Collection: Chain oil

Chain oil is perhaps one of the most underrated components on a bike – but nevertheless crucial to both performance and longevity. A well-maintained and lubricated chain reduces friction, provides smoother threading, improves gear shifting and reduces wear on both chain and cassette. At Transition Zone we have selected chain oils from Muc-Off and Split Second, both of which deliver high quality for riders who want to ride longer and more efficiently.

Whether you ride in the rain, sun, on gravel or asphalt, we have an oil to suit your conditions. With the right lubricant, you will experience a noticeable difference in your bike – and you will also avoid unnecessary maintenance and expensive repairs in the long run.

Muc-Off is one of the most popular brands in the cycling world when it comes to maintenance products. Their chain oils are known for combining high performance with ease of use, and they are used by professional WorldTour teams and ambitious exercisers alike. At Transition Zone we stock several of their most popular products – including Dry Lube and Wet Lube.

Dry Lube is an obvious choice for dry and dusty conditions. It quickly penetrates the chain and leaves a dry film that reduces friction and prevents dirt from sticking. Perfect for road and summer training.

Wet Lube is designed for wet and muddy conditions where the oil needs to stay put, even after many miles of riding in the rain. It protects against corrosion and keeps the chain running in even the harshest weather conditions.

Split Second is a German brand that specializes in high-quality bike care products – including chain oil, degreasers and lubricants. The brand has gained traction among riders and mechanics who want effective protection, low friction and reliable durability in all conditions. At Transition Zone, we carry a range of their lubricants for both wet and dry conditions, which are easy to use and provide a noticeable improvement in chain performance.

Split Seconds Dry Chain Oil is ideal for hot and dusty conditions where a light, non-sticky oil minimizes dirt and ensures a silent thread. The liquid formulation penetrates deep into the chain links and reduces wear without leaving excess residue.

For rainy and challenging weather conditions, we recommend their wet lube, which forms a strong protective film around the chain. It resists both moisture and dirt, allowing you to ride longer between cleanings. In other words, Split Second delivers reliable performance, making them a strong alternative to the more established brands on the market.

Choosing the right chain lube depends on several factors: the weather, your bike type and how often you ride. If you ride primarily in dry weather on the road, a dry lube from either Muc-Off or Split Second will provide low friction and a cleaner chain for longer. For daily commuting, gravel or winter training in wet conditions, a wet lube is a better option as it has longer durability and better resistance to dirt and water.

Whether you're a competitive rider or simply want to optimize your watts, Muc-Off chain oil is one of the most advanced choices on the market – designed to provide minimal resistance and maximum durability, even under pressure.

Always remember to clean the chain thoroughly before applying new oil. A dirty chain reduces the effectiveness of even the best oil and increases wear on your entire drive system. Use a degreaser and chain brush, and wipe the chain dry before applying new oil.
