Innovative, precise, eco-friendly chain-lubrication
Ah, the art of lubing a bike chain – it can be a slippery affair. But fear not, my friends, for the South African-based Ryder Innovation has brought forth the Luberetta, a game-changer in the world of bicycle maintenance. This ingenious little device has garnered the prestigious Eurobike 2021 Award, and for good reason.
You see, the Luberetta's charm lies in its simplicity. The canister and silicone dispenser cap duo is designed to ensure that even the most hurried cyclist can effectively lube their chain without making a mess. Gone are the days of fumbling with extended drip nozzles in low-light conditions, struggling to maintain a steady hand as the lubricant finds its way everywhere but the chain.
With the Luberetta, you can bid farewell to the environmental impact of excess lube dripping onto the garage floor or bike trail. Not only does this compact device minimize waste, but it also optimizes your chain lube budget. With 15 milliliters of lube lasting for around 40 applications, you'll be riding smoothly for miles to come.
And if I may say so, there's a certain elegance to the Luberetta's design. The silicone dispenser cap, with its guide channel and dirt-removing fins, envelops the chain with ease, applying the perfect amount of lube to each link. It's a testament to the ingenuity of the human spirit when faced with the age-old problem of maintaining our beloved bicycles.
In my humble opinion, the Luberetta is not just a tool, but a symbol of our dedication to sustainable living and the joys of cycling. It's a prime example of how, through innovation, we can make our lives easier while still being mindful of the environment. So let us raise a toast to Ryder Innovation for making our world just a little bit better – one well-lubed bike chain at a time.
