This is CHA.cc's first Kickstarter project, but the team based in Barcelona and Palma brings serious product design chops. They've blown past their goal, which speaks volumes about market demand. Their transparent R&D process and partnership with a certified Formlabs production facility in Barcelona show they've done their homework.

CHA completely reimagines bike chain lubrication by ditching messy oils and liquids for a solid graphite formula that bonds to the chain without dripping, staining, or leaving residue. The ergonomic applicator is portable and satisfying to use, and the graphite-based dry lubrication principle is borrowed from aerospace and railway industries where it's been proven for over a century. You can actually see where it's been applied, so there's no guesswork involved.

This is where CHA really shines. They've developed a comprehensive "Green Plan" environmental impact assessment, manufacture locally in Barcelona using zero-waste 3D printing with a certified Formlabs partner, and the solid graphite formula eliminates the chemical runoff associated with traditional oil-based bike lubes. This is sustainability done right.

At just ~$19 (Early Bird) for a single CHA or ~$36 for a two-pack (Super Early Bird, 45% off), this is an easy impulse back for any cyclist. The graphite formula lasts longer than traditional liquid lubes, meaning fewer applications and less waste over time. For a product that keeps your chain running smoothly and your hands, clothes, and floors clean, the price point is a no-brainer.
