Product Information
Full details
Motul EZ Lube is a versatile bicycle lubricant designed for cyclists seeking effective degreasing and long-lasting lubrication. Its high capillarity allows it to penetrate tight spaces, dissolving tough greases and oils on moving parts like pedals and cables. While it excels at lubrication and corrosion protection, users should remember to re-lubricate dried seals after steam washing for optimal performance.

FAQs
What types of bicycle parts can I use Motul EZ Lube on?
Motul EZ Lube is suitable for all moving parts and mechanical components, including pedals, cables, shifters, derailleurs, cranksets, bolts, and nuts.
Can I use Motul EZ Lube on my disc brakes?
No, Motul EZ Lube is not recommended for use on brake pads, rotors, or any components where friction is critical for braking performance. It is a lubricant and degreaser.
How often should I apply Motul EZ Lube?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Reapply after wet rides, aggressive cleaning, or when you notice reduced performance in moving parts. For general maintenance and protection, applying monthly or before extended storage is a good practice.
What does 'excellent capillarity' mean for my bicycle?
It means the lubricant has a high ability to flow into very small gaps and cracks, like inside cable housings or around small mechanical joints, ensuring comprehensive lubrication and cleaning.
Is this product safe for all types of bicycle materials?
Motul EZ Lube is designed for mechanical parts and moving components. While generally safe, avoid prolonged contact with painted surfaces or sensitive plastics where it could act as a solvent.
How does it protect against corrosion and humidity?
It forms a protective film on metal surfaces that acts as a barrier against moisture and corrosive elements, preventing rust and degradation, especially during storage or in humid conditions.
Does this product require any special handling?
No special handling is required beyond standard precautions for lubricants. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid contact with eyes. Ensure good ventilation when applying.
Troubleshooting
Lubricant not penetrating deep enough.
Ensure the area is clean and free of old, hardened grease. Shake the can vigorously before application. For very tight spaces, a second application might be beneficial after wiping away excess from the first.
Sticky shifting or braking after application.
Excess lubricant may be attracting dirt. Wipe away any excess thoroughly with a clean cloth. Avoid applying to brake levers or cables where they meet the brake calipers if it causes drag.
Visible rust spots appearing.
Ensure the protective film has been properly applied and maintained. For existing rust, a dedicated rust remover may be needed first, followed by EZ Lube application for future protection.
Dried seals are not performing well.
Re-apply lubricant directly to the seals after steam washing, as high-pressure water can displace lubricants from these areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Motul EZ Lube is ready to use directly from its recycled plastic bottle. Simply shake the bottle gently before use. Apply directly to the moving parts you wish to lubricate or protect. Its high capillarity means a little goes a long way, penetrating into tight spaces. It is compatible with all standard bicycle moving parts and mechanical components, excluding sensitive brake surfaces. After steam washing your bicycle, it is essential to re-lubricate any dried seals that may have been affected by the high-pressure water. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean any excess lubricant from the application area to prevent dust and dirt accumulation.
