Product Information
Full details
Rehook Bio Chain Wax is designed for cyclists who prioritize drivetrain longevity and environmental responsibility, offering a plant-based, biodegradable alternative to traditional petroleum-based lubricants. Its wax-based formula excels at creating a dry, protective coating that prevents dirt and grit buildup, though it does require a completely clean drivetrain during initial application to ensure proper adhesion.

FAQs
Do I need to strip my chain if it is brand new?
Yes, most new chains come with a factory packing grease that is not compatible with wax. Degrease it thoroughly before the first application.
Can I use this on my e-bike?
Yes, the formula is specifically designed to handle the higher torque loads of e-bike drivetrains while maintaining efficiency.
How often should I re-apply?
Apply whenever the chain begins to sound noisy or if you have ridden in wet, rainy conditions that may have washed off the wax.
Is this product non-toxic?
Yes, it is a plant-based, biodegradable lubricant safe for the environment.
Does it wash off in the rain?
While it is durable, wax is a 'dry' lubricant. If you ride in extreme downpours, you should wipe the chain and re-apply the wax once it dries.
Troubleshooting
Wax flaking off immediately
The chain was not sufficiently degreased. Strip the chain completely of all old lubricant and ensure it is bone-dry before re-applying.
Drivetrain feels stiff
You may have applied too much wax. Wipe away excess product with a lint-free cloth and ensure the wax has had adequate time to set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the wax bonds correctly, your chain must be stripped of all existing grease or oil. Use a high-quality degreaser to clean the chain thoroughly, then dry it completely before applying the Rehook Bio Chain Wax. Apply a single drop to each chain link, ensuring it penetrates inside the rollers. Let the wax set and dry completely—ideally for several hours—before riding. For ongoing care, simply wipe the chain clean with a dry cloth and re-apply a light layer of wax as needed, especially after riding in wet conditions.
