Regina Unveils HPE, a New-Generation Chain That Eliminates Regular Lubrication

Is oiling the chain really that much of a hassle? Doesn't quite click for me as a beginner.

As someone who's panicked running out of chain grease mid-tour, this is a quietly welcome bit of news.

Being limited to steel sprockets is a quietly significant catch — so people running aluminum ones are excluded.

Saves the oil cost and hassle, but it'll come down to how much the chain itself ends up costing more.

Just the name HPE doesn't tell you actual service life — need the spec numbers to judge.

An oil-free chain — feels like Regina's really bringing their A-game, nice.
