increased enjoyment) of indoor riding, the Indoor Collection from SILCA has been developed with input from pro athletes, mechanics, our customers, and of course, our own experiences.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Challenges:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor cycling creates more of a corrosion and equipment risk to your bicycle than outdoor riding, even wet outdoor riding \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum components are just as affected by sweat and corrosion as steel ones, and for some thin walled parts such as handlebars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard to replace components such as headsets and bottom brackets can be completely ruined in as little as 100 hours of sweaty indoor riding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpensive smart trainers and grade simulators contain sensitive electronics, motors and bearings which can be damaged or destroyed by prolonged contact with sweat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor riding can be as much as 2x more likely to result in chafing, hotspots or saddle sores\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor riding sees more hand pressure and related hand and wrist pain due to riders changing position less frequently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solutions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweat and corrosion:  SILCA Hirobel Gear Wipes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGear wipes contain 5 different alcohols, each with targeted cleaning power to completely remove sweat, drink mix, lubricants, dirt and more from your bike, smart trainer, and accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipes use only cosmetic grade ingredients, are approved for skin contact and leave NO residue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Canister of wipes contains 110 large wipes, each with enough cleaning power to clean your entire indoor setup after even the sweatiest workout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChafing, Hotspots, Saddle Sores: SILCA Harsh Conditions Chamois Cream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreated especially for us by the brilliant minds at Mad Alchemy specifically for wet and indoor conditions!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspired by one of our ProTour friends doing Zwift\/Wahoo events after he commented that a 2 hour Zwift race was harder on his undercarriage than the Tour of Flanders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders move less in the saddle indoors and the chamois tends to be significantly wetter leading to conditions for more rapid skin breakdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped for maximum staying power and lubrication with the highest levels of Tea Tree and Eucalyptus oils which are anti-bacterial and anti-fungal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHas nearly the staying power of a wax based cream with the ease of washing from skin and clothing of water based cream: leaves NO residue

developed for the harshest outdoor riding conditions, NASTRO retains 90% of it's dry grip when wet: no more slippery bars!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial foam developed for 2 hour marathon running shoes has very low damping to provide both excellent cushioning AND excellent support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 2x more cushioning than tapes of similar thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNASTRO is extremely hydrophobic, SILCAthane TPU layer of tape is completely non-porous so that it will not absorb or hold sweat, this reduces corrosion risk of handlebars and brake levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncredibly dense polymer structure of SILCAthane TPU resists bacteria and fungal growth while remaining exceptionally quick and easy to
