Editors Choice Squirt Long Lasting Chain Lube

• Wax-based formula
• Designed for all conditions and bike disciplines
• Available in mini 15ml, 120ml (pictured), 500ml workshop size or from bike shop eco refill packs

Squirt’s business was founded on its chain lube in 2003, which has since massively grown in popularity as one of the best biodegradable wax-based formulas. Hailing from South Africa, the Long Lasting Chain Lube is designed to last for the duration of a marathon race – tried and tested by many at the iconic Cape Epic Mountain Bike Race.

For everyday riders, this may mean chain lubrication for multiple rides without reapplication, which is certainly a bonus. Unlike typical chain oils, Squirt lube attracts much less dirt, even in wet conditions, so you just need to brush your chain before reapplying more of the wax-based lube.

If you can get your hands on some of the tiny 15ml bottles then do – these are excellent minis to stash in a frame bag or hip pack for mid-ride top-ups on longer rides such as ultras or multi-day epics when you don’t want to be weighed down by a bigger lube bottle.
