Squirt’s E-Bike Chain Wax differs from their standard wax lube by having ‘specialized high-pressure friction modifiers’ in the recipe to deal with the increased torque/pressure that an e-bike adds to the chain. The Tweed Valley and the 100+ km of trails that stretch out from our front door have proven to become a meca for gravel, MTB and road cycling and our staff are out, rain or shine experiencing it all. And if you're not sure about which new bike you want, pick up the phone, drop us a message or come and ride with us. MTB rides in Africa mostly deal with dry, dusty conditions – perfect for a wax lube, where the dust simply won’t adhere, unlike oil lubes where it almost instantly turns into a grinding paste. I used it initially only on my gravel bike and I've used Finish Line wet lube on my mtbs for years but I decided to try Squirt on my eeb just to see how it goes.

I think the responses to this thread demonstrate that there's no one right answer, it depends entirely on what your prevailing riding conditions are. Riding consisted of daily city commuting, and long, long touring rides across the length and breadth of the Australian continent.To be fair this is standard for all bike lubes, as the grease that comes on a new chain can often be the worst-possible kind of lubricant and if left on will greatly accelerate chain wear. I’ve not had to clean my drivetrain either, whereas it took a fair bit of work and a lot of hot water to get things back to clean removing the Squirt wax. Bottles are oversized to ensure space for mixing the two complex compounds together when shaken before use.

eBike Chain Lube from Muc-Off has been formulated for the extra torque that comes from electric bikes. Designed for high torque E-bike drivetrains and long distances, a single application will last for ages. ZFC have yet to publish their findings of that lube and haven’t tested this Squirt e-bike wax either, so a head to head comparison in the rigid testing of their lab isn’t possible yet.Finish Line’s 1-Step Cleaner and Lubricant contains a powerful and effective cleaning agent which removes dirt and grime while lubricating and protecting your chain.

Higher torque loads put more strain on your eBike drivetrain, so we have formulated specific lubes to include our unique eBike lubricity additive pack that laugh in the face of the extra torque to withstand a beating from even the most powerful eBike drivetrains. But the traditional method of waxing – removing your chain and soaking it in a slow-cooker pot of molten wax, hanging to dry and then refitting – is a step too far for all but the most dedicated of frictionistas. One of our team will deliver your new bike, fully built, configured and tested, we will personally hand over your new bike, make adjustments if required and can also wait while you take a short test ride round the block.Formulated with our unique eBike-specific lubricity pack to handle the higher torque loads of an eBike drivetrain. The All Weather, Ceramic Wet and Dry Weather lubes have been developed to withstand the high torque lubes that are put through an eBike chain keeping your e-machine running smoother for longer. If you run a waxed chain and need a top-up lube for use during a long trip or holiday, I could see a place for Squirt in your regime. Our e-bike Lubes were developed to combat this with their unique blend of synthetic oils, a high level of bespoke additives and Boron Nitride which mean they will last longer and reduce friction across the drivetrain, even under the increased loads. The ebike additive pack is the name we gave to the extra high levels of ‘extreme pressure additives’ which we have added to our ebike lubes to decrease wear, even under the higher torque loads of an ebike drive system.
