The Tweed Valley and the 100+ km of trails that stretch out from our front door have proven to become a meca for gravel, MTB and road cycling and our staff are out, rain or shine experiencing it all. Tungsten blended with our hi-tech water based All Weather Lube provides a silky-smooth and fast running ride like no other. The ebike additive pack is the name we gave to the extra high levels of ‘extreme pressure additives’ which we have added to our ebike lubes to decrease wear, even under the higher torque loads of an ebike drive system.

So as ever, I defer to Zero Friction Cycling for their detailed analysis of Squirt lube alongside other drips and waxes. On the other hand, a dry lube is suitable if you ride in dry conditions or if there is no risk of dirt getting on your chain. We can also deliver to BT Northern Ireland and IM Isle Of Man for an additional charge, for other non mainland locations please contact us for a quote.

We can introduce you to a limited number of finance providers and do not charge fees for our Consumer Credit services. I’ve not had to clean my drivetrain either, whereas it took a fair bit of work and a lot of hot water to get things back to clean removing the Squirt wax. After the first couple off applications the Tungsten smooths out the small imperfections in the metal surfaces of the chain, creating a rock hard protective and slippery layer.

This puts more strain through the chain and chain rings which will lead to higher friction from more metal to metal contact, which will lease to wear, if the correct lube isn’t used. Our eBike Wet Chain Lube is a premium formula that creates a ceramic coating for unparalleled lubrication. A minor alteration from our world renowned Tungsten All Weather Lube to cope with higher torque levels from E-Bikes.Its convenient spray-on applicator makes it easy to use, and this premium lubricant helps preserve and extend the life of your bike chain. It is formulated to reduce friction and wear on all chains so that it can be used in any environment.

As a minimum you should make sure that they're not heavily de-greasing (so they don't eat the grease from your drivetrain and bearings) and are pH neutral to maintain the paint finish on your bike.Higher torque loads put more strain on your eBike drivetrain, so we have formulated specific lubes to include our unique eBike lubricity additive pack that laugh in the face of the extra torque to withstand a beating from even the most powerful eBike drivetrains. eBike Chain Lube from Muc-Off has been formulated for the extra torque that comes from electric bikes. Cost To Run is the ultimate measure of a lubricant, as it factors in the wear rate (and thereby cost to replace your drivetrain components) versus the cost of the lube itself. Road cyclists tend to be the fussiest bunch when it comes to cleanliness but if riding on the road in the summer, you could go all season with little more than a bit of dust.

It offers increased levels of durability and wear resistance as well as excellent lubrication properties. Measuring chain wear on the MTB, there was a tiny fraction of a millimetre wear evident – only just detectable measuring the entire chain length, and not at all using a Park CC-3. Without lube, dirt and grime can build up on the chain, which can cause friction and wear out the parts faster. Otherwise, the mess, drying time and cost would suggest other options might be more cost-effective and practical.The benefits of waxing your chain are many – best-possible reduction in friction, cleanliness, and the resulting lower maintenance costs. There’s no way I or any other journalist can quantify the friction or wear reduction benefits of any lube in such a short distance, or indeed outside of a lab with replicable protocols. This specific lube protects your chain against wear, corrosion and friction thanks to its formulation based on extreme pressure additives. Start by applying the lube to one side of the chain and then carefully move along the length of the chain while wiping off excess lube with a cloth or rag.
