SHIMANO Premium Grease (Tube 100 Gr)

Product Information

For someone who is keen to go fast, an NLGI 00 or 000 grease would be recommended for bearing lubrication. Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Lubes Cleaning. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Shimano Premium Grease. Anti-seize compounds such as Park Tool ASC-1 are typically made of ground metals such as aluminum or copper suspended in a lubricant. 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? A high load grease that keeps corrosionat bay, and avoids damage to the bearing, is by far superior in the long haul.

before applying the new grease, do i need to remove the factory grease? (use a degreaser) or it’s okay just to open the seal, wipe clean then add new one into the mix? Although not recommended for press-fit or threaded applications, assembly compound is very useful on clamping applications, especially involving carbon fiber. A common application is on carbon fiber seat tubes that have difficulty holding the seat post secure. It can also be useful on the interface between handlebars and stems. The NLGI rating will effectively control the materials that are used. For example, copper grease is rarely found in low NLGI numbers because it contains copper as an abrasive and is unsuitable for moving parts, this is often why it is called anti-seize compound. In contrast, lithium and teflon are found at the more dynamic end of the scale owing to reduced friction. Carbon Grease / Fiber Paste

The granting of a best price is not combinable with other promotions (e.g. "free articles) from Bike-Discount. Anti-seize is ideal for surface preparation on threaded and press fit applications, especially between two dissimilar materials. It provides a durable, long-lasting layer of protection that guards against moisture and corrosion more effectively than grease. Any threaded or press fit application where you can use grease, you can use anti-seize compound. 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

Although it is advisable that you take advice from experts and your friends, but after you consult the experts or friends, the final decision is up to you.

The Premium Grease from Shimano lubricates and reduces friction. Guarantees optimum life for the components. 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. 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. The internet is flooded with information on different types of bikes along with detailed information regarding its parts and how they function. Do spend some time gaining knowledge about bike parts so that you understand the difference between different models, brands and frame materials etc.
