Peaty's LinkLube All-Weather Chain Lube is a minty fresh, triple-distilled, ultra-high-speed chain...Peaty's LinkLube All-Weather Chain Lube is a minty fresh, triple-distilled, ultra-high-speed chain oil designed for use in all conditions. Its unique two-part formula features a clear base lube that penetrates deep to displace moisture and grit, combined with a secret sauce of oils and waxes that lubricate and protect. As you ride, the formula works to clean your chain, driving out grime from deep within the rollers. When first applied to a used chain, you may notice it turning black; this indicates the lube is effectively pushing out hidden contaminants. Simply continue to degrease and re-apply for a truly clean drivetrain. This 60ml bottle provides long-lasting protection in wet conditions while remaining clean in dry and dusty environments. To apply, shake the bottle well to mix the ingredients, apply to a clean, degreased chain while cycling, and wipe away any excess. Perfect for reducing friction, vibration, and drivetrain noise.
Peaty's LinkLube All-Weather Chain Lube is designed for cyclists of all disciplines who need a versatile, long-lasting lubricant that excels in both wet and dry riding conditions. Its unique triple-distilled formula cleans the chain while it lubricates, effectively driving out grime and moisture from deep within the rollers. While it offers excellent performance and protection, new users should be aware that the lube may initially turn black as it actively displaces pre-existing contaminants from the chain links, requiring a few cycles of application and degreasing to achieve maximum cleanliness.

FAQs
Do I need to clean my chain before every application?
While not necessary for every single top-up, it is best to start with a clean chain for the first application. Periodic cleaning will ensure the active cleaning properties of the LinkLube work most effectively.
Is this safe for carbon fiber components?
Yes, Peaty's LinkLube is safe for use on all bicycle drivetrain materials, including metal and carbon components.
How often should I re-apply?
Re-apply based on riding conditions. In dry conditions, you can go longer between applications, whereas in wet or muddy conditions, you should re-apply after every significant ride.
Why does the bottle need shaking?
The lubricant uses a two-part formula that can separate over time. Shaking ensures the base lube and the active additives are properly mixed for optimal performance.
Can I use this on my bike's cables or pivots?
LinkLube is primarily formulated for chains. While it has lubricating properties, it is best to use specific grease for pivot points and derailleur bushings.
Troubleshooting
Chain turns black immediately after application
This is normal during the first use as the lubricant flushes out old grime. Continue to degrease and re-apply until the residue clears.
Lube is attracting too much dirt
You are likely applying too much. Ensure you wipe away all excess lubricant from the outside of the chain plates with a clean cloth after application.
Drivetrain still sounds noisy
Verify the chain was fully degreased before the first application. Re-apply to a clean chain and ensure proper penetration.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Cleans the chain while lubricating
Effective in a wide range of weather conditions
Significantly reduces drivetrain noise and friction
Easy to apply and wipe away excess
Pleasant scent compared to standard lubes
Cons
May initially turn the chain black as it lifts out old dirt
Requires proper degreasing of the chain for best results
60ml bottle size may require more frequent replacement for high-mileage riders
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Start with a completely clean and degreased chain. If the chain is old or dirty, use a dedicated chain cleaner to remove old wax or oil residues.
Application: Shake the bottle vigorously to ensure the two-part formula is thoroughly mixed. Rotate the cranks backward and apply a steady stream of lube to the inside of the chain links.
Seating: Continue cycling the chain for a few rotations to allow the lube to penetrate deep into the pins and rollers.
Final Step: Use a clean, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away the excess lube from the outside plates. This prevents the outside of the chain from becoming a magnet for dirt.
Maintenance: If the chain becomes black quickly after application, continue to degrease and re-apply until the lube stays clear, indicating that the hidden contaminants have been fully displaced.
