the Why

& How of...

Our 'ride it SLICK' drivetrain treatment is the complete package, it both cleans and optimaly lubricates in all forseeable riding conditions. It does this by penetrating deep into the micro-crevices of your chain displacing contamination, floating it to the surface and replacing it with high quality lubricant properties

as you ride

for unmatched performance over long periods of time. All you need is a bottle of 'ride it SLICK', a good microfiber towel, and a willingness to follow simple instuctions.

SCC Tech's ride it SLICKs' advanced formula engineered with a comprehensive blend of five key components, each meticulously selected to optimize performance and durability across a diverse range of applications. Our product harnesses the power of synergy to deliver unmatched results, combining the following five elements.

the Why

 (we've got some serious witchcraft brewing)

SCC Tech's Ride It Slick's advanced formula engineered with a comprehensive blend of five key components, each meticulously selected to optimize performance and durability across a diverse range of applications. Our product harnesses the power of synergy to deliver unmatched results, combining the following five elements:

1. PENETRANT

Our formula features a potent penetrant that effortlessly infiltrates and loosens rust, corrosion, and other stubborn contaminants, ensuring thorough coverage and interaction with critical surfaces.

2. DETERGENT

An active detergent component, our formula effectively floats away micro contamination deposits, leaving your internal chain surfaces impeccably clean and primed for optimal performance.

3. DISPERSANT

Engineered to prevent particle re-adherence, the dispersant in our formula maintains a stable and well-dispersed system, preventing corrosive contamination pushed out by the detergent from re-entering your chain to ensure continued system cleanliness.

4. ADVANCED 2 PART LUBRICANT BASE

  • A high-quality synthetic lubricant provides superior lubrication properties, reducing friction and wear on moving parts, thereby enhancing equipment longevity and operational efficiency.

  • A solid state lubricating component is integrated into our formula to provide long-lasting lubrication and protection against friction, particularly under extreme temperatures and pressure. This component ensures smooth operation and extends the lifespan of equipment, even in the most demanding environments. Over time these solid state particles will store themselves in the micro-crevises of your chain improving efficiency and longevity overtime.

5. PROPRIETARY ADDITIVE

An organic compound that creates a natural affinity for metal surfaces, ensuring Ride It Slick adheres effectively and provides lasting protection

Together, these components create a comprehensive formula that not only cleans and protects but also enhances the performance and durability of a bikes drivetrain. The penetrant ensures deep cleaning, the detergent and dispersant maintain cleanliness, the synthetic lubricant minimizes friction, and the extreme pressure additives provide heavy-duty protection under stress. This combination leads to improved efficiency, reduced downtime, and extended equipment lifespan.

The Process

The Process

1

SKIP THE PRE CLEANING

  • This has been one of the toughest habits for us to break with riders. Intuitively its hard to believe a "chain lube" can effectively clean your chain, well that's why we call it a Drivetrain Treatment, because it does far more than your average chain lube.
  • RIDE IT SLICK contains very effective detergent and disperant properties, so additional products are unnecessary and typically nowhere near as effective.
  • What we've also seen is degreasers and solvents make the process longer for RIDE IT SLICK to work its way into your chain and deliver the performance and value you've heard so much about.  

2

APPLY DROP TO EACH LINK

  • Coat each roller with Ride It SLICK

  • Run through each gear combination for 5 to 15 pedal revolutions.

  • Let sit for 2-10 minutes

3

GRIP IT AND RIP IT!!!!

  • Wipe the chain, derailleur pulley wheel, and cassette thoroughly. Don't be afraid to put some muscle into it. Seriously you can't over do this.

  • So many riders get this step wrong and we think its because riders don't understand that this process is not just an exercise in wiping off excess lube, instead its CLEANING THE DRIVETRAIN, which means the better you wipe the better you clean.

4

RIDE IT!!!

Riding your bike is a key step in the application process (you heard that right). The cleaning and dispersant properties in RIDE IT SLICK stay active, floating contamination to the outside of the chain, while simultaneously the solid state lubricating properties work deep into the chain.

5

POST RIDE WIPE DOWN

  • Post ride take a minute to wipe down the chain, chainrings, cassette, and pulley wheels until your drivetrain appears clean with a slight sheen.
  • As mentioned above, riding your bike is a key step in the application process, which means after you ride do quick wipe down of your drivetrain to remove contamination that Ride It SLICK pushed to the surface.

6

WHEN TO REAPPLY

  • Swipe the outer plates of your chain with your finger. If the chain feel slick then you're good for another ride if it feels dry reapply sparingly.

  • If you feel a decline in shifting perfomance.

  • If the chain makes any noise (noise = wear) if you are waiting for your chain to make noise before reapplying you are waiting too long.

  • When you reach 25 pedaling hours on a single application its time to reapply (its not uncommon especially after 2 or 3 applications)
