Lubrication
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.
