Riding your bike requires regular maintenance. Especially if you ride it in inclement weather. One of the easiest ways to take care of your bike and keep it running well is to lubricate it.
There are many different types of lubricant designed for different uses. We recommend purchasing our cycling-specific lubes because they're perfectly formulated for your two-wheeler. This matters because the typical all-around lubes sold at hardware stores are often too thick or too thin to lubricate your bike properly. And, they'll usually leave an oily residue that can make a mess of your machine and clothing. Also, some products will attack the seals on bike components damaging your equipment.
There are many parts that need some lube. Check out our lubrication guide for more information on the hows and wheres of the art of lube.
