Simplified Original Title: White Lightning Clean Ride Bicycle Chain Lubricant 8 oz

The Self-Cleaning Lubricant That's Legendary. "Clean Ride," a product of White Lightning, is the cycling industry's only self-cleaning lubricant. Formerly known as "Original Self-Cleaning Lube," this versatile lubricant has now been renamed for a more concise and descriptive title. However, the formula remains unchanged - it's the same great lube, just with a new name that encapsulates its key feature.

Clean Ride is a unique, wax-based lubricant designed specifically for bicycle chains, derailleurs, and cables. Unlike traditional oil-based lubricants, Clean Ride sets up as a dry wax film that actively sheds dirt, grime, and grit while you ride, keeping your bike's moving parts running smoothly.

The self-cleaning action of Clean Ride is activated by any contaminants that find their way onto your chain or other components. Small particles of the outer wax structure will flake off, taking the dirt, grime, or grit with them. This initiates a continuous cycle of self-cleaning, ensuring your bike stays in top condition.

With no oily film to attract abrasive particles, your chain and gears will perform better and last up to three times longer than they would with regular lubrication. This is due to the absence of that sticky, dirt-attracting film.

To ensure optimal self-cleaning performance, it's important to start with a clean chain. Clean Ride should not be mixed with oil-based lubricants, as this can compromise its unique properties. The dirtier your ride, the more active the shedding action will be, requiring more frequent re-application.

When used regularly and properly, Clean Ride will rarely require you to manually clean your chain. While your cycling companions are laboring over their bike maintenance, you'll be able to simply apply a fresh coat of Clean Ride and head out for another great ride.

The innovative self-cleaning technology behind Clean Ride is protected by four U.S. patents (5,472,625; 5,670,463; 5,885,947; and 5,898,022), making it a truly unique and groundbreaking product in the world of bicycle maintenance.

The story behind Clean Ride began in 1994 when retired research chemist Paul Maples set out to find a solution to the persistent problem of dirt, grease, and grime build-up on bike chains. His efforts led to the development of the first and only self-cleaning chain lubricant, which he aptly named Clean Ride.

In 2000, Paul Maples sold White Lightning to Hank Krause, who had been developing performance bicycle lubricants since the mid-1980s. Under Krause's leadership, the company has continued to refine and expand its lineup of bike maintenance products, all while maintaining the innovative spirit and collaborative approach that gave birth to the groundbreaking Clean Ride lubricant.
