FAQs
What does 'biobased' mean for this grease?
'Biobased' means the grease is primarily derived from renewable biological sources rather than petroleum. This makes it more environmentally sustainable and biodegradable.
Is this grease safe for my bike's rubber seals?
Yes, Stans Biobased Grease is specifically formulated to be safe on rubber, elastomers, and all moving parts of your bicycle without causing degradation or swelling.
Can I use this grease in all weather conditions?
Absolutely. Its performance range from -40°C to 120°C makes it suitable for extreme cold and heat, while its waterproof properties ensure reliability in wet conditions.
How often should I re-grease my bike components?
The frequency depends on riding conditions. For regular maintenance, check and reapply grease every 6-12 months or after heavy exposure to water, dust, or mud.
Where is Stans Biobased Grease made?
This product is made in Canada.
What parts of my bike can I use this grease on?
It's suitable for bearings (hubs, headsets, bottom brackets), bushings, wheels, headsets, and general assemblies. Avoid using it as a chain lubricant.
Is this grease suitable for suspension forks or shocks?
While it is safe on elastomers, always consult your suspension manufacturer's recommendations for specific lubricant types. This grease is generally not a substitute for specialized suspension oils or greases.
Troubleshooting
Grease appears too thick or thin.
This is normal across temperature ranges. The grease is formulated to maintain its protective qualities. Ensure it is applied evenly; viscosity changes are inherent to its wide temperature performance.
Reduced lubrication after prolonged use in wet conditions.
While waterproof, extreme or prolonged submersion may require reapplication. Clean components thoroughly and reapply fresh grease for optimal protection.
Difficulty spreading the grease.
Ensure the grease is at a moderate temperature. If stored in extreme cold, allow it to warm slightly before application. A small amount of light oil on your applicator can also help with initial spread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Stans Biobased Grease is ready to use directly from its 100g container. Apply a moderate amount to the components requiring lubrication. Use a brush, finger, or applicator to spread an even layer.
Compatibility:
This grease is explicitly designed to be safe for use on rubber, elastomers, and all standard bicycle moving parts, including metal and plastic components. It is compatible with most bicycle systems, including:
- Hubs
- Headsets
- Bottom Brackets
- Pedals
- Suspension components (where specified by manufacturer)
Care:
Store the grease in its original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent contamination and drying out. Clean any excess grease from components and tools with a clean cloth. While biodegradable, dispose of excess product and contaminated materials responsibly according to local guidelines.
