Our favorite Peaty's products.
Steve Peat has been a great rider in the mountain bike world and continues to demonstrate his talent as the head coach of the Santa Cruz Syndicate DH team. But Peaty isn't just a standout as an athlete and coach, but also as an entrepreneur. His Peaty's line of grooming products is growing, and frankly, here at EPIC, we're big fans of his products. So, we thought we'd make a list of our favorite Peaty's products and explain why we love them so much.
Link Lube Dry
Peaty's Link Lube Dry chain lubricant is one of the best on the market in our opinion. It is made from a blend of patented waxes in a water-based transfer fluid. Once applied, it lasts a really long time and provides a
Superior lubrication. According to Peaty's , if conditions are ideal, it can last up to 300km of riding! Of all the dry chain lubricants, this is by far the one we tested that lasts the longest and holds up best if you ever encounter water during your day. When applying, simply apply the lubricant to the chain, spin it for 10 seconds, and let it dry until the lubricant becomes transparent. No excess to remove since there is no residual oil for dirt to stick to. You're ready to ride right away! We still recommend applying it at home since it takes a little longer to dry. It's not ideal to wait 15 minutes for your chain lube to dry while your friends stare at you in the parking lot, eager to go riding. Invitations to ride may become rarer after a while.
Link Lube All Weather
Peaty's Link Lube All Weather is definitely one of the best chain lubes to have on you at all times. It has the same blend of waxes as in Link Lube Dry, but this time suspended in a light oil. It's very versatile and adapts very well to all the conditions you may encounter. It may not hold as well as a wet lube in very wet conditions, but it will be much less sticky and messy in dry conditions. Application takes just a few seconds; you apply, spin the chain for 10 seconds, quickly wipe off the excess, and voilà, you're ready to ride. This is the perfect bottle of lube to leave in the car and will provide you with high-level lubrication that can cope with all conditions and with a quick application. It's also my number one choice for traveling. Only one bottle to bring.
Holeshot Biofiber Tubeless Sealant
Peaty 's Holeshot Tire Sealant is one of the best sealants we use at EPIC. It is very effective and seals tires very well upon installation. Its formula uses organic fibers and also organic plant-based flakes. The presence of the flakes allows the sealant to fill large punctures. They act like platelets in the blood and clump together near the puncture to allow the sealant to do its job. The secret is that the flakes are heavy and sink to the bottom of the sealant. According to Peaty's, the Holeshot sealant can take care of punctures measuring up to 6mm. We cannot confirm this claim, but one thing is for sure; every time we have needed Peaty's Holeshot sealant, it has delivered on all fronts.
Loam Foam Concentrate
Peaty 's Loam Foam is the cleaner we use in our workshop. It's our favorite because it cleans deep, is biodegradable, and smells really fresh. But what we love most is the concentrated formula. With one liter of Loam Foam Concentrate , you can make 5 liters of cleaner. Saving money and reducing our plastic consumption is something we love at EPIC. Simply add 200 ml of concentrate to your one-liter bottle of Loam Foam and fill the rest with water. Simple as that.
Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser
Peaty 's Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser is a biodegradable, foaming degreaser with excellent degreasing power. It's actually the degreaser we use in the workshop for quick cleanups before working on a derailleur system. Its foaming action is really useful for reducing messes during application, avoiding contaminating other parts, and allowing the degreaser to work properly before cleaning. A great addition to your maintenance products.
And there you have it! These are our favorite Peaty's products. It goes without saying that the entire range is excellent, and Peaty's is on a roll right now. Their products sell out quickly, and it becomes harder to get your hands on them in season. So, don't wait to get caught out and start planning your Peaty's products for the season!
