Cleaning & Lubrication


  • Squirt Chain Lube

    Squirt Chain Lube

    Squirt is a wax-based lube. When compared to oil-based lubes, it noticeably decreases friction, noise and lasts longer. As an added bonus, you don't even have to clean squirt off your chain - just apply more whenever you need it!  Squirt lube is one of our favourite chain lubricants. The alternative, which we prefer a bit more, is Smoove, which we sell here. Smoove is more expensive, but in our experience, it lasts longer and better reduces drivetrain noise.

  • WPL forkboost suspension lubricant - 120mL

    WPL forkboost suspension lubricant - 120mL

    Forkboost lubricates and cleans your suspension seals to eliminate stiction, remove dirt, and lengthen lifetime of the seal. Apply ForkBoost externally to the dust seals of your suspension (fork or shock) by lightly coating the stanchion, pumping the suspension, and wiping away the extracted dirt. We prefer to wipe away the residual forkboost afterwards as well, it stops it from attracting more dirt. Forkboost is compatible with rubber and does not induce seal swelling or cracking. But most importantly, it does an awesome job of keeping your suspension running smooth! :)  As with all WPL products Forkboost is non-toxic and eco-friendly

  • Smoove Chain Lube

    Smoove Chain Lube

    Smoove is our favourite chain lubricant. It is low friction, doesn't attract dust and lasts for ages. Smoove is self-cleansing, 100% biodegradable and solvent free. Smoove is a wax based lube and so the cleaner your chain is, the better is performs. If applied correctly, it lasts a long time. Other users quote getting up to 1000km on one application for road riding and 500km while mountain biking. This is certainly our own experience if we take care to apply it properly in the first place. Application procedure: The following procedure may seem a bit overkill but you only need to be so thorough once. The main factor which determines performance is how well you manage to remove oils on your chain. If you apply Smoove to a chain with normal lubes/oils/grease on it then you'll get average results. 1) Clean your chain rigorously. Use the strongest degreaser you can find - we put our chain in a glass jar full of petrol and shake it about for a while. Afterwards wash it off with hot water with detergent in it - especially if you use petrol, it leaves a film which needs to be removed. 2) Allow the chain the dry fully. Go for a quick pedal to get the initial moisture off and leave it outside for a while. 3) Apply Smoove to the inside of the chain while turning the pedals to ensure that the lube gets worked into the chain. Keep applying as a constant dribble until you see lube spanning/webbing the pins between every other link. This will likely feel like quite a bit of lube.4) Keep pedalling the chain backwards at least 30 times to ensure it's totally worked in. The goal here is to work the wax into the pin which is responsible for the majority of friction and wear in your chain. 5) Leave to dry for at least an hour. The best results are achieved when Smoove is applied the night before.6) Do not wipe your chain after application. Let it dry!  Next time you ride your drive-train should be quiet and feel fantastic. FAQ When should I re-apply Smoove?Don't reapply lube until your drive-train starts sounding 'dry'. When it sounds dry, apply lube over top again - and let it dry.  Do I have to clean my drive-train every time I apply Smoove?Nope. Only clean your drive-train when you think it needs a clean. Smoove doesn't attract dust so we get away with cleaning our chain very little over summer. We tend to clean our drive train after roughly 5 applications in dry riding conditions. Winter is a bit of a different story, but it is with every other lube too! Is there anything else I should keep in mind?Sometimes Smoove will accumulate on your chain ring, or jockey wheels, which can cause some chain suck. If you ever notice this use a flat headed screwdriver to remove the excess accumulated. My bottle jammed, what should I do?A downside of the great applicator of Smoove is that it can clog fairly easily. Easily fixed by inserting a paper-clip into the applicator :)

  • Premium mini Grease Gun

    Premium mini Grease Gun

    Grease is a critical part of bike maintenance, but many bicycle grease guns are pretty average. We've had a Finishline grease gun for several years and it regularly suffers from a loss of pressure as well as leaking grease out of the plunger handle. So after throwing an adult tantrum, we went down a rabbit hole to find an alternative. This grease gun is the culmination of that rabbit hole. It's stout, it's silvery and we think that it's sexy. But more importantly, it's precise, consistent and easy to operate with one hand. It's quite similar to the Park Tool GG-1 Grease Gun and the Motorex Grease Gun.  The only thing we don't like about this gun is that you're committed to one type of grease per gun. Though it's a worthy tradeoff in our opinion. Set it and forget it. Features: 80mL volume The nozzle shape allows direct injection into grease nipples directly Filling instructions: Unscrew the top of the grease gun to open the barrel Add grease to the barrel. As you do so, tamp it down to remove air pockets. Continue filling until the barrel is completely full. Screw the top back on and tighten it Using a screwdriver, gently push the plunger up from the bottom until you can't push it further very easily. Skip this step at your own peril Tighten the top fully Prime the gun by pumping the handle to draw grease through the nozzle. Point the nozzle somewhere that can get messy. Do this until grease is coming through the gun consistently Done! Here's a video of this if you are curious: Recommended grease:We recommend using Parktool PolyLube 1000 as your general purpose grease. Unfortunately we are unable to sell this product but you should be able to find it fairly easily and cheaply locally.
