Reghardt van Rensburg Posted February 12, 2020 Share 2 Years ago I bought a 500ml bottle called the Squirt Lube Workshop size chain lube.That lasted me a whole 2 years. And it cost R160.00 from a LBS.No I only see the 120ml - lowest price being R95.00The distributors - https://fitsportslab.co.za/ also doesn't even have this on their product list anymore. Goodness me, I cannot understand why it has to be this expensive per ml all suddenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanievb Posted February 12, 2020 Share Contact Spoke works and get some smoove I'd rather use old ford tractor oil, my chain will stay gunkless much longer ChUkKy, Long Wheel Base, Matchstix and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted February 12, 2020 Share I used Squirt for a while, it wasn't too bad but as Fanievb pointed out, it does gunk up the chain and you do need to apply the night before....I wound up using a chain wax from BoltMan/Bearing Man that was pretty much the same in my opinion but a whole lot cheaper and you could get a big bottle of it.

Thomo Posted February 12, 2020 Share I'd rather use old ford tractor oil, my chain will stay gunkless much longerI must admit that I was also a little surprised at the build up at first.I've since revisited my application routine with improved results.That said, not quite the experience I was anticipating. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MphatiPyga Posted February 12, 2020 Share My LBS told me that size is only for the workshop and not customers, can’t sell it, but it was freely available at other not so localBS. Have switched to Smoov, much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted February 12, 2020 Share Squirt has gone all corporatey since they hit the global market.Workshop packs are now what they call B2B i.e. for bike shop consumption and the 120ml bottle is B2C or bike shop to consumer.Ask your lbs nicely to get you the workshop packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted February 12, 2020 Share The 500ml were never supposed to be sold to the public as far as I know. It was "workshop only". DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted February 13, 2020 Share pretty sure there are big bottles at cwc at the sales counter if i remember correctly (a few weeks back though) . i know because i took as small one instead...they were next to the big ones on the right most counter in the corner. then again...it might have been tire sealant but there were a few products.. Probably R1mil though... Edited February 13, 2020 by morneS555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted February 13, 2020 Share I've seen Bearing Man (BMG) Go Wax Lube recommended in another thread. Not sure what the price is now, but I think it will be around R200 for 500ml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velouria Posted February 13, 2020 Share There is still a way you can get hold of a 500ml bottle of Squirt, but it involves some dedication and commitment. You need to enter the OakValley 24hr. But, here's the catch. You also need to win the OakValley 24hr. Solo. The wine in the winner's goodie bag didn't last long, but I'm super stoked about the super duper sized bottle of Squirt that I got!
