Or a dusty track is planned? Bike7 recommends a chain oil suitable for all weather conditions. Simply and efficiently lubricate a bike chain, regardless of the weather, it works. Quickly discover how.
Why lubricate a bicycle chain?
Lubricating the chain of a bicycle, it's a task quite often skipped. Bad idea! A bike chain that isn't maintained wears out faster, creaks, squeaks and runs a lot stiffer. Not only the bike chain, but also the sprockets and cassette wear out faster. Result: frustrations and unforeseen costs. You can do better.
By regularly cleaning and lubricating the bike chain you extend the life of the (electric) bike, road bike, mountain bike or gravel bike. After all, the entire transmission remains in top condition. And the cyclist? They benefit from better performance and extra fun. Because a well maintained bike chain shifts better and gives less resistance. Nice!
What chain oil to use, considering the weather conditions?
Chain oil makes a bicycle chain run smoothly and extends the life of the road bike or mountain bike. At Bike7 you will find chain oils specially developed for wet or dry weather conditions.
In dry weather, you can count on Bike7 Lubricate dry. Thanks to its drier structure, this chain oil attracts less dust and dirt. A plus when cycling in dry and dusty conditions. When it rains, this type of oil does not last as long.
