Lubrication

From Bike Collectives Wiki

Lubrication also known as "lube" or "oil" is used on fast moving places on the bike. Some hubs will use oil instead of grease and chains, cassettes/freewheels, chainrings will also use some kind of lube.

Best Chain Lubes in Terms of Biodegradability

  • Pedro's CHAINj is a biodegradable and non-toxic lube made out of a rapeseed oil base.
  • Purple Extreme one of the best out of a few good ones. They also make a soy/citrus solvent that is stunning.
  • The worst was ProGold which is a chlorinated paraffin. Chlorine is not a good thing to bind with any product. Chlorine makes it last as a toxin for far too long.
