Last week we gave Pacific Swim Bike Run a visit in Stamford CT. Sean Belfast (Their resident bike guru) was kind enough to demo 2 bike cleanings using our Rand Momentum. Check out the videos below for his reactions and how momentum can be applied to bicycles. 

We had Jared take a gun from a local range that was filthy and put our CLP to the test. Check out the video below for the results!    

We ran 250 rounds through 2 Glock 22's. (1 pretreated with our CLP and 1 untreated) Check out the results!

In this series of videos we begin with Jon and Jared pretreating a glock 22. We then will shoot 250 rounds through each and examine the difference. 

I've recently discovered the source of the noise that's been driving our office insane for the past few days. The culprit? The front door of our building has been creaking and squeaking like you've never heard. We instantly thought, "What better test subject than this for our Rand Renew?!?" So we had Jon hit the hinges with a few pumps each and before you know it, the door was pretty much silent. See the video below!

  Our nano-particles have the abilities to do incredible work to existing metals, however, that is not the only application to which they’re limited. This Nanowerk article illuminates the integration of nano-particles and nanotechnology to cement, and how it has the ability to “address some of the challenges such as CO2 emissions, poor crack resistance, long curing time, low tensile strength, high water absorption, low ductility and many other mechanical performances” that are inherent with our current formulation of cement. Thus, the abundance of nanotechnology uses is truly unknown. As we join many others in this growing field, Nanowerk uses..

Whenever two surfaces come into contact, the individual components undergo significant “contact stresses, increased friction and wear on components.” Hard coatings like titanium carbide or galvanized zinc are often used to prevent this wear and tear that diminish a component’s lifetime.  These types of surface coatings, however, incompletely treat the areas on question and do not offer strong enough wear resistance and are without enough anti-corrosive properties. As a result, these hard coatings can often make steel components more susceptible to wearing. Soft film lubricants (usually those that are PTFE-based or WS2-based) are effective in direct application. Most current soft..

  News & Star, a UK-based newspaper, relays a great little article about proper bicycle maintenance. Although proper bike apparel and accessories usually dominate the winter exercise discussion, this article touches on how to properly winterize a bicycle. Anyone who is considering using their bike during the oncoming months should heed this advice: lubricate and clean your bike chain and any other part of the bike where metal meets metal. The Torontoist shares an article by Steve Kupferman, who calls snowy Toronto streets “a polar Dead Sea, wet and salty enough to turn even the most dependable ride into a..
