LINCARE is a tool for frequent chain maintenance, created from necessity by riders at Headshokexpert service who clean their chains after each rough ride.
LINCARE is designed to make a chain caring moment as quick and as thorough as possible.
LINCARE in not just a tool, it is in fact the way you care about your chain.
The benefits of frequent chain maintenance
- prolonged lifespan of chain, chainrings and cassette
- less noise
- smooth power transfer
- precise gear shifting
The benefits of using Lincare for frequent chain maintenance
- complete procedure accomplished quickly in high quality and efficiency
- micro particles of various dirt (sand…) are thoroughly forced out from link joints
- reduced accumulation of dirt on the chain, chainrings and cassette due to precise lubrication system
- reduced lubricant consumption
Lincare is designed similarly to a high flow shower head. It builds up high pressure inside its chamber and produces high flow of water/air through special nozzles. Works like a flow amplifier, passively imitating your pressure washer. Two round nozzles in the middle deliver oil drops to your chain links when you open the oil dispensing valve.
Lincare……
…will WASH your chain with water – it is actually rinsing with high pressure water jet, supplied from your tap. By design, the water stream is targeted to chain links, forcing out all accumulated dirt/mud/sand from inside the chain links. It will also thoroughly remove all traces of your degreasing detergent which released the muck.
…will DRY your chain with pressurized air from your garage compressor – a sharp blast of pressurized air gets beneath the chain rollers and between chain links, preparing it for final step -lubrication.
…will LUBRICATE with the oil which is safely stored in its integrated reservoir. Use the oil dosing valve to regulate dispensing rate of your lubricant. The lubricant is delivered to the chain through specially designed nozzles which apply lubricant to segments of chain links which require lubrication. The result is a clean, precisely lubricated chain, minimum oil overflow, less dirt accumulation on your chain on your your rides.
…can NOT DEGREASE your chain, for it’s using only water. You should degrease your chain before washing it with Lincare. Most convenient is a common dishwashing detergent on dishwashing sponge sliced in half – it’s fast, cheap and efficient if used frequently enough, as recommended. Stronger degreasing detergent can be used as well, if you find it necessary.
How much time does it take to complete a full Lincare procedure mentioned above?
Two minutes. But there is a learning curve. You should get familiar with the whole process and technique. After some practice, users claim successful completion within 60 seconds!
| TECHNICAL DATA | |
| Oil type compatibility / viscosity | Any liquid lubricant. Lubricant flow is manually regulated by user during lubrication |
| Integrated oil reservoir volume | 20ml. hermetically sealed. Sufficient for approx 15 lubricating sessions |
| Connection sizes | For water 3/4″G (integrated, non removable valves) + Adapter 1/4″NPT for your compressor connector |
| Chain size compatibility | 9,10,11,12 speed, some narrow 8 speed (max 7.3mm) |
| Production technology | FDM 3D Printer (body), inj. moulding ABS (valves) |
If you don’t have a faucet with garden hose, not even a small air compressor, you can still use Lincare for precise, sparing, mess free lubrication – similar to our OILBOX CHL for lubricating bicycle chains.
If you don’t have an air compressor, you can use Lincare for washing and lubrication.
If you don’t have a garden hose, you can use Lincare to dry your chain with your air compressor after conventional washing, and lubricate afterwards.

Please note
Lincare requires a frequent use. Almost after every ride, depending on riding conditions, give your chain just 2 minutes of attention. Only then Lincare can give excellent results in chain cleaning. The more you procrastinate the inevitable chain maintenance, the harder job you put on Lincare. Lincare can not handle your neglected chain. It can not scrub your chain as a brush can. If your old chain is impregnated with greasy muck, you should recover the chain’s good condition by conventional means of cleaning, with some effective brush box and stronger degreasing agent. New chain or thoroughly cleaned chain is a prerequisite to begin a fun and rewarding habit of frequent chain maintenance with Lincare.
