What are the differences between Sq**rt Long Lasting L**e, E-bike Wax and Low Temp L**e?
Sq**rt Long Lasting L**e
Is our original wax-in-water emulsion specifically formulated as an effective bicycle chain lubricant requiring minimal maintenance.
E-bike Wax
Demands on the drivetrain of an E-bike are higher than on regular bikes. With the higher average mass of E-bikes, nearly constant assistance from the electrical motor and rider input, more power is transferred to the drivetrain, specifically the chain. This results in more demanding operating conditions for the lubricants to ensure components last as long as possible. As such our E-bike Wax formula contains high-pressure additives and friction modifiers to restrict disproportionate chain wear.
Low Temp L**e
Lubricants tend to thicken at temperatures below freezing, increasing viscous drag and reducing efficiency. This happens to both oils and wax-emulsion l***s like Sq**rt. Although Sq**rt is a dry-to-touch lubricant once the water has evaporated, it performs best in a certain temperature range. Waxes tend to get brittle at extremely low temperatures so to maintain optimum functionality at these temperatures, we specifically developed Low-Temp l**e.
The modified congealing point formula in Low-Temp l**e maintains performance at very low temperatures by stabilizing wax consistency. Suggested operating temperature range: minus 20℃ (-4℉) to 5℃ (40℉)
It is however important to note that the l**e in the bottle should not be allowed to freeze as it is a wax-in-water emulsion. It should be stored and applied at temperatures above freezing and left to dry before riding, preferably indoors.
Once it has dried and the water has evaporated, only the wax is left on the chain. The Low Temp wax is designed not to harden in the extreme cold.
