If I had a perfectly disciplined cleaning regime, but I don't, I'd probably lubricate with GT85, WD40. As the wax formula can clog the nozzle during application, when it restarts it spurts out – so you need to ensure you’re not pointing at your rims or disc rotors when you do this.

It forms a stable tribofilm, which is important to achieve improved tribological performance needed from an ebike specific lube. I have always used muc off dry weather chain lube even for winter riding, I also don’t ride in the wet sloshy mud.All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over, Guarantees may be required. Formulated with the Muc-Off unique eBike specific lubricity pack to handle the higher torque loads of an eBike drivetrain.

It’s also completely biodegradable with no nasty solvents, making it kind to you, the environment and your pride and joy. Start by applying the lube to one side of the chain and then carefully move along the length of the chain while wiping off excess lube with a cloth or rag.You need to apply one layer to the chain – pedalling forwards with the back wheel off the ground – wait five minutes for it to soak in, then apply another layer. It protects against rust and corrosion, which can eventually cause the chain to break down over time.
