mountain bike world, and components get lighter and lighter, it's more important than ever to ensure bolts are tightened to the proper torque spec. Simply tightening a bolt until it's "snug" isn't enough - under or over-tightening can lead to damaged components or rider injury. Pinbike spoke to Jay Seiter, an R&D engineer at Pedro's North America, for the basics of torque spec and proper torque wrench usage.

WHICH L**E SHOULD I CHOOSE ? (available online at https://cycleman.co.za/product-category/bikecare/)

To get the best performance from your chain lubricant, it is important to choose one that matches your preferences and your riding conditions. Pedro’s offers a lubricant for all types of conditions from super dry or a wet & rainy day out. We have also for years been working with professional teams and get their feedback which we use to develop the qualities of the l***s.

Ice Wax 2.0: Natural wax dry lubricant designed for dry conditions. The benefit is a very clean chain with a minimum build up of dirt and grim. The trick is to coat the chain liberally with Ice Wax many hours before riding the bike. The wax needs to dry and harden, we use water as solvent instead of petroleum based compound which are no good for us when they evaporate. Once the Wax has dried, it is ready to perform and you will hear that the whole drivetrain sound differently - to us it is a nice clean tune the drivetrain is singing.

Go!: Biodegradable, low viscosity, wet lubricant for clean and dry conditions. This l**e is extremely viscous and will seep in between the links and plates. You need a relatively small amount of this l**e making it less prone to attract dirt than a normal wet l**e. It will handle a fair amount of wet, but avoid a long ride in constant pouring rain (which we all like to avoid in any case if we can :). The l**e is made from canola and apart from good friction reduction, it also provides superior oxidation protection. You can try this oil on stuck bolts and screws, it will not act as a rust remover, but surely help to loosen up oxidations. Another good use due to it's low viscosity is spoke ni***es and traditional brake and gear cables.

Chainj: Biodegradable, medium viscosity, wet lubricant for mixed conditions. This l**e is the perfect l**e if you want something that handles all conditions. It will attract some dirt over time and require cleaning of the chain after some use. We have though made sure it is coming of with a degreaser without too much work.

Syn L**e: Synthetic lubricant for extreme wet and dirty conditions and maximum longevity. This l**e is super efficient in reducing friction and it will keep the chain well l**ed the whole race, no matter how bad the conditions are. These are properties valued by athletes (and their mechanics) and it is used by top performing teams in both road and MTB disciplines. The draw back is the build up of dirt. If you don't mind cleaning the chain a bit more often, then this is a l**e for you. We included detergent properties in the l**e making the job easy to clean the chain. The l**e will actually do a bit of the job while you are pedalling.
