Silicone bike lubricant, 400 ml
NANOPROTECH Silicone bike lubricant is an aerosol lube for forks, shocks, chains, hubs, bottom brackets, brake cables and headsets. It has high penetrating and lubricating capacity, repels water, prevents rust and is safe for rubber and plastic. Apply it to a clean surface every 50 km.
The 400 ml can (300 ml of product) covers about 4 m² on average.
Where to use the silicone lube on a bike
- Fork and shocks: the lube improves the sliding of moving parts.
- Seatposts, including dropper posts.
- The chain: the lube reduces friction and keeps moisture off the links.
- Hubs, bottom bracket and headset — on the outside, along the seals; the lube is not forced into the bearings.
- Brake cables — but never the brake discs or pads.
- Mechanisms after washing the bike and when preparing it for a new season.
Why it suits forks and suspension
- Free of mineral oils; does not damage seals or dust wipers.
- Silicone (polymethylsiloxane) fluid base with high penetrating capacity.
- Safe for rubber and plastic.
- Does not smudge or evaporate.
- Repels water and prevents rust.
- Works on the outside — on the fork legs and dust wipers — so it suits coil, air and elastomer forks.
How to apply
Shake the can and apply the lube to a clean surface at 0 °C to +28 °C. Reapply every 50 km. Do not treat brake discs or pads.
