+FAQ

+It's vital to clean your chain thoroughly before applying Biomaxa for the 1st time.

Biomaxa goes on as a liquid and sets into a waxy state.
Use a mechanical chain cleaner and suitable cleaning solution before applying for the first time.
If your drivetrain is dirty, the muck will mix with the lube and set into a nasty wax that is extremely difficult to remove. Dirt in the drivetrain increases wear and it won't run as smoothly as a well cleaned, well lubed setup.
Apply the night before so the oil penetrates the links and sets into a waxy state.
Wipe off the excess the next morning.

+Tell me more about Biomaxa?

Lanolin is a wax which is extracted from shorn sheep’s wool in a process called scouring. Its natural qualities are ideal for lubrication, water repulsion, and it penetrates easily into the chain providing long lasting performance.
The multi-purpose cap design combines a precision nozzle with a chain guide cap. Wastage is minimised, giving you more value for money. The flat bottle’s compact size means it can easily be carried conveniently in a backpack pocket.
Biomaxa is New Zealand made. All Lanolin used in this product is sourced from NZ by local wool scouring companies. Not only is the product inside biodegradable, sustainable and naturally sourced, every part of the bottle can also be recycled.
Biomaxa is predominantly lanolin but contains some plant and mineral oil additives to make it suitable for mechanical lubrication purposes. Normal contact is not harmful, but prolonged skin contact may cause irritation. Wash with soap and water.
The lanolin formulation is safe on all materials including carbon. Biomaxa won't attack or degrade any of your bike parts.

+Biomaxa vs Teflon lubes?

Teflon lubes work great (especially in dry conditions) and are self-cleaning. We like that.
With Biomaxa you need to use a mechanical chain cleaner and suitable cleaning solution more often than when using a teflon lube. But on the flip side Biomaxa scores with two big ticks:

You will generally get a lot more riding between lubes - so your drive train remains sweet for longer.
And it's all natural - no mini oil slicks left in backcountry waterways while re-lubing.

So wanted it to work ...

I was genuinely excited about using a non-toxic chain grease. Unfortunately, Biomaxa proved to be very sticky, causing massive dirt build-up along drivetrain. Easy application and good for first few days but did not work for me on dirt or for longer road rides.

Hi Martin, thanks for your feedback. It's certainly more oily (lanolin) than a dry lube. On first application, it's really, really important to apply to a clean chain. Apply the night before so the oil penetrates the links and sets into a waxy state. Wipe off the excess the next morning. Once people get the hang of it they really really like it! But happy to chat if you need to, 1800 145 333. Pedal on, Ernie

Biomaxa Chain lube

I used this last weekend. Not a great regular lube user on my bikes ( yes I know but I am a weekend rider mostly ) I found it smooth and easy to apply. I’d buy it again.

Chain lube

The biomaxa comes with a unique chain lube dispenser nossle built into the bottle. Far better way of administering lube with more control and direction, less waste also. Good stuff all round.
