STA-BIL SPORT Bike Chain Cleaner & Lubricant Explained

Every time you hop on your bike to go for a ride, you are putting the chain to the test. It’s the hardest-working mechanism of the bicycle. More importantly, the chain is actively exposing itself to elements that directly challenge its integrity. We’re talking about dirt, grit, and even moisture. All of these factors can negatively impact how well a bike chain moves through the sprocket and derailleurs. When gone unchecked for too long, each rotation feels much more labored than the first time you took the saddle.

The solution to improving bicycle performance lies in properly cleaning and lubricating the chain. For this reason, the STA-BIL SPORT line carefully crafted a cleaner and lubricant that is designed specifically for bicycle chains. The formula loosens dirt and grit from the chain’s surface, making it easy to wipe away. Once clean, STA-BIL Bike Chain Cleaner & Lubricant leaves a thin, protective layer to resists dirt and rust from accumulating. In essence, a clean bike chain is a happy bike chain. And this product takes it one step further by keeping the chain system lubricated for a silky ride.

Extending Bicycle Life With STA-BIL SPORT Bike Chain Cleaner & Lubricant

A clean chain that stays properly lubricated is the key to enjoying a healthy bike. It’s pretty easy to understand why. A bicycle’s drivetrain is what ultimately determines what your riding experience is like.

For instance, peddling is more difficult or there’s a loud grinding noise every time you complete a full rotation.

Keeping a bottle handy is a great idea, especially for casual riders who don’t want to spend too much time on maintenance. Even if you only apply the product once in awhile, you are doing more than you know to keep the drivetrain functioning at a high level. In fact, you prolong and preserve the stability of your bicycle with only one application.
