For everyday NZ winter riding above freezing, standard Squirt Long Lasting Chain Lube will generally be the more suitable option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I switch between standard Squirt and the Low Temperature version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The two Squirt formulas are interchangeable, making it easy to change lubricants when heading into or returning from colder riding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to degrease my chain before applying it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, before the first application. Factory grease and any previous oil-based lubricant should be completely removed, and the chain must be clean and dry. Once you are using Squirt, regular degreasing generally isn’t required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long should I let it dry before riding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the lube to dry completely before riding, preferably overnight. Apply it indoors at a warmer temperature so the water carrier can evaporate before taking the bike outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the bottle be stored in freezing temperatures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Although the lube is made for riding below freezing, the bottle itself should be stored between approximately 4°C and 35°C and must not be allowed to freeze.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Squirt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32234714169437,"sku":"squirt low tempreture lube","price":24.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1709\/8607\/files\/squirt-low-temp-chain-lube-snow.jpg?v=1784673034","url":"https:\/\/www.trevscycleshop.co.nz\/products\/squirt-low-temperature-chain-lube","provider":"Trevs Cycle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
