Squirt Long Lasting Chain Lube

Squirt ® is what every cyclist wants: a long-lasting dry chain lube that does not gather dirt. The first successful biodegradable wax/water emulsion containing as much wax as needed to last for the duration of a marathon ride. It prolongs the life of your drivetrain by reducing friction while improving shifting and reducing irritating dry chain noise. No degreasing is required for repeat use. If needed, your chain can be cleaned with a clean, dry brush.

• Excellent for wet & dry conditions
• Stays clean
• Reduces chain noise & chainsuck
• For use on all bicycle chain types
• Available in 15ml, 120ml, 500ml
• Biodegradable, PFAS-free formula, Solvent-free

NEW! Squirt Long Lasting Chain Lube Eco-Refill Box

This 5-litre container filled with Squirt’s award-winning wax and water emulsion chain lubricant, is designed to allow individuals and workshops to refill their plastic Squirt applicator bottles; thereby reducing the amount of plastic waste. The Chain Lube Eco-Refill Box is available internationally in all good bike shops. Reuse, refill, repeat!

Why it works

Squirt is biodegradable and contains selected waxes performing different functions in a creamy emulsion. It runs at very low resistance (VeloNews, Hunting for Speed, pdf, Feb 2014): “Fastest drip lube we have ever tested”  When applied to the chain it dries, leaving a microfilm of wax that is dry and water repelling. It does not attract dust or debris and stays clean. Unlike oil-based lubricants, Squirt does not form a black paste that causes long term damage to a drivetrain. It stays clean in all conditions, ideal for road, TRI, gravel, XC, trail, enduro, commuting and cyclo-cross.

When Squirt is applied to a chain, it may sometimes look more viscous (thicker) than other times.  This is primarily because wax emulsions are temperature sensitive and a few degrees up or down can have a notable effect on viscosity.  Also, Squirt shares similar characteristics with non-Newtonian fluids and like ketchup, you have to shake them to get them more fluid.  The action of shaking the bottle together with the shear forces that the moving components in the chain has on the lube (while rotating the cranks backwards just after application) reduces the viscosity and ensures proper penetration into the chain.
