Find bike lubricants and grease for routine drivetrain care and compatible workshop jobs. Choose a product for the component you are working on, the conditions you ride in and the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
Match the product to the job
Chain lubricants, workshop grease and specialist assembly products serve different purposes. A chain lube is chosen for chain care, while bearings, threads and other interfaces may need a particular grease or assembly treatment. Check the specified product rather than assuming one lubricant can do every job.
What to look for in bike lubricants and grease
- Riding conditions: Compare the intended use of wet, dry and wax-based chain products with your usual conditions. Follow the preparation, application and drying or curing instructions for the product you choose.
- Component compatibility: Check the requirements for the exact component and materials involved. Grease, anti-seize and assembly pastes are not automatically interchangeable; some interfaces require a specific treatment or none at all.
- Your existing care routine: Check what cleaning or preparation is needed before changing products, especially when moving between oil-based and wax-based chain care. Follow the chain and lubricant makers’ guidance.
Prepare the bike with suitable bike cleaners and cleaning brushes where required. Keep lubricant away from brake pads, rotors and braking surfaces, and apply only where specified. Check the care instructions for belt drives and other specialist systems before using a chain-care product.
