Squirt Your Way to a Cleaner, Faster Ride: Why This Chain Lube Wins

Posted by Trevor Barrett on

Here's why Squirt should be your go-to chain lube:

  1. Clean Machine: Unlike traditional oil-based lubes, Squirt utilises a wax-based formula. This means it repels dirt and dust rather than attracting it. You'll be surprised at how much cleaner your chain stays, even after riding through grime. No more black grease stains on your precious bike or clothes!
  2. Long-lasting Performance: Squirt's wax-based formula adheres well to your chain, providing extended lubrication that outlasts many oil-based options. This translates to fewer reapplications and more time spent enjoying your ride.
  3. All-Weather Warrior: Whether you're battling dusty trails or rainy commutes, Squirt holds its own. The wax-based formula is water-resistant, ensuring your chain stays lubricated in various conditions.
  4. Effortless Application: Say goodbye to messy lube jobs! Squirt's drip application makes it easy to apply directly to your chain. There's no wiping required, just let it dry and you're ready to roll.
  5. Chain Whisperer: Squirt effectively reduces friction between your chain and cassette, leading to a quieter and smoother ride. You'll spend less time listening to chain noise and more time focused on the sound of your tires hitting the pavement.
  6. Eco-Conscious Choice: Cyclists are often environmentally conscious, and Squirt is a great choice for the eco-friendly rider. The formula is 100% biodegradable, so you can lube your chain guilt-free.

We believe that it lubricates better, stays on the chain longer and keeps the chain clean. But if you don't believe everything Trev says, check out this review from muddymoles.org.uk.

Review: Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel Mix

Posted by Trevor Barrett on

Tailwind Nutrition is now 10 years young. In the past decade, they have pounded a constant drumbeat that their mixes are all you need for extended activity.

Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel Mix Details:

  • Built to speed absorption of fuel and replace what’s lost
  • Calories and electrolytes deliver all you need
  • Non-GMO, gluten free, vegan, dairy and soy free
