Product Information

Full details

The Oxford Mint All Weather Lube is for cyclists who ride in variable and wet conditions. Its key benefit is providing long-lasting chain protection and lubrication, even in inclement weather, while its one caveat is that it's specifically formulated for wet conditions, potentially being heavier than dry lubes. This product ensures your bike's drivetrain performs optimally by offering exceptional anti-fling properties, enhanced corrosion protection, and a clean, minty scent, all thanks to its unique formulation with selected oils and PTFE.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this lube suitable for dry conditions?

This lube is specifically formulated for wet weather. While its PTFE content offers some protection in dry conditions, it may attract more dust than a dedicated dry lube. For best results, use it in wet or mixed conditions.

How often should I apply the lube?

Application frequency depends on riding conditions. In wet or muddy conditions, reapply after every long ride or when you hear noise. In drier conditions, you might get away with reapplying every few rides, ensuring to wipe off excess.

Does the minty scent last?

The minty scent is present during application. It is not designed to be a long-lasting fragrance on the bike.

Can I use this on a new chain?

Yes, you can use this lube on a new chain. It's recommended to clean off any factory grease first for optimal performance and adhesion.

Is the product tested on animals?

No, the product information states it is not tested on animals.

What is PTFE and why is it in the lube?

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer known for its low friction properties. It helps to fill the gaps between moving parts, reduce wear, and improve lubrication, especially under pressure.

How do I clean the chain before applying the lube?

Use a degreaser and a chain cleaning tool or brush to remove old lubricant and grime. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a rag or allow to air dry before applying the Oxford Mint All Weather Lube.

Troubleshooting

Chain still noisy after application

Ensure the chain was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Reapply, allowing more time for penetration, and wipe off excess thoroughly. Check for any obvious obstructions or damage to the chain.

Excessive lube on frame or clothing

You may have applied too much lubricant. Ensure you wipe off all excess from the outside of the chain thoroughly after application.

Chain showing signs of rust

While the lube offers corrosion protection, heavily saturated conditions may require more frequent reapplication or a more intensive chain cleaning. Ensure all parts of the chain are coated and excess wiped.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent performance in wet conditions.
  • Long-lasting lubrication reduces reapplication frequency.
  • PTFE content provides superior friction reduction and wear protection.
  • Minimizes chain fling, keeping the drivetrain cleaner.
  • Offers robust protection against corrosion.

Cons

  • May be too heavy for use in very dry, dusty conditions.
  • The minty scent might not appeal to all users.
  • Requires proper application for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the bicycle chain is clean and completely dry before application. Apply a small amount of the Oxford Mint All Weather Lube to the rollers of the chain while slowly rotating the cranks backward. Allow the lubricant to penetrate for a few minutes. Wipe off any excess lubricant thoroughly with a clean rag to prevent attracting dirt and ensure the anti-fling properties work effectively.

Compatibility: This lubricant is suitable for all types of bicycle chains, including those on road bikes, mountain bikes, and hybrid cycles. It is designed to work well with various drivetrain components.

Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use. Periodically clean your chain to remove accumulated grime, which will help the lubricant perform at its best.
