Melted Paraffin Bike Chain Lubricants. Really, why now?
We've heard from several people that they used to wax their bike chains in a coffee-can in their garage back in the 80's while watching Breaking Away on VHS.
Why the recent resurgence in melted paraffin-treated bike chains? And how is the Runaway Bike HOT TUB different than other products that are new to the scene?
Folding Bike Riders love us too!
Recumbent Riders like the HOT TUB!
Just a quick shout-out to the handsome recumbent riders over at bentrideronline.com. They know a good thing when they see it. And right now, they like our HOT TUB!
Perhaps you're having trouble deciding if a melted hot paraffin treatment is right for you. Maybe reading their review will nudge you in the right direction.
As always, let us know if you have any questions. We love to hear from you. Seriously. We're a new company and want to make sure we are on target with what people are looking for when maintaining their bikes.
Remove and Install Your Bike Chain
Using the Runaway Bike HOT TUB is the absolute best lubricant that you can buy for your bike chain. You will need to remove your chain to perform the treatment, however.
Never done that before? Fear not.

Some hard data about Paraffin Chain Lube
We've been asked by several people for data showing the benefits of paraffin treatment vs other traditional lubricants. We've also been asked if we were familiar with the "Friction Facts" web-site and their lube-guru Jason Smith. Well, yes we are! In fact, we are in contact with Jason and he has been extremely supportive. He has also provided us with a page on his web-site for everybody who wants to see some hard data showing how well a paraffin-treated chain works. To be clear, this data isn't specifically for chains done with the HOT TUB... but unless you have access to the advanced equipment that Jason has at his disposal, we think that the HOT TUB is the right solution.
