This is the synthetic lubricant that consistently outperforms all others currently available. It attains DOUBLE the performance in the metal-to-metal grind tests of other bicycle oils, and has incredible low and high-temperature characteristics, which is absolutely necessary for proper bicycle lubrication but completely lacking in petroleum-based oils and WD-40. Don't use them on your bikes any longer! Actual oils leave sticky deposits when the short-chain molecule components evaporate over time. This process will cause your chain to rust, and the pivot points on your brakes,  derailleurs, and pedals to get sluggish.  WD-40 only displaces water, but then offers no lasting corrosion prevention. Silicone sprays also leave no protection that will last.

 Petro-oils vs. synthetics:

Petroleum-based oils lack both the lubrication performance and oxidation stability of synthetics. Real oil is made up of a mixture of long and short chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, and under certain conditions the short-chain molecules evaporate, and the unstable molecules oxidize and break down. This leaves a sticky residue which can actually “gum up” the device it was intending to lubricate. Conventional oils also contain varying amounts of impurities, such as sulfur, waxes, and unstable hydrocarbons which are left behind as residue deposits. 

In contrast, synthetic oils are made using a process that re-arranges the structure so all the molecules are uniform in size, shape, and weight, an ideal phenomenon which does not occur in nature. While petroleum-based oils that are extracted from the ground must then be refined to attempt to minimize their shortcomings, synthetics are custom-designed to produce the ultimate lubricant, with inherent performance characteristics vastly superior to any petro-oil.

Using synthetics after using petro-oils:

It is perfectly safe to begin using Liquid Bearings on all your bikes  immediately, even if you have been lubricating them with conventional oils for years or decades. It is fully compatible with all vintage and current oils, and will eventually flush away the residue of the evaporated real oil over time. You will easily notice that your hinged brake levers, derailleur controls, pedals, and the chain itself will operate much more freely and quietly after using Liquid Bearings, especially if you have been using petro-based oil or WD-40 on them.

The odorless lubricant:

One of the most pleasing characteristics of Liquid Bearings is that it is engineered to be essentially odorless!!  It is such a pleasure to work with your bicycle equipment and not have everything, including your clothing and hands, smelling of oil! Compare it to any other lubricant, petro,  teflon, or synthetic, and you will prefer working with Liquid Bearings!

Where to use it:

This fully synthetic proprietary blend is suitable for all bicycle  applications, including friction points of mating or sliding parts, levers, derailleurs, cables, pedals, chain, and general corrosion prevention. It does not contain any graphite or Teflon components, it will not attract or retain dirt and contaminants like petroleum-based oils do, and will never harm or soften any plastic or rubber components or painted surfaces.  It is the absolute best for “wetting” your chain, and it doesn’t subsequently evaporate and let it corrode. Regular oil starts out “wet”, but evaporates as time passes, and eventually your chain will begin to rust. Liquid Bearings stays “wet” essentially forever, because it never evaporates! It is simply the best at preventing rust. 

Consumer alert:

Please note that there is a “synthetic oil” trick which some manufacturers are playing on consumers. Recently relaxed rules in the labeling and classifying of oil products now allow up to 30% of an oil to be derived from petroleum-based products and still call itself synthetic! Don’t be fooled!  Liquid Bearings contains only 100% synthetic components and no petroleum products. It is an incredible lubricant that will also immediately begin to remove the deposits left by years of petroleum lubrication!

The bottle & needle tip:

The bottle is made from LDPE and is very soft to use. The high quality stainless steel 18-gauge dispensing needle lets you lubricate your equipment precisely, without getting the oil on the rest of the bike. The needle utilizes the patented Luer Lock which is used on pharmaceutical supplies and is top quality. It has a leak-proof scabbard which covers the tip of the needle between uses. Many other bicycle oils come with crude plastic nozzles or eye-droppers which literally drool out the oil. Liquid Bearings is able to be placed exactly where you want it every time, drop by drop!
