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

Wet lubes are designed for riding in wet or year-round conditions and, as such, generally contain greater quantities of higher viscosity synthetic oils, as well as additives such as PTFE.

For every chain lubricant listed here, starting with a properly cleaned chain is essential for optimum performance and for you to enjoy its performance benefits. Without lube, dirt and grime can build up on the chain, which can cause friction and wear out the parts faster. It is also more likely for your chain to skip if it is not lubricated regularly.According to ZFC, the difference between a good and bad lubricant can comfortably amount to five to ten watts at a 250-watt load. These losses increase in magnitude as the load increases, too. Conversely, when it was stinking wet last winter we found myself riding more between chain cleans simply because the drivetrain kept running so smoothly. We switched to regular wet lubes for a few rides as a comparison, and my drivetrain was noticeably graunchier. Squirt Chain Lube E-bike is really expensive for a lubricant, but it’s very effective, you need to use less of it less often, and it’s great for a smooth ride. This way the drivetrain is far more efficient and you gain extra life out of the whole system, along with no loss of power from the rider.

Ensure that all connections remain sealed by leaving the battery in its housing, but turn the ebike system off before washing it (and unplug it from the charger). On review, we found that our chain remained rust-free after our 'garden hose test' that we used to replicate wet weather. A ride in the rain followed and the chain again showed no signs of rust or stiff links. We also liked that, unlike some wet lubes, Green Oil didn't attract too much dirt and grime that can really wear the drivetrain. The right kind of chain lube won’t work well if you’re applying it incorrectly. Thankfully, it’s a pretty simple task, though it can be messy if you’re not careful. (Stay off white carpets while applying it.)

MBR’s take on it

Squirt E-Bike Chain Wax gives you some of the benefits of chain waxing without much faff. It’s quite messy and expensive though. If that sounds like too much hassle, a wet lube will help prevent corrosion between rides and provide lubrication in a wide range of conditions.
