Q&A
Q: What is bicycle grease used for?
A: Bicycle grease is used for many places on your bike, but many riders don’t fully understand how to use bike grease correctly, and I will help you become a pro mechanic. Most people think grease goes everywhere on a bike, but that is far from the truth. Bicycle grease is used to lubricate moving parts such as the cranks, bicycle headset bearings, wheels, and bike hubs. High-quality bike grease like Park Tool PolyLube 1000, Motorex Bike Grease 2000, or Phil Wood grease also works as a metal protectant to prevent rust and corrosion. You can apply bicycle assembly grease anywhere metal touches metal to reduce creaking, but you do not want to use grease on brake cables. It can, however, be used on v-brakes, cantilever brakes, and coaster brake posts.
Q: What is the best bicycle grease for bearings?
A: The best grease for bicycle bearings is a high-quality poly lube or bike bearing grease designed specifically for cycling use. Popular options include Park Tool PolyLube 1000 grease, Motorex Bike Grease 2000, Phil Wood grease, and greases similar to Finish Line Premium grease. These products are widely used as bicycle wheel bearing grease, bike hub grease, and cycle wheel bearing grease because they provide long-lasting protection and smooth rolling.
Q: Can I use automotive grease on a bicycle?
A: Automotive grease is much thicker than bicycle-specific grease and is not ideal for bicycle bearings or bike axles. Car grease is designed for high temperatures, while bike grease such as Park Tool bike grease or mountain bike grease is formulated to work at lower temperatures and reduce drag. Using automotive grease can slow down bike wheel bearings and cranks, which is why bicycle grease is recommended instead.
Q: What grease should I use on bike pedals?
A: You can use bike grease or bicycle axle grease on bike pedals and pedal threads. Products like Park Tool PolyLube 1000 grease or Phil Wood grease work well for bike pedal lubrication. Applying grease for pedal threads prevents noise and corrosion. If pedals are sealed and not rebuildable, greasing the threads during installation is usually enough.
Q: Do I need grease on pedal threads?
A: Yes, greasing pedal threads is strongly recommended. Using bike axle grease or bicycle assembly grease on pedal threads prevents rust and bonding between the pedal spindle and crank arm, especially on BMX and mountain bikes.
Q: What grease is best for bottom brackets?
A: A general-purpose bike grease such as Park Tool PolyLube 1000 or Motorex Bike Grease 2000 is ideal for bottom brackets. These greases are commonly used as bicycle crank grease and bike crank grease because they protect bearings from moisture while allowing smooth rotation.
Q: What is the difference between bike grease and bike chain lube?
A: Bicycle grease is thick and designed to stay in place on bearings and axles, while chain lube is thin and designed to penetrate moving chain parts. Even though some riders experiment with PolyLube 1000 on bike chains, grease is not recommended for chains because it attracts dirt. Chain-specific lubrication should always be used instead of grease.
Q: Should I grease my bicycle headset?
A: Yes, bicycle headset bearing grease is essential during installation and servicing. Using bike headset bearing grease or Park Tool PolyLube helps prevent corrosion, noise, and premature wear. Headsets typically only need servicing every 6 months to a year depending on riding conditions.
Q: How often should I grease bicycle bearings?
A: If you ride frequently or in harsh conditions, bicycle wheel bearings and bike hub bearings should be greased every 6–12 months. Normal riding conditions allow for servicing every 1–2 years, while bikes that see minimal use may go up to 2 years between maintenance.
Q: What grease should I use on a bike seatpost?
A: A good bicycle grease or bike seat grease should be used on a seatpost to prevent corrosion and seizing. Products like Park Tool bike grease or Motorex grease are commonly used for seatpost installation and adjustment.
Q: What grease is best for BMX bikes?
A: The best grease for BMX bikes includes Park Tool PolyLube 1000, Phil Wood grease, Motorex Bike Grease 2000, or other high-quality BMX crank grease. These greases are ideal for BMX hubs, axles, headsets, and crank bearings.
Q: Should I grease bike axles and hubs?
A: Yes, bike axles and hubs should always be greased using bicycle axle grease or bike hub grease. Regular lubrication protects wheel bearings, improves rolling efficiency, and extends component life.
Q: What happens if I don’t grease bike components?
A: Without proper bicycle grease, components wear faster due to friction and corrosion. Grease acts as both a lubricant and a barrier. Over time, contaminated grease can act like sandpaper inside bearings, while dried-out grease no longer protects parts such as bike axles, hubs, or crank bearings.
Q: How much grease should I use on a bike?
A: Apply a thin, even layer of bicycle grease to bearings and metal contact points. Using too much grease can attract dirt, while too little grease will not provide enough protection for bike bearings or axles.
Q: Can grease stop bike parts from creaking?
A: Yes, bicycle grease can stop creaking bike parts. Cleaning and applying a thin layer of bike grease to areas like crank spindles, bottom brackets, seatposts, and hub interfaces reduces friction and prevents rust, eliminating creaks.
