Yes, its all-weather performance makes it suitable for mountain biking in various conditions.
Can I use this on other bike parts?

Does the 'packaging colour may vary' note affect the product?

How do I clean my chain before applying the lube?
Use a degreaser and a chain cleaning tool or brush to remove old lube, dirt, and grime. Rinse thoroughly and allow the chain to dry completely before applying the Mint 365 Lube.
Troubleshooting
Chain still noisy after application
Ensure the chain was thoroughly cleaned before application and that excess lubricant was wiped away. Reapply a thin coat and ensure it penetrates the rollers. Check for any stiff links or damage.
Lubricant appears to wash off easily in rain
Allow the lubricant to fully penetrate and cure for at least 10-15 minutes before riding in wet conditions. Ensure an even application and wipe off excess, as this can sometimes affect adhesion.
Excessive dirt accumulation on the chain
This often indicates too much lubricant was applied, or excess was not wiped off. Clean the chain thoroughly and reapply a thinner layer, making sure to wipe off all excess from the outer plates.
