Muc-Off 1105US E-Bike Wet Chain Lube, 50 Millilitres - Premium Electric Bike Chain Lubricant With UV Tracer Dye - Formulated For Wet Weather Conditions

Product Information

Its also a good way of ensuring any contaminants likely to be detrimental to the longevity of components are removed. The chain will then be thickly coated, and you need to wait roughly a day for it to dry out before riding.

PREMIUM LUBRICATION: Muc-Off eBike Wet Chain Lube is a premium formula that creates a ceramic coating for unparalleled lubrication. You need to apply one layer to the chain – pedalling forwards with the back wheel off the ground – wait five minutes for it to soak in, then apply another layer. I don't have any data, but I'd guess that frequently cleaning MTB chains is a must, in which case paying extra for a lube with more longevity may not make sense. Tungsten as a friction modifier is superior to Ceramics, Teflon and PTFE, making it super fast while also significantly reducing wear. This is because every single particle of dirt or dust will stick to the grease and be absorbed into what becomes an instant pudding of grinding paste.Muc-Off Bike Dry Chain Lube is a premium formula that creates a ceramic coating for unparalleled lubrication.

To each his own for sure but without going into the many valid reasons why there is actually a reason why bicycle lube is different from motorbike lube. Even if Squirt and Synergetic were equally-matched in the Cost To Run stakes, the need to remember to lube the day before a ride, the messiness of application and the wax build-up over time make me err strongly towards a lube like Synergetic instead for off-road use.The benefits of waxing your chain are many – best-possible reduction in friction, cleanliness, and the resulting lower maintenance costs. 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. A unique blend of extreme pressure additives ensures the lube can stand up to even the most powerful e-bike drivetrains. It is formulated to reduce friction and wear on all chains so that it can be used in any environment. 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.

The lube dries clear, and on the first spin of the cranks will quickly dislodge in areas where it built up, leaving a bit of a mess. 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.Wet Conditions: We advise to apply after every ride since this will enhance the lifetime of your chain and cassette. To be fair this is standard for all bike lubes, as the grease that comes on a new chain can often be the worst-possible kind of lubricant and if left on will greatly accelerate chain wear. Bicycle cleaning and lubrication products are the lifeblood of bike maintenance, ensuring smooth rides and prolonging component life. I can’t tell any difference between the two in performance, however the e-bike lube tends to form a thicker layer and a few times I’ve found big blobs of it stuck to a chainring.
