£140 for Campy ones!!!

i need those extra 6 watts!

Lasts for 400 miles-ish that’s working out at 34p per mile!! £135 /400 miles phew!

All is not lost;

Top-up bottle available

When nanotube-treated chains meet Peak District grit, who wins?

Meh.

To put it into perspective…ride for 15 miles and that’s over £5 so well over cost of a cuppa and slice of cake….45 miles £15!!

hope it will run perfectly on my £360 jockey wheels?

anyone hazard a guess at what the magic stuff is? Kashima = molybdenum disulphide isn’t it? I’ve seen a paper on MoS2 nanotubes…….

Lasts for 400 miles-ish

so only a couple of short rides then?
8)

Plus a KNC Cassette, FSA crankset and Crown Saddle?

Lasts for 400 miles-ish that’s working out at 34p per mile!!

which can put an interesting spin on it. Getting every last micro-watt out of your blinged-out super pimped TT/track bike doing something that brings you joy, physical fitness and good mental health has the same running costs as the average car?

Shut up and take my money 😉

3 weeks too early surely?

400 miles is 40 10 mile TT’s though and 6 watts is a significant gain in time so on a £/sec basis it may not be too bad?

That explains why I am so bloody slow! It’s all the XT chain’s fault!

whatever the weather

Why would a lubricant designed specifically to be used indoors for an hour be any good for longer rides crappy weather?

I use his stuff, and they have a pre lubed chain for a much more reasonable price, if you need that sort of thing.

Squirt Lube & Cleaning – First Look

Bargain.

Seriously, what else are you going to spend money on a track bike that’ll make you 6W faster?

Continental tubs, mid-range bargain at £120/pair

Dugast latex tubs, bit more spendy, £140/pair
http://www.velodromeshop.net/index.php?p=product&id=2466
Soyo seamless tubs, well Sir wouldn’t want to come second would he?
http://www.velodromeshop.net/index.php?p=product&id=2438
£300/pair!

And it get’s better, the Soyo is the ONLY tire with an NJS stamp for use in Japanese Keirin events! So yes, people do buy them!

So if I took a regular chain, smothered it in some of these extra greasy “Nando’s tubes”

I could be 6W more efficient?
Sign me up!

Any other meat based lubrication I should consider?

I fitted a ceramicspeed jockey set yesterday for a customer and his dura ace rear mech looked like a cheap arse tourney mech as soon as it was fitted.

yeah, you can have the 8spd Altus off my Voodoo Wazoo for only £300…

I’m concerned that if I fit this fast chain to my slow bike it’ll tear off and fly away

It’ll go nicely with my 3D printed titanium jockey wheels:

Joking apart, if you had trained all year for a Kona qualifier Iron-man, this would be money well spent, even if just for the placebo

^^ you know that’s a pisstake Nikk?

If it’s the one that was on the TV, the power savings is backed up by measurements, so it’s a better way to spend your money then most of the snake oil rubbish most bikers buy.

There are i?d?i?o?t?s? clever people buying these somewhere. Fair play to MucOff for locating them.

What, you don’t fully disassemble and lube your chain after each ride? How are you going to eek out extra watts then? You need different grease on the rollers compared to the pins for best efficiency, every noob knows that.

Pfffff.

6 watts compared to what though? Don’t think it states. Same with the Ceramic Speed UFO chain. I’d like to see the test data and the reference and how it compares with, say a decent run in chain with squirt or speedwax.
