SHIMANO Premium Grease (Tube 100 Gr)

Product Information

It is always better to take test rides/bike fittings by putting on the same shoes, apparel which you normally prefer for rides. There can be difference in fit when you are wearing a pair of jeans than when you are in cycling shorts. features Although it may be convenient, and it may work temporarily in a pinch, common household penetrating oil such as WD-40 is not an ideal chain lubricant. Do not regularly rely on penetrating oil for chain lubrication. I used to flush out grease with a spray can of silicone grease or even WD40. Placing the nozzle of the spray can right against the bearing where I wanted to flush and tilting the bearing so everything can run out, helped by gravity. Is that a good method?

Of the 854 from Shimano, 713 were more expensive than Shimano Premium Grease and 136 were cheaper. How much are Shimano Lubes Cleaning? Premium grease and actually decent value. by Anonymous, 2 February 2010, 8 out of 8 people found this review helpful This is great stuff. I bought one of the little tubs a few years ago and it works very well – it’s stiff enough that it’s easy to apply but very very smooth. It definitey seems to last well too – I’ve taken things apart after 6 months use and the grease has still looked great – which didn’t seem to happen before. It’s actually good value even for such a small tub – because you don’t need to replace it so often and because there’s no waste when you apply it. Definitely recommended. The granting of a best price is not combinable with other promotions (e.g. "free articles) from Bike-Discount.With 234 products available we worked out that 47 cost more than Shimano Premium Grease and 181 were cheaper. Cost of Shimano products For most, it is not practical to have multiple different grease types sitting on the shelf. For this kind of user, an NLGI 0, 1 or 2 would be recommended.

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Lubes Cleaning.A second opinion is always better and for this you can simply visit the local bike shop near you and you can get advice on the type of bike you can buy and the different models you can choose from that suit your needs. Consider the fit first Servicing bicycle components such as the chain, will require cleaners and solvents. Never use highly flammable liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, or diesel as cleaning solvent. Always use purpose-made degreasing solvent such as Park Tool CB-4. Typically, grease is used for either lubricating moving parts or as an assembly aid. The types of grease for these two applications are quite different. At Chain Reaction Cycles we found 854 products from Shimano, of which 7 were in the Lubes Cleaning category.

Irrespective of whether you buy a top brand model or just an entry level bike, it can be a disaster if it doesn’t fit. You can consult the salesperson and he can help you buy the right size. Then work out 4 different adjustments like handlebar height, saddle position, seat height and the reach. It is always better to hunt for shop with trained staff as they will take perfect measurements, help you settle on multiple bikes and accordingly swap different parts to adjust your position. This service will certainly cost you a little more, so you need to plan your budget accordingly. Do not fall in prey to some retailers who often offer bikes in odd sizes at a discounted price. Experiment with a lot of models Carbon grip paste is often described as a grease. The solvent medium is a grease with abrasive particles embedded within the material. It is designed to increase friction by providing “bite” between surfaces. It does not function like grease in the typical sense and is not covered in this guide. Recommendations Chain lubes are typically offered in a variety of formulations for specific riding conditions. “Wet” lubes (such as Park Tool CL-1 Synthetic Blend Chain Lube) have a high viscosity and perform well in humid or rainy climates, while “dry” lubes generally attract less dirt and debris, which is especially helpful in dry, dusty climates. Chains can also be lubricated with a wax-based lubricant. To learn more about the merits of these different options, visit a cycling message board or buy your local mechanic a beer. Your selection entirely depends on how long, how hard and the location where you are going to ride. Spare some timeSome greases really are special. But in other cases the grease doesn't really matter. Since so many companies just say to use their approved grease, it can be hard to tell apart which applications are really special and which ones don't really matter. Hydraulic mineral oil - this is for disc brakes, and is different from DOT fluid. Anecdotally people use mineral oil including baby oil, and it 'works'. But Shimano claim that only theirs is good and others can destroy your brakes. https://bikerumor.com/2013/04/11/tech-speak-brake-fluid-break-down-and-implications-for-road-disc-updated/ Take this with a pinch of salt as there are bunch of hydraulic mineral oils sold specifically for bicycles and no complaints. Different hydraulic mineral oils do have different boiling points, and different viscosity. Most bicycle bearing grease has a fancy marketing name like “Shimano Premium Grease”. I cannot find a NLGI number or any specifications of it. That can mask a ‘just buy me and do not ask or look elsewhere’ scam. Does anyone have a clue which NLGI number it has? Another grease-based product is carbon assembly compound, which typically is grease + silica, which adds friction to enable parts to grip with a lower torque. This is used with carbon fibre parts, which if over-torqued can fracture. Unfortunately it's not very clear which grease and additives is best, because bicycles are different from lots of other applications in that speeds are quite low, and temperatures not too high. Durability is likely to be important.

Other Solvents

Internal hub maintenance oil and SG-S700 oil. These serve a similar function in lubricating the internals of Shimano hub gears, but different designs seem to warrant tow different oils. Other IGH will require oil as well, e.g. Rohloff oil Free hub seal grease . This is not for freehubs in general but is specifically for Shimano's Microspline seals, and for specific seals there.
