FAQ

We have a full article diving deep into this answer but the short answer is based on your riding conditions:

Speed Blend Dry Conditions Chain Lube - ideal for dry and dusty conditions where it is important to avoid dust sticking to your chain and causing excess friction.

Speed Blend All Conditions Chain Lube - best for mixed conditions where you are more likely to have tacky dirt, may encounter a bit of mud or water, or for road riding where reduced friction is prioritized.

Power Drive High Torque Chain Lube - Specially formulated for situations where your chain will be experiencing extreme torque such as race day efforts or for eBikes and eMotos rides. This lube provides the ultimate in friction reduction and resists being displaced by torque forces. Plus, it works as an electrical contact conditioner.

For our dry conditions lube, we recommend allowing the lube time to deeply penetrate into the rollers of your chain, then allow 60+ minutes for the lube to fully dry, then wipe away the excess.

For our All Conditions and Power Drive lubes, you use a similar procedure, but you only need to wait 5-10 minutes for the lube to penetrate into the rollers and then wipe away.

Speed Blend Dry Conditions Chain Lube - ideal for dry and dusty conditions where it is important to avoid dust sticking to your chain and causing excess friction.

Speed Blend All Conditions Chain Lube - this is a wet lube best for mixed conditions where you are more likely to have tacky dirt, may encounter a bit of mud or water, or for road riding where reduced friction is prioritized.

Power Drive High Torque Chain Lube - a wet lube that is specially formulated for situations where your chain will be experiencing extreme torque such as race day efforts or for eBikes and eMotos rides. This lube provides the ultimate in friction reduction and resists being displaced by torque forces. Plus, it works as an electrical contact conditioner.

You can find a deep-dive article in our blog. Below is a quick reference guide:

When properly applied, our lubes will last 200+ miles between applications (depending on weather and riding conditions). Chain lubes will last longest in dry scenarios while wet and muddy conditions will reduce lubrication longevity.

Dry Conditions Lube will need to be reapplied somewhat more frequently but has the best ratio of friction reduction vs dirt resistance vs longevity.

Our All Conditions and Power Drive Lubes have different formulation and are more viscous (thick) and provide a longer interval between applications but more prone to dirt adhesion. As such, you may need to clean your chain and re-lube.

For best results, we recommend using Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner to fully clean your chain before re-lubricating.

Most definitely! In fact, we recommend it for race day efforts where ultimate friction reduction is prioritized and where you are going to be cranking out the watts. We highly recommend fully wiping away any excess lube to reduce any dirt adhesion.

Our bike lubes are not formulated for the conditions and forces that a motorcycle chain endures. However, our Power Drive Chain Lube works well for light-duty eMotos (like Surrons and Talarias).

EBike drivetrains experience higher torque and load forces than a standard road or mountain bike while still using much, if not all, of the same components that aren’t necessarily optimized for the higher torque numbers. As such, we developed our chain lube to provide the most friction protection while adhering strongly to your chain and rollers, and not getting displaced from these extra high forces.

For our Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner, thoroughly shake the can, apply to a dirty chain or drivetrain, and allow 5-10 minutes to break up the grease. We’ve formulated to leave a protective hydrophobic coating that allows you to rinse away the gunk while protecting your drivetrain from corrosion.

Certainly! We have tested our Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner on a wide range of chains from bikes to eBikes and eMotos to full on motorcycles. Not only does it get all these chains immaculately clean, but it is also safe on o-rings, z-rings, and x-rings.

We recommend spraying the bristles of the brush with Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner, giving it a few minutes to break down the grease and grime, and then rinsing it thoroughly with water.

For our Ultra Premium Microfiber Cloth, just throw it in your washer and dryer to get back that clean and soft experience. We have confirmed them to last in 300+ washes and counting. We recommend washing it with other dirty rags or towels so as to not soil your clothes and don’t use detergents with any scents or use dryer sheets.

Thixotropic means a fluid or gel's viscosity decreases when stress is applied, like when stirred or sprayed. Thixotropic materials can change from a gel-like state to a liquid-like state when force is applied and will return to a more solid state when the force is removed.

For our degreasers this means that they are more gel-like when no force is present and more liquid when experiencing a force.

How does this benefit you and your bike? Our washes and degreasers stay where you spray them instead of quickly running off your bike and puddling on the ground.

Inside the can, the degreaser is more gel-like. As you spray it becomes more liquid allowing it to penetrate deeply into your chain. Once applied, it gels up and allows our Grease Release Technology the time needed to break up the bonds of grease and grime to be rinsed away. This means you get better cleaning with less waste and less effort.
