Squirt Chain Lube

Squirt Lube is the best known wax in the cycling world. When you use it your chain and cassette will get less dirty, and you'll shift smoothly and efficiently even in the worst conditions. That results in less wear over time, and your chain and sprockets can last up to 40% longer. Degreasing won't be necessary anymore, brushing the chain is enough.

Benefits of wax
Squirt Lube is not a bike chain oil but a bike chain wax. Due to the composition of the wax, the friction in the drivetrain of your bike is greatly reduced. Plus, wax attracts much less dirt than an oil does. This way, the drivetrain remains clean and the chain remains well lubricated even in the worst conditions. This makes Squirt Lube a good lubricant for both your road bike and your MTB.

First use
When you apply Squirt Lube for the first time you'll need a little more time than when using chain oil. For an optimal use of Squirt Lube, it's recommended that you degrease the chain and moving parts first, even if you're using a new chain. Then, let the drivetrain dry. When it is dry, apply 1 or 2 layers of Squirt Lube to the chain and let it dry well before taking your bike out for a ride. Degreasing after your ride is not necessary. After an extremely dirty ride, simply wipe the chain with a cloth drenched in Squirt Lube. By doing this you can extend the life of your chain and sprockets up to 40%.

Biodegradable
Squirt Lube is 100% environmentally friendly and biodegradable.

Squirt dry lube consists, among other things, of different types of wax and water suspended in an emulsion. After application, the liquid penetrates into the interior of the chain. The water evaporates slowly and the wax leaves a layer that repels water, sand and dirt (while oil even attracts dirt!), so your drivetrain will stay much cleaner.

Some dirt will accumulate on the jockey wheels, the front sprockets and the cassette cogs. This is a good sign; Squirt lube has removed the dirt from your chain! In contrast to other lubricants, it doesn't have an abrasive effect on your parts: it doesn't hurt if you don't remove the dirt, but you can also brush it off. After a while small lumps of wax will appear between the openings of the chain; this means there is enough wax-buildup. From that moment on, your drivetrain can handle hours of downpours, mud and sludge. And don't forget: never degrease your drivetrain again!

By using Squirt Lube, you'll improve the life of both the chain and the cassette. In addition, the chain makes less noise when shifting. Another advantage of using Squirt lube is that it stops dirt from sticking to the chain.

Excess wax on a mountain bike chain doesn't need to be removed; excess wax on a road bike chain does.

Do I never need to lubricate my chain again?
You don't have to lubricate your chain often with Squirt, but you should still apply a layer once in a while. If you ride in the rain, for example, we recommend applying a little extra to prevent rust. How often re-applying is advised depends on how often you ride in bad conditions, so it's a bit up to your own judgement.

I feel Squirt Lube is not lubricating my chain properly, what can I do?
The most common reason why Squirt does not work optimally is because the chain has not been properly degreased before applying Squirt for the first time. Make sure your chain is really dry and free of grease before applying Squirt so that it can stick properly to the chain.
