YOUR BIKE’S BEST KEPT SECRET AGAINST THE ELEMENTS

GT85 uses

2 min read

When the weather turns and everything’s covered in mud and loose grit, being in the know of the many GT85 uses will keep your spirits high.  

It’s a favourite formula for the serious riders who don’t pack it in over grey weather. We’re talking rain, wind, hail – none of that fair-weather nonsense.  

If the thought doesn’t even make you flinch, then dig into the pro cyclist’s GT85 uses. 

GT85 USES FOR WINTER

The good stuff repels moisture, locks in the lube and protects your moving parts – so you can keep racking up the miles, regardless of the elements.  

GENERAL GT85 USES 

  1. Lubes moving parts – chains, levers, joints – you name it. 
  2. Cleans off grime – mud, grit, dust – the lot. 
  3. Protects against moisture – stops rust dead in its tracks. 
  4. Frees up seized parts – stuck bolts? Sorted. 
  5. Squeaks put to bed – moving parts will keep on gliding. 

SPECIALIST GT85 USES FOR YOUR RIDE 

  1. Keep the chain lubed – wet, dirty roads will eat your chain alive. Use that lavender lube you love so much to keep it free from rust. Attach the red nozzle and spray while slowly turning the pedals. Wipe off excess.
     
  2. Treat the frame – don’t let road filth dull its shine. Hose it down and buff it with a GT85 covered rag to bring it back.
     
  3.  Spray the metal bits – bolts, mechanisms and fittings are magnets for rust in winter. A quick blast of GT85 after each session will do the job.
     
  4. Free up your cables – give your cable entry points a light spray to stop them seizing mid-ride. Use your head, use the nozzle.
     
  5. Test the brakes – we know you’ve got common sense but just so we’ve done our bit, for the love of cycling, do not spray your brake pads or rotors. Check your brakes are responsive and clean the arms and linkages with a rag. Slippy roads call for reliable brakes.
