Anyone using Squirt e-bike lube?

[Akelu]

Thinking about swapping from Muc-off dry lube, to Squirt e-bike lube (wax type).

Looking to get that smooooth feeling through the pedals.

Does anyone use it?

Whats your process for applying and keeping it good?

 

[Zimmerframe]

Yes. Love it.

Shake bottle. Remove lid. Put lid on seat so I don't wonder where the I put the lid.

Hold bike with one hand and dribble a thin line along chain between derailleur and chain ring.

Roll bike back 2 meters, roll bike forwards 2 meters. Repeat application.

Roll bike back 2 meters, roll bike forwards 2 meters. Repeat application.

Put lid back on.

If I can be bothered, lift up back wheel and cycle through the gears with walk mode running.

Done. 1 Bottle lasted me about a year, just opened a new one.

Everything seems to stay far cleaner than with the Muc off Lubes. I've been using it year round and really like it.

Mine's still sitting outside after my one handed bike cleaning ..

You've been using dry lube through winter..?
Not tried Squirt ..but Muc Off ceramic wet lube is very good ..

I use their ebike ceramic wet and dry lubes. I’m very impressed with how the wet lube stays on, in the worst conditions.

Yes, I use it and agree with Zimmerframe, it is very clean - and it doesn’t seem to attract ‘stuff’ that usually sticks to the chain & cassette with other lubes.
Gear changes are smooth and I apply it the day before going out.

Used it for years, including through the winter. Wipe down the chain after a ride and apply, takes 5 mins. Every 250 miles or so I degrease the chain. Drivetrain stays very clean and nice and quiet.

Do the jockey wheels and cassette still get clogged up with gunk from the trails with this lube?

 

[Jamze]

Squirt does build up on jockey wheels and chainrings, so I wipe those with a rag too now and again. But I find it keeps everything cleaner, doesn't attract crud like wet lubes.

Been running this for a while in our dusty summer conditions. Certainly "mutes" the cassette sounds when shifting which gives the impression things are well lubed. Doesn't attract much dust onto the chain and cassette but the jockey wheels certainly gather some sludge which needs to be pinched off with a rag or paper towel every now and again.

new eeb here as of last November. marketing hype and a review got me considering Squirt wax. purchased a bottle of the eeb stuff and am impressed. very clean, long lasting, does not attract dirt. i reckon it repels it, being a wax. i apply it only every once in a while and it's plenty. and it's very wet here in general, though late winter was unusually dry. great stuff.

Wow! I wonder what the magic ingredient is that makes it "E bike" chain lubricant. If only the marketing gurus knew they could make an even bigger killing.

 

[jbv]

wax.

I’ve used Fenwicks wet lube through this winter……. I drop lube each link starting and finishing at the power link then turn the crank a few times. Apply the day before a ride, seems ok, quiet drive train.

 

[Peaky Rider]

wax.

Surely E-wax

 

[urastus]

I tried it, but it doesn't seem to get inside the chain. I've been doing the hot wax bath thing for a while. The chain has had minimal stretch compared to when I was using a wet lube. It is also much less maintenance time - I clean (pour hot water over the chain) and wax every 100km.

Not sure my ears generate enough, but I'll give it a go.
