Product Information
Full details
The Oxford Mint Dry Weather Lube is designed for cyclists navigating dry and dusty conditions. Its key benefit is ensuring your bike's drivetrain runs silently and efficiently by repelling dirt and grime. A potential caveat is its specific formulation for dry weather, meaning it's not optimized for wet conditions. This 500ml lubricant features a special PTFE formulation to reduce friction, prevent dirt adherence, and provide long-lasting protection for your chain.

FAQs
Is this lube suitable for all types of weather?
No, this lubricant is specifically formulated for dry and dusty conditions. For wet or muddy weather, a different type of chain lubricant is recommended.
How often should I apply the Oxford Mint Dry Weather Lube?
Application frequency depends on riding conditions. In dry conditions, reapply every 100-150 km or when you start to hear noise. After riding through dust or in any moisture, clean and reapply.
What does PTFE do in the lubricant?
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a low-friction material that helps create a robust film on the chain, reducing wear and improving the lubricant's ability to repel dirt.
How do I clean my chain before applying the lube?
Use a degreaser and a chain cleaning tool or brush to remove old lubricant and grime. Rinse the chain and allow it to dry completely before applying the new lubricant.
Will this lube attract a lot of dirt?
The formulation is designed to repel dirt and grime. However, it's crucial to wipe off any excess lubricant after application, as excess can attract dirt.
What is the scent of this lube?
This lubricant has a clean, minty scent.
Is this product tested on animals?
No, this product is not tested on animals.
Troubleshooting
Chain is noisy or gritty.
Clean the chain thoroughly and reapply the lube, ensuring excess is wiped off. Check if the lube is suitable for current weather conditions; a wet weather lube may be needed.
Excessive lube fling onto the frame.
Ensure you have wiped off all excess lubricant after application. Apply a thinner coat next time.
Lube appears to wash off easily in light moisture.
This lubricant is formulated for dry conditions. For rides with potential moisture, switch to a dedicated wet weather chain lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your bike chain is clean and dry before application.

Compatibility:
