The Original Outbike

The Outbike team recommends wax-based lubricants for our rides due to the dry conditions. Wax-based lubricants, unlike most petroleum/oil based lubes, don’t attract dust and dirt. Water and mud is rarely a problem, but dust, dirt and sand does get lifted by wind and the tyres from the roads and tracks. It gets between your bikes moving parts and causes friction. You can already hear the squeaks I’m sure. Although wax based lubes do have to be applied more frequently as they brake down more easily (better for the environment) cost a little more, they will give you a quieter and smoother bike that will love you for longer. Need a brand name, ‘White Lighting’ is our recommendation.
