FAQs
Can I use this grease on my bicycle chain?
While it can be used on some drivetrain parts, it is specifically optimized for bearings and may attract too much dirt if used as a general chain lubricant.
Is this grease compatible with ceramic bearings?
It is safe to use on most high-performance steel and stainless bearings; check your ceramic bearing manufacturer's manual for specific viscosity requirements.
How often should I re-grease my bearings?
This depends on riding conditions, but for dedicated road riders, an annual inspection and re-grease is standard practice.
Does this grease wash away in the rain?
No, it is specifically formulated to be water-repellent and will maintain its protective barrier in wet conditions.
Is the 50g tub enough for a full bike overhaul?
Yes, 50g is quite substantial and will last for many thorough overhauls if applied in the correct, thin amounts.
Troubleshooting
Grease feels thick or sticky
You likely applied too much; wipe away excess with a clean, lint-free cloth, leaving only a thin film.
Bearing noise persists after greasing
The bearing race might be pitted or damaged. Remove the grease, inspect the surface, and replace the bearings if wear is visible.
Grease is contaminated with black particles
This indicates old grease mixing with metal wear or dirt. Thoroughly degrease the component and apply a fresh, clean layer.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces mechanical friction
- Highly water-resistant
- Prevents rust and corrosion
- Trusted, industry-standard quality
Cons
- Higher cost than standard multipurpose grease
- Requires proper degreasing before application
- Slightly tacky consistency can attract dust if over-applied
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, always ensure that all surfaces are completely clean and free of old, contaminated grease before applying the Shimano Dura-Ace product. Use a professional-grade degreaser and a lint-free cloth to prepare the bearing races or threaded components. Apply the grease sparingly using a brush or a clean finger, ensuring full coverage of the bearing contact points. While this grease is highly compatible with most Shimano components, always verify that it is suitable for specific non-metal or specialized composite parts, as some rubber seals may require specific silicone-based lubricants. Store the 50g tub in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent contamination from dirt or grit.
