Peaty’s Bicycle Assembly Grease

Peaty's Bicycle Assembly Grease
For general use in headsets, bottom brackets, bolts and axles, Peaty’s Bicycle assembly grease uses the latest generation of base oils and additives to provide long-lasting, low friction performance under extreme pressures. Meeting the ultimate biodegrability oecd test 301B, the assembly grease has a high resistance to water washout, excellent anti-corrosion properties and adhesion to metal parts while remaining compatible with most other conventional greases.

Peaty's Bicycle Assembly Grease is compatible with all oils of a mineral or synthetic nature except for PAG (polyalkylene glycol) based products. The number one requirement for a grease is that it lubricates really well. A good grease need melocules which flow over each other easily (less drag and coat the metal surface thoroughly and evenly, to prevent metal on metal contact (which results in parts wearing out).

The base oils have been formulated using synthetic esters with a marked polarity. Ester is a variant of synthetic oil. Esters are more expensive than straight synthetic oils because the ingredients all have to be collected from natural sources and then synthesised in much smaller quantities than regular synthetic oil.

The number one reason to use ester oil is how well it bonds to surfaces. Ester oil has an electrochemical bond because the ester moelcule is polar, sort of like a fridge magenet. It is attracted to metal and also because of this electrochemical charge, the grease naturally distribute itself evenly over a surface since each molecule will repel from each other, like trying to push two positive ends of a magnet together.
