Bike Milk Bike Milk is recommended by elite racers, weekend warriors, mechanics and the best bike shops as their preferred dry film chain lube. The advanced formulation has a triple action CLEAN-LUBE-PROTECT which means the drivetrain runs very clean and quiet in both wet and dry conditions. Bike Milk is better than other dry film chain lubes because: Has excellent penetrating-cleaning-degreasing properties to remove grime buildup and assist lube flow thoroughout moving chain parts. After film formation the chain stays exceptionally clean without greasy, sticky, wet residue to attract dust onto the drivetrain surfaces. Dry film coating means no wet residue buildup which can rub off to leave dark "grease" stains. Leaves a protective film on the crucially important internal contact surfaces of the chain between rollers, bushings, pins and plates. Employs a "RESERVOIR EFFECT" to deliver lube into moving parts as you ride. Perfect drivetrain lubricant for hot dusty rides (e.g. MTB) or in beach/sand conditions lasting under 4 hours. Mix in any ratio with BIKE CREAM (durable-wet-fluid) to make customised lubricant BIKE MIX e.g. 1:4 Bike Cream:Bike Milk for endurance MTB events. Great value for money (175ml pack) which lasts longer. Also available in economical 900ml workshop pack. Proudly created and made in Australia. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stage 1: cleaning chain 1 ) Degrease chain thoroughly before initial application. 2) Adjust chain onto smallest rear sprocket . 3) Shake BIKE MILK vigorously to re-suspend and disperse the active components . 4) Rotate chain backwards and direct soaking stream of BIKE MILK onto moving chain at cassette . The chain should be visibly coated with BIKE MILK and look wet. 5) Continue reverse chain rotation to allow BIKE MILK to penetrate, clean and flush contaminants from deep inside the chain . 6) After 20 seconds thoroughly wipe the residue off the chain using dry cloth . This is important because the BIKE MILK will dissolve and flush the grease and dirt from the chain and carry it to the outer surfaces, and this needs to be removed from the chain. For a very dirty or wet chain which has been gummed up with other lubricants or washed with water then this cleaning process may need to be repeated several times. A full degrease is best on a routine basis or the first time Bike Milk is used on the chain. Stage 2: Lubricate and protect 7) Rotate chain backwards and direct soaking stream of BIKE MILK onto moving chain at cassette . The chain should be visibly coated with BIKE MILK and look wet. 8) Continue reverse chain rotation to allow BIKE MILK to penetrate, flush and coat moving surfaces of the chain . 9) Allow the BIKE MILK to dry on all of the metal surfaces of the chain to form a protective lubricating film. Leaving overnight is recommended. In very cold (freezing) conditions Bike Milk does not evaporate as fast and needs longer time to bond to the chain. 10) Repeat this apply/dry lube process several times if chain has been fully degreased or a thicker film is required for endurance rides. For dry riding conditions it is best to wipe residue from the surface of the chain with a clean rag prior to riding. The chain will look clean on the outside and is less attractive to dust. The lube remains active on the internal surfaces. The BIKE MILK should be left to dry on the chain to provide a protective water-repellant lube coating on inner surfaces of the drivetrain. If the gaps inside the chain (between rollers, pins and plates) are packed with the tenacious film lubricant it will help prevent dirt and water from wicking into the gaps and increasing friction and wear. There is only minimal external surface coating left with Bike Milk, and most of the lubricant bound inside the moving parts of the chain. LIMITATIONS: Failure to effectively degrease, clean and dry the chain prior to applying Bike Milk will compromise the bonding of the dry film lubricant onto the metal surface. The lubricant will not last as long in this situation. When riding in warm dry dusty conditions for longer than 4hr or when re-applying lubricant immediately before or during an endurance event the best lubricant option is Bike Mix (1:4 mixture of Bike Cream and Bike Milk). In some conditions Ride Mechanic Bike Cream (durable-wet-fluid) is the best lubricant i.e. endurance road riding for high power output riders; road commuters wanting 400km between lube applications; road riders who want the convenience of applying immediately pre-ride; riding in very cold conditions where dust levels are low e.g. snow conditions. Excessive drivetrain noise can be caused by several things e.g. noisy jockey wheels, misaligned derailleur, poor meshing of chain and sprocket, grit adhesion on outside of chain during wet rides etc and cannot always "blame" noise on the lubricant. To test if lubricant coating is in place, pinch chain between finger/thumb and run along top/bottom of links to see if residual lube is present and rubs off. Because there is no "wet" residue left on the outside of chain Bike Milk runs exceptionally clean and smooth with minimal residual present on outer surfaces. This means reduced surface protection in wet conditions. After a wet ride it is very important to ensure the whole bike and in particular the drivetrain is thoroughly dried and re-lubricated soon after being wet. WET vs DRY CHAIN LUBRICANTS Simple demonstration comparing wet and dry chain lubricants. Wet lubricant remains a fluid which can flow around inside & outside the chain to give long-lasting lubrication on inside and outside surfaces. It does attract and retain more dirt. MECHANICS OF CHAIN LUBRICATION & THE "RESERVOIR EFFECT" A detailed investigation of Bike Milk performance has been carried out using a penetrating fluorescent dye. Full report is available here . In summary, when a clean, degreased and dry 10sp bushingless chain is well conditioned with Bike Milk it is lubricated and protected in the key areas it is required, 1) between the outside of pins and the inside of the spigots, 2) between the outside of the spigots and the rollers, 3) between the outer plates and the inner plates. The outside of a Bike Milk conditioned drivetrain appears very clean and dry. The lubricant stays inside the chain where it is needed, even in wet conditions, and fills the cavities preventing the ingress of further contaminants. The surprising longevity of Bike Milk performance in a variety of riding conditions may be explained by the RESERVOIR EFFECT where a film of Bike Milk is retained between the rollers and the spigots then delivered to the pin while riding. Regular cleaning and lubrication of a chain with Bike Milk will assist with drivetrain performance and protection. With no lubricant dirt particles and corrosive contaminants in these areas can cause damage and excess chain and drivetrain noise. Highly penetrating BIKE MILK lubricant and cleaner works most effectively when applied to a moving bicycle chain. The movement of the links, pins and rollers during application directs the fluid onto the hidden moving surfaces of the pins, rollers and plates. When BIKE MILK targets these areas it dissolves grease and flushes out dirt and other residues as the moving chain rotates on the bike. These contaminants become mobile and can be removed from the bicycle chain by wiping with a dry, lint-free cloth. After penetrating, flushing and cleaning each chain link the the BIKE MILK dries to form a lubricating and protective waterproof film on all contact points of the cycle chain. By coating the pins and rollers BIKE MILK is effectively sealing access points to the inner surfaces preventing further ingress of water, dirt and other contaminants. REGULAR BIKE CHAIN CLEANING & LUBRICATION GIVES SMOOTH AND SILENT PERFORMANCE AND PROTECTION. The most common complaints about BIKE MILK are for a new user moving across over from another lube and says BIKE MILK doesn't provide silent running for long enough. Not good news!! The reason is that BIKE MILK works best when it forms a tough film on the metal right inside the chain where the pins and rollers are working. When these hidden surfaces are still coated with another lubricant, especially a mobile wet lube, BIKE MILK doesn't want to bond. If there is a problem noticed after initial use then much better to fully degrease and start with a clean dry chain. It is also best to fully degrease and clean after a few thousand km when there is obvious build-up on chain plates. The preferred degreasing option is a light hydrocarbon (use gloves) and a toothbrush or a sonicator. Another common complaint about BIKE MILK is that it does not last much beyond 4h. This is because the dry film squeezes out of the pins and rollers over time, and in particular when the rider has high power output or is using a narrower 11-sp chain. On the road bike (not as dusty) then the best option is to move across to using BIKE CREAM which is a durable wet fluid. If riding endurance events on the MTB then a recommended option is to increase the durability and add BIKE CREAM to the BIKE MILK and make your own customised ratio BIKE MIX . A preferred Bike Mix ratio for endurance MTB is 1:4 Bike Cream:Bike Milk. This assists the Bike Milk to remain in place for longer and remain a dry film. This BIKE MIX is not as dirty in dust as the Bike Cream wet lube so it offers a very good compromise for many longer ride conditions. BIKE MIX has been used routinely by 24h specialist Brett Bellchambers in endurance events and with good pre-loading has done a 12h event (225km) without needing to reapply lube. BIKE MIX was also used in the 4400km Tour Divide event with nightly application before resting and average of 220km riding per day in various riding conditions. Experienced riders intuitively know that a clean and well lubricated chain gives better performance. Can this be quantified? Friction Facts in the US have setup a lab to test friction in the drivetrain using the piece of equipment shown below. Basically a torque load is applied to the rear axle to simulate the load at the rear wheel. The chain is setup just like a bike drivetrain. Friction losses due to the drivetrain are measured with one transducer on the front drive shaft and one on the rear load shaft. When the equipment is being used both sensors measure the torque on their respective shafts. It is assumed that the difference between the power measured at the rear axle and the power measured at the front axle is the friction loss due to the drivetrain. If the rear sensor is measuring 250 watts and the front sensor is measuring 265 watts, then the drivetrain loss is 15 watts, i.e. the chain is “94% efficient.” Picture obtained from Friction-Facts.com In one paper the boffins at Friction-Facts.com tested the friction loss of several chains after a cyclocross event (red column). They tested the same chains again after they had cleaned and lubed them (blue column). This comparison in power loss gives an indication of the efficiency improvements which can be generated by cleaning and lubing the chain. In one chain the power loss was reduced by 45% (12.91W to 7.07W) after the chain was cleaned. This is obviously an extreme case as CX events can be very dirty but it does prove that a clean chain provides better performance and efficiency. Picture obtained from Friction-Facts.com. Quite a lot of maintenance work is done in outdoor conditions and the lube bottle can get cold. In low temperature conditions the solid lubricant component in some chain lubes can solidify and no longer flows to penetrate the links and effectively coat the inside contact surfaces of the chain where the lubricant is most required. In the shots below BIKE MILK and another popular wax based "dry" lubricant are compared in pleasant daytime conditions (top) and after cooling at 4 o C (bottom). It is clear that the amount of solid lubricant in BIKE MILK does not change at different temperatures. However, the other wax lube product shows much higher levels of undissolved solid lubricant in cold conditions. Some dry lubricants (not BIKE MILK) contain a wax dissolved in a hydrocarbon carrier/cleaner solvent. When the temperature drops, the solubility of the wax decreases. The viscosity increases and the wax component is not applied to the chain and does not perform on the chain as it does in normal conditions. IMPORTANT: the evaporation rate of the Bike Milk carrier/cleaner solvent reduces in cold conditions and it becomes more important to dry surfaces and apply then leave for longer than normal after application to evaporate and form the protective coating. In very cold conditions where there is ice/snow and no liquid water then BIKE CREAM is a good lubrication option and has been proven in winter conditions in Alaska ( Iditarod Trail Invitational ). BUSHINGLESS CHAIN The chain on almost every bike now is "bushingless". The original invention by Guy Dupoyet was patented in 1978 by Compagnie des Transmissions Mecaniques Sedis and the original patent is here . A good quality bushingless chain can last a very long time with good lubrication. They shift well and can be made light and narrow. This development is arguably the biggest technical improvement which has happened to a bike over the last 30 years. Some riders (especially single speed) prefer to use bushing-type chains but the inner plates on these are rigid pairs, so the sideplates can't float to relieve contact force between the inner and outer plates as the chain is shifted slightly off a perfect chainline. The result is that bushing chains will have more friction and are much noisier without heavier lubrication and they often have poor service life. Bike Milk can be used on padlocks, bike locks and other pin key locks to effectively get things moving smoothly & leave a protective residue. OTHER USES FOR BIKE MILK LOCK & KEY: Apply the Bike Milk with key inserted in the lock and wait a few seconds for it to penetrate before trying to turn lock. Once things start to move then keep flushing out with a more Bike Milk. When all starts moving nicely wipe down and leave to evaporate/dry. The dry lube film of Bike Milk doesn't clog up (graphite powder sometimes does if it gets moist) and it doesn't leave a grimy fluid residue on the key and attract dust like some other wet lubes..

THE BIG RING S/S CASUAL T-SHIRT

20mm x 90cm HEAVY DUTY COMBO LOCK

Anatomical Aero Cut Is where it all starts, developed over many years with a vast amount of interactions with a range of dedicated riders to optimize a fit that is precisely made for being in the ride position. Just like a GUCCI suit is made for standing and looking fine The Big Ring Jersey is made for going for fast and holding that firm Aero position pumping out the watts. Super Flex - Mesh Side Panels We all want a Pro-Fit, but what you might not be aware some of the Top-End Pro Teams have custom individually hand-crafted clothing, which can be done by any clothing brand on case by case bias The real skill is making a production Jersey that is going to deliver great fit across a set size range to suit most riders that will not ?break the bank?. Super Flex Mesh Side panels are highly elastic, combined with our signature Anatomical Aero Cut and the best 3D Honeycombed highly flexible super fine yarn materials deliver a fit and quality feel that is very hard to obtain. Italian Fabric Quality fabric will wear better and offer improved fit and feel. The fabric we use is milled in Italy and is highly engineered, and is tested to very strict international standards for quality control, before it enters our factory, if any of the following criteria?s don?t come up to the advertised high specifications we don?t use it specific Mass/Weight, Density, Thickness, Elasticity, Dimensional Stability, Pilling Resistance, Abrasion Resistance, Snagging resistance, UV Resistance, Air Permeability QUALITY COMES WITH SUBSTANCE ? Breathability Micro Capillary Channels The Breathability of material is paramount to the overall performance of the Cycling Jersey, Cycling is a unique sport as the intensity of workout achieved by an inform cyclist is huge, just like a high-performance car we benefit from extra cooling, your core temperature goes up performance goes down rapidly. At 35km plus your biggest obstacle is the AIR you are pushing through, Aero is important! But the cooling effect of the Air you are pushing through is often forgotten about and is one of the reasons us riders can push so hard on the pedals (we are well cooled) compared to say runner pounding their body and only going 12km average. The more effective the Cycling Jersey material is at moisture wicking and breathing in the right areas the faster you will go! Flat Aero Waist Griper Positioned at the front of the Jersey gives more of seamless layering between you and the bib shorts it has a slight rubberized feel with light compressive ribbing for a comfortable compressive feel that holds flat to the body. It has slight grippy feel rather thesticky feel of silicon strips. It sits flatter and is more Aero Ribbed Compression Sleeves with Laser Cut Ends? This material is so good we actually postponed the release of our new Kit-Onerange until we could get this new technically superior material in production quantities. Longer close-fitting sleeves is a trend derived from Time-Trialing. As sporting fabrics have evolved breathability, compressive flexibility and strength have considerably improved over the materials we could source only a decade ago. The ?longitudinal-ribbing?placement along the length of the sleeves ensures you have a much greater range of flexibility while still having comfortable amounts of compression around the circumference of your arms. (no more sleeves flapping in the wind = speed). The ends of the arm hole fabric are finished with a laser cut, to seal the fabric and give a seamless super flat aero finish. Your arms get the sun and wind, the extra cover and compression is welcome addition to any rider look for that little bit of extra performance. 4 x Rear Pockets Layering, Money, Phone, Food are essential to your cycling journeys, pockets to carry them in are just as important, the center pocket is double layered with a locking external zip that has aninternal cam action on the zip puller so once zipped up and flipped down your coffee money is staying with you no matter what the road throws at you. Reflective BlackSide Tabs? LED lights are crazy bright these days, but every little bit helps especially if lighting equipment fails, the Reflective black tabs are barely noticeable in the daytime but shine a light at night and they seriously light up, this is solid manufactured material not a cheap reflective ink that will deteriorate and fall off. A nice little add-on that will make your ride safer every time without impacting on the overall look of your Jersey. Strong YKK Lockable ZipYKK Zips are the number one maker of zips in the world, we could spec zip that looks the same at half the price, but it would be half the quality. We have specified a full hidden Zip design as it gives a seamless full graphic with aero finish to the font of the Jersey, the zip goes the full length of the Jersey for easy fitment and extra cooling if required. We feature a Zip with a locking cam feature, in the pulling position it has the cam disengaged, with The Big Ring Zipper Pull tab facing down it?s in the locked in position no slipping, so you can custom regulate exactly where you want the zip to stay open-to for additional cooling if required It?s the little-things that makes difference. UVA and UVB sun protection Decent rides are 2-3hours on average, that is a significant time to be exposed UVA and UVB sunlight. The sunlight that reaches us is made up of two types of harmful rays: Long wave ultraviolet A (UVA) and short wave ultraviolet B (UVB). UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis, the skin?s thickest layer. Being unprotected leads to premature skin ageing and even suppression of the immune system. UVB burns the outer layer of your skin and can play key role in skin cancer. Please Note: Riding in the hours between 10:00am and 4:00pm are the peak hours of exposure. Inspiring Graphic - Riders love being fit, the unique feeling of Rider and Machine literally working together as one is something special that captivates us all from a young age whether it?s your first bike as hand-me- down or a special purchase with many zero?s after it. Looking good and feeling good is all part of the action that is cycling. Some of The Big Ring designs are bold, some are sublime and reserved, our aim to inspire you with great looking kit that pushes the envelope just like pushing the Big Ring. Matching kit gives more impact and makes a statement. Temperature Range The Big Ring Jersey Range willwork in temperature 15?-?37?Degrees Celsius, the comfort level will vary of course with intensity level of your workout and the climate/temperature that you operate in, layer with appropriate base layers for hotter or colder conditions for improved thermal control. Outer Layers are required for colder conditions starting with cycling vest, then arm warmer and legwarmers for conditions in the 7?-?14?degrees Celsius. Temperatures below 7?degrees Celsius we recommend cycling booties, full length thermal cycling bib shorts, thicker warmer base layers and high quality breathable shell jackets and vest. In extreme heat conditions 30 Celsius plus Lightweight Sun Protection Sleeves can be beneficial for cooling and sun protection. ?This is rough guide everyone has unique needs, just remember layering gives you options.
