Muc-Off eBike Dry Lube 50ml

A standard lube will work, but it will not last as long. The torque from a mid-drive motor squeezes lube out from between the roller and pin faster than pedalling alone does, which is what the e-bike lubricity pack is formulated to resist.

More often than on a normal bike. Measure it for stretch every few hundred kilometres with a chain checker - a worn chain that gets left on will take the cassette and chainring with it, and on an e-bike that happens faster.

On a clean, dry chain: one drop per link, back-pedal a few turns to work it into the rollers, leave it to settle, then wipe the outside of the chain with a rag. Lube left on the outer plates does nothing except collect dust.

Yes, and it matters more than which lube you pick. Fresh lube laid over old lube and grit just seals the grit inside the links. Degrease, rinse, let it dry fully, then lubricate.

For most of the year around Dar es Salaam you are riding in heat and fine dust, which is dry-lube territory - a dry or wax lube leaves a drier film that dust does not stick to. Switch to a wet lube through the long rains in March to May and the short rains in November and December, when washing off matters more than staying clean.

Keep it out of direct sun and away from a hot car boot. Aerosols and solvent-based products do not enjoy sitting at 40 degrees C, and a cupboard indoors is fine. Close the cap properly - humidity on the coast gets into anything left open.
