Squirt – “the holy grail” of bike lubes (not our words but
the words of industry folk and reviewers from around the
world.
The serious stuff: Squirt is a wax based, long lasting dry lube for use on bicycle chains. Developed in South Africa, this liquid lubricant has unique properties that make it ideal for use in all cycling conditions. It had been developed to give better lubrication, last longer and keep the chain cleaner over extreme distances for both MTB and road cycling. And, the big bonus -after the initial degreasing, never again. Squirt is an emulsion that is blended under special controlled conditions from a number of waxes. This process gives it a unique smooth texture that makes it very easy to apply. Due to Squirt’s composition, build-up due to dirt does not occur and no grinding paste will form. Continuous application can be done without having to clean the chain. Excess wax that gets expelled by the chain does not attract dirt, hardens slightly and falls off during riding. Cleaning with a dry brush is adequate. This lubricant also sticks to the chain longer and extends lubrication intervals.
How to Apply:
Start with a new chain or degrease thoroughly all the black grinding paste that was
your old lube (even best to degrease a new chain as they are greasy too).
Position upturned bottle near rear derailleur and spin pedals backwards applying a
continuous milky film for about 2 complete cycles along the inside of the chain. Wait a minute or two for it to soak into the chain linkages.
DO NOT WIPE OFF EXCESS.
Squirt is just wax and water and any excess wax will slough away (this is how it
works – dirt sticks to the wax and sloughs away).
NEVER DEGREASE AGAIN.
Simply reapply. and that is that.
