Green Bike Cleaners & Lubricants

For muddy trail days, pick a wet-specific lube formulated to repel water and mud; wet lubes are made for mountain biking in those conditions. Pedro's Chainj and other enduro-style lubes offer extra durability on mixed off-road rides, while true wet lubes stick to the chain through sustained wet exposure.

For dusty rides, go with a low-viscosity, low-dirt-attraction dry lube that leaves minimal residue on the cassette and chainrings. Finish Line Dry Chain Lube and Pedro's X Dry-style formulas are designed for dusty trails and road commuting, helping reduce grit buildup between cleanings.

Degreasers are best for heavy grime on chains, cassettes, and gears after very dirty or muddy rides, while bike washes target general road grime, clay, and energy drink spills across frames and components. Finish Line Super Bike Wash in a 1-liter spray is great for quick, biodegradable cleaning, and a degreaser will break down stubborn drivetrain gunk before relubing.

Yes, eco-safe washes like Super Bike Wash are formulated to be readily biodegradable and suitable for indoor or garage use without aggressive solvents. They often clean frames and components with little to no scrubbing, making them a good choice for regular maintenance and winter storage prep.

Brake systems require the fluid type specified by the brake manufacturer because DOT and mineral oils are not interchangeable—use the fluid listed for your calipers or master cylinder. If you’re unsure, check your brake maker’s documentation for DOT versus mineral compatibility and follow that recommendation when topping off or bleeding the system.
