Plumbers grease is a type of grease that is used to lubricate pipes. It is made of a variety of different oils and can be found in most hardware stores. While plumbers grease can be used on bikes, it is not the best option. Plumbers grease is designed to stay on pipes and is not meant to be used on moving parts. This can cause your bike to malfunction.
Yes, you can use silicone grease on your bike. It is a great way to keep your chain lubricated and protected from dirt and grime.
If you're wondering if you can use Vaseline on your bike, the answer is yes! Vaseline can be used to help lubricate your bike chain and keep it running smoothly. Simply apply a small amount of Vaseline to a clean rag and wipe it onto your bike chain. You'll want to do this every few weeks to keep your bike in good condition.
No, you cannot use just any grease on bikes. Specialized greases are designed to withstand the extreme pressures and temperatures that are generated from pedaling. These greases also have additives that protect against water and corrosion.

Because I am currently working on a tub, I purchased Bel-Ray Waterproof Grease because it is running low. For many years, I have applied this grease on machinery and vehicles that might come into contact with water. It's a top-notch item. The tub is now a very dark blue colour, as you can see. Since the new tub is harder to see when placed on a shelf with other goods, I wish they had stuck with white.
4.8/5
Easy spray trigger penetrates deep into moving parts
Biodegradable, non-toxic formula safe for environment and mechanics
Powerful solvent easily removes grease and grime
Premium bio-based formula made with natural ingredients
For use on drivetrain parts with stubborn grease build up and contamination

This item fulfills its purpose. The squeeze handle is quite flimsy and frequently falls off, and the spraying directions were vague. The product functions admirably once you get beyond that. we thoroughly cleaned our bikes after a few weeks of not touching the chains. Changing gears was simple after use! Will maybe switch to a better spray container and use more frequently.

This material seems reliable. Even though I don't ride professionally and only occasionally, I can tell you that this is MUCH BETTER than the bearings that will likely come on any bike you purchase straight from the manufacturer.I used this along with some of the red "high temp" oil found in many automobile bearings to complete the "Pepsi" challenge. I thoroughly tested both, making sure to completely clear out all of the red grease before applying and testing this grease, and found that the wheels spun noticeably easier and longer with this oil than with the red grease.
4.6/5
Tube features tip that can be trimmed to desired opening and resulting flow/size of grease application

Although I don't think it's feasible to have grease that doesn't make a mess, this is the closest anything will ever get. I bought this to use on my brand-new mountain bike, and I wanted it to be clear for a few reasons: first, because my bike is white, so there won't be any unsightly smears of black or green grease; second, so that if (not when) I get grease on my clothes, there won't be an immediate, unpleasant stain. I've lubricated fastener threads and used this on bottom brackets and wheel bearings. Heck, I've even used it to grease the door latches on my Jeep and the pulleys on my garage doors, all with amazing success. The bottom line is that this is good stuff; it performs on par with Phil Wood grease in my opinion and doesn't separate like some greases do. My 1-pound tub is nearly empty, and I'll be getting more as soon as I need it.
4.5/5
Components stay cleaner, last longer, run quieter.
Extremely durable, outlasts all other chain lubes.
Lite BCL is less concentrated for easier application and optimum performance.
Recommend for road bikes.
To be applied sparingly unlike many other other lubes.

Rain is not a common concern for people who live in Northern California, especially over the previous four years. Dumonde Lite is the ideal chain lubricant for reasonably dry weather, whether or not there is a drought. Period. Here is my flawless application method, at the risk of coming off as a little OCD:[1] Thoroughly wash your chain. Not only do you need to get rid of all the dirt, but you also need to remove any old lubrication. Any time you switch out the lubrication, this is standard procedure.Apply one drop of Dumonde Lite on each pin [2].[3] After lubricating each pin, advance the chain for a few minutes. Use a large Amazon box to protect the ground because this will be dirty.[4] Remove 99% of the lube by running the chain backward on a clean shop towel.[5] Reapply lube while going through stages 2 and 3. I don't often use shampoo according to the rinse-repeat instructions, but in this case it really helps.[6] Remove "nearly all" of the lubrication by running the chain backward while wiping the surface clean. You want to leave a tiny lubricant trace when using the "finger" test.With the foundation described above, you may ride for more than 300 kilometers in dry weather. The chain will be quieter than your tires, as other reviews have pointed out. It's time to reapply when you hear the chain getting noisy. Now things get simpler:Run the chain backward and wipe off 99% of the grease and grime with a fresh shop towel.Apply one drop of Dumonde Lite to each pin (B).[C] After lubricating each pin, advance the chain for a few minutes. Use a large Amazon box to protect the ground because this will be dirty.[D] Run the chain backward on a clean shop towel to get rid of "nearly all" of the lube. You want to leave a tiny lubricant trace when using the "finger" test.Dumonde Lite results in longer chain life in addition to improved rides. A strong thumbs-up.

I've had no issues using Stan's over the years. But I just bought a set of Continental Race Kings on my 29er. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to get these to seal despite using all the tricks. Both of them kept bursting fresh leaks from the side walls. Every morning, both tires would be fully flat. They would both lose 10 to 12 psi in a matter of hours. After some time, I replaced the tires with some Michelins. I grabbed some Orange Seal on a whim and tried the Continentals once again. I can only say that it functions flawlessly. They only lose 2 to 3 psi over the course of roughly a week and there are no side wall leaks. All I have to say is highly advised.

As far as I know, lithium grease is lithium grease regardless of the manufacturer. In that regard, this product performs on par with other lithium greases. works incredibly well on metal-to-metal contact areas like those in car door hinges and garage doors.Those who are unfamiliar with lithium grease should be aware that it is intended to remain where it is sprayed and not evaporate. Once grease is applied, it will last for a very long period before deteriorating and eventually needing another application.Keep in mind that you should never use lithium grease in your garage door's roller channels. That channel ought to ideally continue to be as clear and debris-free as possible. Adding lithium oil will make your rollers track less smoothly since it will attract dust, grime, and insects and serve as flypaper for them. Apply lithium grease to your rollers' hinges and ball bearings (if not the sealed type). Do not overlook the middle hinges connecting your panels. To assist prevent corrosion and lessen the amount of debris that could collect there, put WD40 or another Water Displacement kind of lubricant on the tracks and clean with a cloth.Overall, this 10 oz. lithium can represents good value. Although I am unsure if the "Teflon" is improving the lithium base, I haven't noticed any negative affects either.
No, you cannot use automotive grease on bikes. Automotive grease is designed for high temperatures and will melt at the lower temperatures found in bike bearings. This can cause serious damage to your bike.
Marine grease is a type of grease that is designed to withstand high temperatures and extreme pressure. It is often used in boat engines and other marine applications. While it can be used on bikes, it is not the best choice for this purpose. Marine grease is too thick and will not penetrate into the small parts of the bike. This can lead to premature wear and even failure of the bike.
Yes, you can use Vaseline as grease. It's actually a pretty good grease, and it's also a good waterproofing agent.
If you're looking for a quick, easy and cheap way to lube your bearings, then you can definitely use vaseline. All you need is a small amount and it will do the job just fine. Just be sure to clean the excess off afterwards so it doesn't attract dirt and grime.
No, you cannot use WD-40 as bike grease. WD-40 is a water-displacing spray that is designed to protect metal from rust and corrosion. It is not a lubricant and will not work as a bike grease.
Your bike chain should be lubricated every few weeks to keep it from rusting and to ensure smooth operation. Use a clean cloth to wipe off any old lubricant before applying new lubricant. Apply lubricant to all moving parts of the chain, including the rollers, pins, and link plates.
