Ballistol Bike X Lube is an all-season chain lube for e-bikes and ordinary bikes, in a 200ml spray can for chains, cassettes and gears, and it doubles as a care oil for the rest of the bike. It is a wet-weather lube that repels water and protects against rust, so it suits UK riding for most of the year.
What it's for
- Chains, cassettes and gears on e-bikes and bikes
- Derailleur pivots and cable ends
- Protecting metal against rust, corrosion and tarnish, including from salt water
- Getting under moisture in tight spaces in wet and humid conditions
- Removing grease, tar, flash rust and resin
How to use
- Make sure the bike is clean and dry. Clean off dirt and old lube first, for example with Chain Cleaner.
- Shake the can well.
- Hold the can close and spray onto the lower run of the chain while turning the pedals backwards. Cover the cassette and gears evenly too.
- Leave it for a few minutes to creep into the rollers and small gaps. The lube needs to be inside the rollers, not on the plates.
- Wipe the outside of the chain with a clean, dry cloth. Excess lube attracts dirt.
- Reapply after wet or muddy rides, or if the chain starts to squeak.
Using it on an e-bike
Bike X Lube works on e-bike chains for everyday commuting and leisure riding. Switch the e-bike off before you start and turn the pedals by hand, never with the motor. Keep the spray off the motor housing, battery contacts, display, connectors and brake discs. If you ride a mid-drive e-bike hard, or the chain dries out quickly, E-Bike Chain Oil has extreme-pressure additives that hold the oil film under motor torque.
