Full details

The Stans Biobased Chain Lube Wet is designed for eco-conscious cyclists tackling moderate to wet conditions and long-distance rides. Its key benefit is providing smooth pedaling and durable protection that resists wash-off while remaining biodegradable.

FAQs

Is this lube suitable for dry, dusty conditions?

This specific formulation is optimized for wet conditions. For dry, dusty environments, a different type of lubricant, such as a dry lube, would be more appropriate to avoid attracting excessive dust.

How often should I reapply the lube?

Reapplication frequency depends on conditions. In dry weather, it may last for hundreds of miles. In wet or muddy conditions, reapply after each wet ride or when you notice increased chain noise.

Can I use this on my gears and derailleurs?

Yes, Stans Biobased Chain Lube Wet can be applied to bicycle chains, shifters, derailleurs, and cables for smooth operation.

What does 'biobased' mean?

'Biobased' means the product is made from materials derived from living organisms, such as plants. This lube uses natural ingredients and is USDA-certified biobased.

How do I clean the chain effectively after using this lube in the mud?

After a muddy ride, simply use a hose to rinse the chain and drivetrain. The Emulsifite™ Technology helps loosen and remove grime easily. Wipe dry and reapply lube.

Is this product safe for the environment?

Yes, the lube is biodegradable and non-toxic. Additionally, the bottle is made from 100% recycled sea plastic, making it an environmentally conscious choice.

What is Emulsifite™ Technology?

Emulsifite™ Technology is Stan's proprietary formula that helps the lubricant dynamically clean the chain by preventing dirt and grit from adhering, while also forming a protective film that resists wash-off.

Troubleshooting

Chain still noisy after application

Ensure the chain was thoroughly cleaned and dried before applying the lube. Wipe off all excess lube, as too much can attract dirt and reduce performance. Reapply and allow more time for penetration.

Lube seems to wash off quickly

While designed for wet conditions, extreme downpours or prolonged submersion might require re-application. Ensure you've allowed the lube to properly penetrate and set on the chain before riding.

Difficulty cleaning drivetrain after a wet ride

Make sure to use a sufficient amount of water when hosing down. If stubborn grime persists, a gentle brush may be needed before rinsing again.

Slight stickiness or drag

This can occur if too much excess lube was left on the chain. Wipe the chain thoroughly with a clean cloth to remove any buildup that might be attracting dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a wet chain lubricant designed for direct application to your bicycle chain. Ensure your chain is clean and dry before the initial application. Apply a moderate amount of lube to the rollers of the chain while slowly backpedaling. Allow the lube to penetrate for a few minutes, then wipe away any excess with a clean, dry cloth. For best results, apply before your ride or allow it to sit on the chain for at least an hour before riding.

Compatibility: Stans Biobased Chain Lube Wet is suitable for all types of bicycle chains, shifters, derailleurs, and cables. It is formulated for use in moderate to wet riding conditions. It is not intended for use as a general-purpose grease.

Care: After riding in wet or muddy conditions, simply hose down your drivetrain with water. The Emulsifite™ Technology helps grime release easily. Allow the chain to air dry or wipe it with a cloth. Re-apply lube as needed, especially after washing or after long rides in wet weather. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
