Squirt Clean Long Lasting Chain Lube 120ml

Product Information

When a chain is dirty, contamination is present in each chain link in the form of metal particles, dirt or sand etc. These contaminants are suspended within a chain lubricant, specifically the carrier the lubricant is held in, and essentially form a grinding paste which will just wear your chain out from the inside. Even the best road bike groupsets will be ruined in just a few thousand miles if chain wear is terminal. My obsession with having a clean drive train is a matter of record. I am forever cleaning chains in baths of degreaser, breaking down and cleaning cassettes to within an inch of their lives, and trying as many different chain lubes as I can lay my hands on.

Chain wax is more efficient, easier to maintain, and less likely to leave oily marks on your clothes and calves when cycling.Water from a wet ride will carry contaminants into your chain links and there they will stay, wearing your chain from the inside unless they are removed and contamination is reset. You should therefore try to avoid just re-lubricating your chain after a wet ride if you can help it. Give your front crank and rear mech a spray of degreaser, scrub them with the toothbrush, then wash them down with plenty of water.
