Squirt!

The latest addition to our vast selection of cycle lubes has just arrived and this one looks really good.

Squirt is a wax based dry lube that is also biodegradable. In fact its the only wax based lube on the market that has these green credentials so its far kinder than many others on the market.

But how good is it? Well we tested it on two mountain bikes and thrashed them round Bedgebury's Singletrack and over some of our favourite East Sussex off road routes. We were very impressed. In dry dusty gravelly conditions the lube stayed clean and kept everything running smoothly. Just what you want really. Squirt also claims to be the best wax lube on the market in wet conditions. So you can rest assured that this lube can be used pretty much year round.

Its also easy to look after. To clean the chain there is no need to degrease. Squirt claim all you need to do is brush the chain or clean it with a toothpick! Personally we're not sure about the whole toothpick thing but it does show that minimal maintenance is required to keep your drivetrain running smoothly.

Squirt has also been endorsed by some MTB heroes including hall of famer Ned Overend. These guys have used a vast number of products and they claim Squirt is the best lube available. So there.

If you fancy trying some head on over to our webpage. At £7.79 its one of the premium priced lubes in our range but for that you get potentially the finest dry lube on the market... so its certainly worth it! Click Here to buy Squirt on Bikegoo.
