There are several different types of chain lubricant out there, and in the wintry months when you are riding through gritty slop, you’re best opting for a wet lube like the Muc-Off Wet Lube.

In addition, it becomes even more important to give you bike a good clean after riding, paying particular attention to the chain and gears. The particles in the mud can work their way into the moving parts, and with repeated use can act like sandpaper, eroding away your expensive components. A good clean and re-grease will keep your steed running sweetly through the winter.
