Lubricants & Grease

When shopping for lubricants and grease, the most important thing to consider is what part of your bike you are trying to maintain. Different products are designed for different jobs, and using the wrong one can actually cause more harm than good. Chain lube is applied to your drivetrain to keep it running freely and to repel dirt and water, while bike grease is better suited to bearings, threads, bolts, and press-fit components that need longer-lasting protection. If your chain and drivetrain are looking grimy, a degreaser should be your first step before applying any fresh lube. For general frame and component cleaning, an all-purpose bike cleaner is the safer choice, as degreasers should be kept away from cables and bearings. Choosing the right product for the right area will extend the life of your components and keep your ride feeling smooth.
