Product Information

Because highly refined paraffin wax contains practically no oil, waxed chains are prone to rusting after wet rides. You’ll have to be prepared to dry, clean and re-wax the chain, or top it up with a wax-based drip lube, as soon as possible after riding. As for Green Oil's claims of over 200 miles or 124 miles between applications, we found that after 100 miles of riding our chain was still running smoothly. Squirt's Chain Lube is a wax and water-based lubricant that is noticeably drier and cleaner than most oil-based options. Ideally, it should be applied to a sparkling clean chain and then left for a while to penetrate fully before use, so no last-minute applications before diving out the door on a Sunday morning. If you're an ebike enthusiast, you know that the best ebike chain lube is essential for keeping your bike running smoothly. From improving the lifespan of your chain to increasing its performance, using the right lube can make all the difference. Now onto cleaning: hold a rag behind the chain while you spray it with degreaser or alcohol, then run the chain through the rag. Let it dry before breaking out the lube.

It’s also going to attract every bit of grit, dirt and grime you come across and will be a nightmare to clean off properly afterwards. Most lubes contain synthetic oils, along with friction-reducing additives such as PTFE (Teflon) and carrier fluids that evaporate after application.After a wet ride ideally try to clean your chain and remove as much contamination as you can. Start by wiping down the outside, then you can use a spray degreaser to keep the chain on the bike, or remove it and essentially repeat the submersion bath in chain degreaser or white spirits etc until the liquid remains clear. You can refer to the ZF maintenance guide to help you here. What's the best way to apply drip lube?

Chain lubeis sometimes referred to as ‘chain oil’. Whilst lots of lubes can be oil or petrochemical based this is not always the case.

How to Use Chain Lube for Your eBike Absolutely! It is very important to clean and lube your chain regularly. Not only does it help make sure that your gears run smooth and efficiently, it also acts to protect your chain against premature wear, rust and corrosion! They generally don’t come cheap and will need to be re-waxed or topped up with wax lubricant after 300 to 400km of dry riding, but it certainly saves on the initial hassle of stripping factory grease from new chains at home. What about grease? However, for the habitually lazy or fair-weather cyclist, a dry lube is going to be the preferred option.

Thankfully, now technology has allowed for the development of wax lubricants in liquid form, making them as easy to apply as their oil-based counterparts. So, with wax-based lubes like Squirt, you get the best of both worlds. CeramicSpeed’s UFO Drip is clean on the chain, but can make the floor under it a little dirty.We generally do not advise too frequent deep-cleaning as it removes all embedded wax from inside the chain and a two-coat reapplication of the lube will be required as per the application instructions. However, cleaning should be handled on a case-by-case basis such as when you hear the chain grinding after a muddy ride, because this implies that excessive dirt entered the chain that needs to be washed out.

Electric bike motors and batteries are sealed units and, therefore, shouldn’t let in any water, but you should avoid washing any bicycle – electric or not – with a powerful jet wash because the power of the water could force its way through the bike’s numerous seals. The factory grease can be hard to completely remove from the inside of even a brand new chain. You need strong degreasers or solvents to get the job done properly, and you’ll be left with a fair amount of waste chemicals that you’ll need to dispose of carefully.Wipe-Off Excess Degreaser: Once the chain has been cleaned, use a cloth or rag to wipe off any excess degreaser or cleaner. Make sure all debris has been removed before applying the lube. If you ride in dry, dusty conditions, using a dry lube will help keep your chain cleaner but will need to be applied more often.
