LinkLube All Weather

You'll see that when your bottle of LinkLube has been sat still for a while, it will settle with the clear base lube on top and a mystery blue secret sauce slowly falling to the bottom of the bottle. Fear not! This is an important feature which enables our lube to be used in all weather conditions.

The secret sauce is a unique compound of oils and waxes which are usually only found individually in either wet or dry lubes. With a lot of hard work in the lab, we’ve managed to blend them together into a single super lube which can provide incredible long-lasting protection in the wet, while remaining uncharacteristically clean in dry and dusty conditions.

The clear base lube is an anti-corrosive, fast penetrating, water displacing oil which - when shaken up with the secret sauce - will find its way into every nook and cranny of your chain. Once it reaches the inner depths of your chain links, the base oil will drive out moisture, grit and grime and leave behind the special sauce to reduce friction, reduce vibration and reduce drivetrain noise.

When LinkLube is first used on a used (but seemingly clean) drivetrain, the chain may go black pretty quick. Uh oh, don’t panic! This is actually the LinkLube pushing out grime that has been hiding away inside your rollers.

Simply keep degreasing and re-applying and, over a few rides, your chain will eventually run truly clean once again!

The basic requirements for a bicycle chain lubricant is for it to keep your chain quiet and smooth while also lasting a long time and keeping your drivetrain clean as possible. The best type of chain lubricant for a bicycle depends heavily on the weather and conditions you are riding in.

For dry and dusty conditions you need our LinkLube Dry chain lubricant which uses durable waxes for a long lasting smooth drivetrain. It also dries dry to the touch so that dust and dirt won’t stick to the chain.

For mixed and changeable (but not soaking wet) conditions our LinkLube All Weather uses a unique blend of waxes and greases to keep you rolling smooth in a wide variety of riding conditions. For even cleaner, longer-lasting performance try our LinkLube All Weather Premium.

For the wettest, filthiest riding conditions you need a chain lubricant which will not wash away at the first sight of a puddle. Our LinkLube Wet has a heavy dose of waxes and corrosion inhibitors to last even the longest, wettest day in the saddle.

The clear base lube is an anti-corrosive, fast penetrating, water displacing oil and the blue part is a compound of high grade greases, waxes and a tiny amount of PTFE. Once shaken together the clear penetrating oil will find its way into every nook and cranny of your chain and deliver the blue part right where it’s needed. Once it reaches the inner depths of your chain links, the base oil will drive out moisture, grit and grime and leave behind the special sauce to reduce friction, reduce vibration and reduce drivetrain noise. Magic!

1. Always fully degrease your drivetrain before applying fresh lube. For best results, use Peaty's Drivetrain Degreaser.
2. Ensure you thoroughly wash your chain with clean water after degreasing (degreaser is designed to eat chain oil after all)
3. Remove as much water as you can from the chain. For best results, use Peaty's PT17 General Maintenance Spray.
4. Give the bottle a good shake
5. Apply the lube while cycling the chain backwards (eBikes will need to be pedalled forwards in a stand) ensuring every link is adequately covered
6. Keep cycling the chain for 10 seconds or so to help the lube work its way into your chain
7. Thoroughly wipe away all excess lube from your chain using a clean cloth (excess oil on the outside of the chain will attract dust in dry conditions).
   
   

CAUTION
Do not get LinkLube (or any lube for that matter!) on your brakes or brake pads.

Yes, for All Weather and Wet lubricants, thoroughly wipe away all excess lube from your chain using a clean cloth. Excess oil on the outside of the chain will attract dust in dry conditions.

For dry lubricants you don’t need to wipe away any excess because dry lubricants remain dry to the touch so will not attract dust.

A good chain lubricant will reduce friction between chain and chainrings, improve shifting performance, reduce dirt build-up so make your drivetrain last longer, prevent corrosion, provide smoother, quieter, easier pedalling and either not wash away easily (if wet lubricant) or not attract dust or dirt (if dry lubricant)... In short, yes.

Our unique two-part All Weather formula penetrates and cleans deep inside your chain, driving out moisture, grit and grime and replacing them with a unique blend of oils and waxes. Yes, you read that correctly! LinkLube All Weather actually cleans your chain as you use it!

When LinkLube All Weather is first applied to a used (but seemingly clean) drivetrain, the chain may go black pretty quick. Uh oh, don’t panic! This is actually the LinkLube All Weather pushing out the grime that has been hiding away inside your rollers. Simply keep degreasing and re-applying and, over a few rides, your chain will eventually run truly clean once again!

Yes, we recommend using our Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser to thoroughly clean your chain before application. For new chains with stubborn factory grease we recommend using our XXX Solvent Degreaser.

For best results in very dry conditions we recommend Peaty’s LinkLube Dry.

For best results in wet conditions we recommend Peaty’s LinkLube Wet.

You don’t need to apply lubricant to your cassette.
