But this can scratch components, or if you use an Allen key in your crank bolt it can get stuck in the bolt, or worse, damage your precious cranks! In contrast, the hybrid ridden on gravel roads is still on its first application 150km later, the chain looking clean and sounding silent but not dry. Tungsten blended with our hi-tech water based All Weather Lube provides a silky-smooth and fast running ride like no other.

The high torque loads on an e-bike will wear down the chain much quicker than on a normal bike due to the increased and instant surges in power from the motor. Without lube, dirt and grime can build up on the chain, which can cause friction and wear out the parts faster. If you run a waxed chain and need a top-up lube for use during a long trip or holiday, I could see a place for Squirt in your regime.Our eBike Wet Chain Lube is a premium formula that creates a ceramic coating for unparalleled lubrication. Our unique water repellent, non-fling formula penetrates deep into the chain link, to create a durable protective coating which guards against corrosion and metal to metal wear. 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. Our patent pending formulation is wax based, water resistant, completely dry and 100% biodegradable.

A proprietary ceramic formulation containing integral Boron Nitride compounds for low friction in wet and harsh conditions.I switched to regular wet lubes for a few rides as a comparison, and my drivetrain was noticeably graunchier. An advanced E-bike specific aerosol chain lube which penetrates deep into the links for effective corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, super low friction operation and premature wear resistance. Formulated with our unique eBike specific lubricity pack to handle the higher torque loads of an eBike drivetrain. For example, an ebike with a properly lubricated chain will be quieter than one that hasn’t been lubed up.

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. Doing this will prolong the life of your chain and other drivetrain components which can be costly to repair.

The chain will then be thickly coated, and you need to wait roughly a day for it to dry out before riding.
