FAQs
How often should I re-grease components?
The frequency of re-greasing depends on usage and environmental conditions. Inspect components regularly and re-grease as needed, especially after riding in wet or muddy conditions.
Can I use Silca Synergetic Race Grease on my chain?
No, this grease is not designed for chain lubrication. Use a chain-specific lubricant, such as Silca's Synergetic Drip Lube, for your chain.
Is this grease safe for carbon fiber components?
Yes, Silca Synergetic Race Grease is safe for use with carbon fiber components, as it is compatible with a wide range of materials.
What is the shelf life of this grease?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place, Silca Synergetic Race Grease should have a shelf life of several years. Always reseal the container after use.
How much grease should I use?
Use a thin, even layer of grease. Over-greasing can attract dirt and create excessive drag. A little goes a long way.
What components is this grease best suited for?
It is best suited for hub bearings, bottom brackets, pedal threads and bearings, and other high-stress, low-friction applications.
Can I mix this grease with other greases?
It is generally best practice not to mix greases from different manufacturers. This can lead to reduced performance or incompatibility issues. For optimal performance, only use Silca Synergetic Race Grease.
Troubleshooting
Component feels rough or sticky after greasing.
Ensure you've used the correct amount of grease. Too much grease can create excessive drag. Clean and reapply the grease, using a thinner layer.
Creaking noise from bottom bracket or pedals.
Disassemble the component, clean the threads and bearings, and reapply the grease. Ensure all parts are properly tightened.
Bearings wearing out too quickly.
Check for contamination and ensure that you're using the correct amount of grease. If the bearings are old or damaged, replace them.
