FENWICKSFenwicks All Conditions Chain Lube: 100ml & Disc Brake Cleaner Aerosol - Green, 200 mlFenwicks

Product Information

We’ve had Fenwicks ‘All conditions’ and ‘Wet conditions’ lubes on the go since early spring now, and they’re okay but not outstanding. It may sound like a gimmick, but we love that this lube contains UV dye that glows under the included UV flashlight light, so you can see if your chain is completely coated. It doesn’t attract much dirt if you use it correctly (don’t over apply and keep the chain wiped down). After every ride, give your chain a quick wipe down to dry it off and remove buildup, especially if it got wet during your ride. Alternatively, chain cleaners like the Park Tool Chain Gang kit often get it “clean enough” without having to remove it.

CERAMIC or NANO-PARTICLE: These lubricants contain tiny particles of ceramic and other microparticles in a wax or oil base, and claim to reduce friction even further.

Everyone i know who has tried Muc Off lubes has nothing but terrible things to report, myself included. A few times during the winter, I’ll give my chain a “quick clean” with WD40 and wipe off excess grit with a rag.

Basic soap and water cleans any gunk off without stripping the lube, so you just spray it clean and head back out for another ride. If your chain is looking or feeling gritty, or you’re starting to hear it squeak, that’s a good indicator that it’s time to clean and re-lube your chain.
