Grease - MTB Thread lock

The different types of bicycle grease

Bicycle grease is essential for maintaining mechanical components. It lubricates bearings, axles and other moving parts, while preventing wear and corrosion. Among the varieties available is universal grease, widely used for general component maintenance. Its versatility means it can be used on a wide range of components, from bearings to cranksets.

Some greases are designed specifically for more technical uses. For example, copper grease, which is ideal for use in areas subject to high temperatures, also protects against seizing. This type of grease is often used when assembling threaded parts or to prevent cold welding in difficult environments.

Teflon grease

Teflon grease is another commonly used option in the cycling world. It offers low-friction lubrication, making it an excellent choice for cyclists looking for optimised performance. Its ability to reduce wear on parts while ensuring smooth, quiet movement is particularly appreciated for drivetrain systems.

Its use on sensitive components, such as bearings and bottom bracket axles, means that the integrity of the parts is preserved over the long term. For those looking to optimise their bike's performance, Teflon grease is a must.

Assembly paste: protection during assembly

Assembly paste is a product not to be overlooked when assembling sensitive parts. It plays a crucial role in preventing seizure and making parts easier to dismantle. It is ideal for carbon components, often used on top-of-the-range bikes, but also for metal assemblies that require extra protection against corrosion.

Whether it's for seatposts, cranksets or stems, the mounting paste ensures a stable fit while preventing seizure problems, even after long periods of use.

Thread lock

Bike Thread lock is an essential product for securing fasteners. It keeps screws and bolts firmly in place, while preventing them from loosening due to the vibrations and shocks common when cycling.

Thread lock is particularly useful for critical areas such as brakes, transmission or suspension systems.

Available in a range of strengths, net brakes allow you to choose the level of hold required depending on the part to be secured. They are a practical and effective solution for ensuring the durability of mechanical assemblies.
