Product Information
Full details
Motorex Wet Protect is a premium, fully synthetic chain lubricant engineered for cyclists who frequently ride in damp, muddy, or humid conditions. Its biodegradable formula is designed to offer deep penetration and long-lasting corrosion protection, making it an ideal choice for off-road riders and mountain bikers facing inclement weather; however, users must exercise extreme caution to prevent the lubricant from contacting braking surfaces, as it can severely compromise braking performance.

FAQs
Can I use this on a dry-weather ride?
While it works, Motorex Wet Protect is thicker and designed to resist moisture. It may attract more dust than a specialized dry lubricant in very arid conditions.
How often should I re-apply?
Re-apply after every long ride in wet conditions, or whenever the chain begins to make noise.
Is this safe for carbon fiber components?
Yes, the synthetic formula is safe for use on standard bicycle components, including carbon fiber, provided it is kept away from brake tracks.
What is the shelf life of the 5-litre container?
When stored in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed, it remains effective for several years.
Do I need to shake the container before use?
Yes, it is good practice to shake the lubricant to ensure the active ingredients are evenly distributed.
Troubleshooting
Lubricant is attracting excessive dirt and grit.
You likely applied too much. After applying, ensure you wipe off all excess lubricant from the outside of the chain links with a dry rag.
Drivetrain feels sluggish or sticky.
The chain may have been dirty before application. Fully degrease the drivetrain and re-apply a thinner coat.
Braking power has decreased.
Contamination has occurred. Immediately clean your brake rotors with isopropyl alcohol or a specific brake cleaner and replace the brake pads if they have absorbed the lubricant.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent resistance to washout in wet and muddy conditions
- Effective at preventing rust and corrosion on drivetrain components
- Biodegradable formula reduces environmental impact
- Penetrates deep into chain links for smooth shifting
Cons
- Requires careful application to avoid contact with brake discs or pads
- Thicker consistency may attract more dust in dry, sandy conditions compared to dry lubes
- Higher initial investment for the 5-litre bulk size
- Requires proper degreasing before initial application for best results
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these maintenance steps:
- Degrease: Before first use, thoroughly clean the chain and derailleurs with a dedicated bicycle degreaser to remove old lubricants and debris.
- Dry: Ensure the drivetrain is completely dry before applying Motorex Wet Protect to allow the lubricant to penetrate effectively.
- Application: Apply a thin, even layer to the inside of the chain rollers while rotating the cranks backwards.
- Wipe: Let the product set for a few minutes, then use a clean, lint-free cloth to remove any excess oil from the outside plates.
- Safety: Never apply near brake pads or rotors. If contact occurs, clean the braking surfaces immediately with a specialized brake cleaner to prevent loss of stopping power.
