This ozone safe, nonflammable, biodegradable lube is available in three sizes. 2 oz. squeeze bottle/pin type applicator $ Price in Catalog FINISH LINE CENTURY BICYCLE LUBRICANT - WET
Century lube is a medium weight synthetic oil marketed for use as a long interval between re-lubrication compound lubricant. The Century name is drawn from the fact that the this was designed for 100+ mile endurance racing or wet riding applications where periodic lubrication would be impractical. It is a transparent oil with a very light red tint, intended to stay "wet" and coat while in use, not evaporate. It comes in a 4 ounce squeeze bottle, or an 8 ounce trigger pump can. 4 oz. squeeze bottle $ Price in Catalog FINISH LINE PROFESSIONAL GREASE
This is a white Teflonª fortified, synthetic fortified grease made using Triliniumª (which we hope to learn more about by the second edition). It is made to survive awful ATB conditions and is approved for use in Grease Guardª components by both WTB and Suntour. The tube will thread into the WTB Goose Greaser. Professional grease has no lithium, and is therefore not subject to oil separation. Its white color makes detection of contamination easy. Tough and slick, it comes in a 3.5 ounce tube or a 16 ounce tub. 3.5 ounce tube $ Price in Catalog FINISH LINE GREASE INJECTOR
Finish Line is marketing a grease injector similar to the Yo Eddy and Pedros versions but has a long tip like the WTB version for grease injection. This long tip injector will work with Yo Eddy and Pedros grease tubes as well as FL and will fit into the Grease Guard¨ ports on WTB and Suntour parts. The injector includes a 3.5 ounce tube of Finish Line grease. $ Price in Catalog FINISH LINE PROFESSIONAL BICYCLE POLISH
This is one of the new liquid polishes, that will clean and protect the whole bike. It removes grease and road grime. Won't scratch paint or chrome. No abrasives. It protects against UV, doesn't attract dirt, prevents rust, sheds water. Mists on, wipes off and buffs easily. Comes in an safe spray bottle. 8 oz spray bottle $ Price in Catalog FINISH LINE TI PREP
Titanium to Titanium, or Ti to steel contact may lead to seizing or galling (tiny chips on the surface) of the Titanium part, usually a bolt, not allowing the bolt to turn further in or be removed. Applying Ti-Prep before insertionb is said to minmize or prevent this condition. Ti-Prep is sold in a tiny 5cc tube. $ Price in Catalog FINISH LINE SUSPENSION SHOCK OIL

In-depth Information About Metals Aluminum Aluminum is extracted electrolytically from bauxite ore. It is made by the electrolysis of aluminum oxide which is found in larger concentrations within bauxite ore. Bauxite is a mixture of the hydroxides of aluminum, together with other impurities such as oxides of iron, titanium, and silicon. Bauxite is produced by the weathering and change of aluminum silicate rocks usually found in tropical and semitropical regions where climate has produced an accelerated weathering process. Bauxite is not a rare ore and is widely available in the US, the Caribbean, and Europe. Approximately 4 pounds of read the full article... Beryllium Beryllium is a specialty metal that is steel-grey metal in color, with an extremely low density, making it very light weight. At 1.85 grams to the cubic centimeter, its density compares to that of magnesium. It is also a high strength metal, making it possible to design light weight, thin membered parts with ahigh stiffness. A column made of beryllium to support a load placed directly downward on top of it, will have a greater load carrying capacity, and be lower in weight than any other metal of equal size. Until the 1950's beryllium was used read the full article... Titanium The element titanium was discovered in 1763 by an English cleric, William Gregor who was an amateur chemist with an inquiring mind. It was in the black sands of Cornwall that he discovered the new element that had up to that time, attracted little scientific interest. A few years later, an Austrian, Klaproth, extracted the same element from an ore widely known as "rutile", which is a mineral consisting of titanium dioxide (one titanium atom, two oxygen atoms), that is a reddish-brown substance with a slight metallic luster. While rutile is the highest grade read the full article... Metallurgic Hardness Testing There are three types of tests used with accuracy by the metals industry,they are the Brinell hardness test, the Rockwell hardness test, and the Vickers hardness test. Hardness is the property of a metal which gives it the ability to resist being permanently deformed (bent, broken, or have its shape changed), when a load is applied. The greater the hardness of the metal, the greater resistance it has to deformation. Since the definitions of metallurgic ultimate strength and hardness are rather similar, it can generally be assumed read the full article... |
