Good to know
Dirt doesn't stick to Squirt
Dirt will generally not stick to dry Squirt Chain Lube and the little bit that may, will eventually flake off with the lube.
When is the best time to lube my chain?
Applying Squirt Chain Lube after a ride is a good idea as the lube will be dry and ready for the next ride. When anticipating a ride in wet conditions, application the night before will ensure that the lube is completely dry the next day.
How Frequently must I lube my chain?
How often Squirt Chain Lube should be applied depends on the riding conditions. After a short while you will learn how long an application will last in your conditions. Of course, when you hear a dry chain noise, you should have applied already - so for the first few rides, whilst you learn about your conditions, it may be good idea to take a small sample bottle with you on your rides. Generally, every 4 hours on the MTB, and 6 hours on the road bike.
