As cyclists we like to think we have eco credentials, but bike manufacturing can be a dirty business, and oils can contain all sorts of petrochemical nasties.

Which is where Green Oil comes in. Its products are petrochemical and Teflon-free, and made entirely of natural ingredients that should swiftly degrade after use.

Green Oil's grease has worked well so far during a wet British summer – now we’ll see if it can deal with winter.

Manufacturers description

Ecogrease is a thick grease for the budding bicycle mechanic. Rather than for lubing your chain, Ecogrease is used to stop other bike parts seizing up, like bearings, seat post shafts and pivots.

  • surely if it degrades quickly, (which is why its green) doesnt it have a shorter lifespan??

  • Orangutans will appreciate you for using this not the usual 'green' oils which often conatin palm oil from eco-disaster plantations that are wrecking the rain forests. Good on you Ecogrease! I'll be buying it.

  • thomas, I doubt it degrades that quickly. A fast complete degradation would be way longer than the frequency at which you should oil your chain. Hey, it might even serve as a gauge for lubricating...
