Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose between Synergetic Chain Lube, Super Secret Chain Lube, and Synerg‑E for my riding conditions?

  Choose Super Secret (wax‑based) if you want the lowest drag and cleaner chains for dry road or race use; it sheds dirt better and is ideal for high-efficiency rides. Use Synergetic Chain Lube as an all‑conditions wet drip lube for year‑round road or off‑road riding where durability and low friction matter. Pick Synerg‑E for e‑bikes or high‑torque applications — it’s formulated for higher film strength and wear protection under heavy loads.
• What applications is Synergetic Race Grease best suited for and why?

  Synergetic Race Grease is a workshop grease formulated for bearings, bushings, and assembly tasks where load stability and low friction are critical. Its high‑purity base stocks and performance additives (Silca uses nanoscale WS2 and similar advanced chemistries across its greases) improve wear resistance and longevity during rebuilds. Use it on headsets, hubs, and pivot points when you want durable, low‑drag lubrication.
• How does the TATTICO pump’s inverted design benefit on‑bike inflation?

  The TATTICO’s inverted frame‑mount design keeps the pump compact and low‑profile on the frame while improving leverage and hand position during inflation. That layout plus precision construction gives more comfortable, controlled strokes and reliable PSI delivery for roadside repairs. The pump is also built for serviceability so it can be maintained over time.
• What’s the best way to use and maintain Ultimate Tubeless Sealant?

  Add Ultimate Tubeless Sealant through the valve or by removing the bead per your tyre and rim instructions, then rotate the wheel to distribute the foaming latex evenly so it can seal small punctures. Check and top up sealant periodically (seasonally or before long rides) since latex sealants dry down over time, and replace it if performance drops. Ultimate Tubeless is designed to be compatible with common tubeless setups and to seal small cuts while helping maintain inflation.
• How does Synerg‑E compare to Synergetic Chain Lube for e‑bike drivetrains?

  Synerg‑E is specifically formulated for e‑bike torque and higher wear rates, using thickening systems like calcium sulphonate to deliver a stronger oil film and improved load stability. Synergetic Chain Lube is a versatile wet lube focused on low friction and broad‑condition durability for conventional road and MTB use; it performs well on lighter‑torque drivetrains but isn’t optimized for sustained e‑bike loads. Choose Synerg‑E for e‑bikes and Synergetic for general riding unless your e‑bike experiences heavy chain wear.
