Wax, Not Oil

Liquid oil lubricates by maintaining a "wet film" on the chain. That film creates viscous resistance — and it's also what picks up dirt and grime off the road, leaving the chain gummy and black.

So BROTURES turned to wax instead. Once applied, its solvent and moisture evaporate, leaving an ultra-thin, durable film on the metal surface. There's no oily drag, and dirt has nothing to stick to.


Developed with GALLIUM

There's a company that has spent decades chasing one thing: stripping friction down to the absolute minimum.

GALLIUM is a ski wax specialist that has supported national teams at the Olympics and World Cup — the pinnacle of winter sport.

Their fight has always been against the friction between snow and sliding surface. That technology turned out to be, at its core, the very same problem we'd been feeling — the resistance between chain and oil.

BROTURES didn't commission GALLIUM because they're a famous brand. We did it because, on this one point — stripping away friction — no one takes it more seriously.

But we didn't just borrow their technology as-is. What GALLIUM has refined is low-friction performance in a "clean environment" — snow. What BROTURES deals with is sand, dust, and rain — the harsh reality of "the street," ridden hard every single day by fixed-gear riders.

Combining the two gave rise to something with no equivalent: not a track lube, not a general-purpose chain lube, but a lube built purely for street fixed-gear riding — STREET GLIDE.


Four Innovations

01 | The Feel of 100% Wax
Viscous resistance, gone. For a fixed-gear rider constantly turning the cranks, that means less friction loss and a sharp, direct feel through the chain.

02 | Repels Metal Filings and Dust
A dry film with no tackiness resists dust buildup and suppresses metal wear debris. No more black grime after every ride — peak performance, sustained.

03 | Liquid Application, Solid-Wax-Level Low Resistance
No more melting wax in a pot and dipping the chain. GALLIUM's advanced formula lets you apply it drop by drop straight from the bottle, while curing into a low-resistance film on par with solid wax.

04 | Built for the Street
Skids, backpedaling, curbs, rain — stresses a velodrome never sees. STREET GLIDE is built to withstand them, quietly silencing the noise that used to come with every ride.


Reviews from Top Riders

Keirin Racer (S-Class 1st Group): Masataka Sakurai
"Even in keirin, where hundredths of a second and direct torque transfer are everything, there's none of that oily slip — just a direct, connected pedal feel. No blackening from metal wear, and performance doesn't drop even after a 3-day race with zero maintenance. Unlike traditional wax that needs melting down, getting top-tier low resistance this easily is genuinely game-changing."

 

Road/Cyclocross Racer: Yu Matsuo (Inaame Shinano Yamagata)
"Friction loss is remarkably low, and the chain doesn't pick up grime while riding, so the bike stays clean. It holds up in dry conditions without running dry, striking a great balance of durability and quiet operation."
   

Staff Ride Review

Mechanic: KEN-CHAN
"I commute about 40km on it, and the first thing I noticed was how much 'lighter' it feels compared to oil-based lubes. It runs smooth without any of that sticky, gritty noise. It feels quieter than GALLIUM's other lubes too, which honestly just makes the ride more satisfying."


How to Use

Shake well to mix the wax components before use.

  1. Clean & Degrease — Use a strong chemical cleaner such as a degreaser or parts cleaner to fully clean and degrease the chain, removing any old oil or grime, then let it dry.
  2. Apply — Apply one drop of lube to each chain link, carefully working around the chain.
  3. Work In — Turn the crank to let the lube penetrate deep into the chain.
  4. Set & Wipe — Let it sit for 1–2 hours to allow the film to fully set, then wipe off any excess lube with a cloth. The result is a drivetrain that resists dirt and feels smooth and satisfying to pedal.



Available from 8/14 (Fri). Find it at any BROTURES store or on our official online store.

The pinnacle of Japanese technology, on your own bike. Experience STREET GLIDE — a chain lube built on the shared obsession of GALLIUM and BROTURES.
