      The literal "WD-40" itself, or for Muc-Off users like me, MO 94, is great for suspension.

      Do not make the mistake of putting actual chain lube on your suspension.

      What about the chain cleaners and degreasers that say they are also lubricants? Can they actually work? I've tried a couple of them and liked them. They don't last long as a lubricant but are easy to use and seem to clean well.

    great video, seriously you guys are awesome. I've always been mechanically inclined (maintenance electrician by trade, car junkie since forever) but when i got back into mountain biking i needed a resource for bike specific maintenance. You and your team produce excellent videos and very informative, I find working on my bike super easy (which is part of why i love doing the maintenance myself) but i still need a resource to lean on for specific information and you guys are bar none the best on the internet!

      @@floatingchimney - Jose, you old rocket-scientist! You are indeed correct when you say that WD-40 (assuming you are referring to WD-40 Multi-Use Product) is NOT a degreaser. However, Stacey Fletcher said the kid sprayed wd-40 degreaser on his chain. I'm assuming Stacey meant WD-40 Specialist Industrial Strength Degreaser, which IS a degreaser! After which he may have sprayed his chain with WD-40 Bike All-Conditions Lube...which actually is a light lubricant!
      Referring to a WD-40 product (products from the WD-40 Company based in San Diego, CA, USA) without designating the specific product is a bit like saying "I ate McDonald's".

      When we say WD-40 we mean WD-40 and exactly WD-40. You're obviously wrong as "WD-40" alone is a product in itself.
      Like the one here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40
      What you are referring to is a legal entity called "WD-40 Company" - notice the "company" addition. As it is registered like that.
      "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40_Company
      You obviously aren't too well educated yourself.
      WD-40 is a stand-alone product , without any other additions to its name.

      If you've a steel Dutch style bike (or just something really old) with SA hub gears, or single speed freewheel, & an enclosed chain you use round town, that'd actually be fine apart from some general purpose grease for the occasional repack of cup & cone hubs, headset, or BB. Not needing anything specialised is part of the attraction of such "transport" cycles.

    One comment about lubing the chain, I was taught a long time ago that the best way to lube your chain, was to do it after you got done riding, lube the chain really well then leave it, and before you go riding next time just take a rag to it, to clean off the excess. The lube has plenty of time to work its way into the rollers that way.

    Best spray lubricant is CRC silicone. 100% pure silicone lubricant no petroleum distillates. It's about five bucks and can works on every single pivot point and moving part on a bicycle. it also is incredibly useful for keeping rubber parts from drying out and can be a short-term water-resistant application on your clothing and shoes. 👍

    it would be great if you guys were allowed by your sponsors to provide in depth similar products guidance . bike tagged products are expensive, and most have similar. bike world didn't invented those suplies. it would be good to let people know float fluid is synthetic gear oil (much thicker than silicon btw), also make people aware that generic grease is calcium or lithium based NLG-2 grease and they have differences. there are premium grease that stays there for longer, are more stable under bearings load or better water resistant, but any calcium based nlg2 will be pretty water resistant. suspension grease is just NLG1 grease (thinner). this was a good what is what video but I'm pretty sure your audience deserves a second more in depth grease video. grease is a science by itself and nobody better than Doddy to make it.

    What sort of grease /lube should you use on a dropper seatpost

  • @biemleichel1648
    @biemleichel1648 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Well, surely you could use all of these greases, but you do NOT NEED to. Here's my basis list;
    -wd40; works great for a lot things. Quick lube on the grocery getter, to spraying outer cables. I spray a bit on my forks as well, to keep everything protected (and the seals wet as well). Works great for frame shine as well.
    -Dry-lube; I use a can of Morgan Blue extra dry lube. Doesn't stick at all, every 2/3 rides I lube up my chain. The can lasts about a year. I use it all year round.
    -Grease; I use marine grease, since it's extremely water repelend, and thick as well.
    -Some sort of anti-seize. I don't have a carbon bike, so just some Loctite will do.
    (-If you are going to heavily service your bike (forks, brake grease) you will want to get the right lube/grease. But not necessary.)
    And that's all.
    This can get you through winter, no need for any special greases at all, though if you can, some little investments won't hurt. But with this list, you can get very far.
    Cool video though, and helpful.

      GMBN Tech Wow, that sure is a quick reply guys. I totally agree to that, I wanted to say that this video isn't a must-have, but more of a whats what video indeed.
      Thanks for the reply, keep up the good work. I'm ordering a GMBN mudguard for this winter season soon.

      Andrew Dodd Ha, Doddy. Thanks for your reply. You're right there, you did say that there are the basics. I got it now though:-)
      I really liked these replies and this conversation, didn't expect it. Keep up the good work, and have a nice day.

      Biem Leichel got a question... Can I use dry lube to apply a bit on the suspension forks in order to cycle them a bit and get dirt from out of the seals? I have done it a couple of times and works well but wanna know if it's ok... Thanks!

    My dad sells Shell Oil and Greases so I look like I’m sponsored by shell haha, I use his food safe grease for greasing threads and seat rails

  • @laxwarrior737

    Another great spot to use thread lock is on the screws holding cleats into your shoes. This is of course assuming you've verified optimal cleat placement.

  • @DJAnthologic

    I appreciate that the investment will save money and grief in the long run, but how much would all of these de-greasers, cleaners, thread lock and various grease compounds end up costing? Does anyone offer an inexpensive all round bicycle maintenance kit at budget price? Or best to just bite the built and buy all the items separately to keep us running smooth?

    • @Br3ndo1891
      @Br3ndo1891 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just buy things here and there as you need them and build up a collection over time. You only use small amounts of each so you won't be buying them frequently. IMO you want WD-40 or similar, chain lube, grease and some silicone spray to get started.

    • @gmbntech

      That's going to depend on the wheels that you're using and the bearings that you have. Let us know and we'll let you know what we think.
