WD-40 Introduces Bicycle Products
WD-40 BIKE is scheduled to officially launch next month, with a product range including wet and dry chain lubricants, a heavy-duty degreaser, a foaming bike wash and a frame protectant. According to WD-40:
Developed over a span of 12 months via collaboration between WD-40 scientists, professional bike mechanics and independent bicycle retailers, the WD-40 BIKE line was designed for maintenance-minded and discriminating cycling enthusiasts. The line will be featured in bicycle retailers across the United States.
“The WD-40 brand is definitely no stranger to bicycling,” offers Mike Irwin, Managing Partner of WD-40 BIKE Company. “The original WD-40 Multi-Use Product has been a mainstay in the toolboxes of bike mechanics for decades. The new WD-40 BIKE line blends our considerable experience with the demands of today’s bike technology to present a comprehensive high-performance maintenance package.”

I probably shouldn’t be…but for some reason I’m very excited about this. Hell, they could package the same product in a “skateboard bearings” bottle and I’d buy both!

Hmm after decades of me telling people NOT to use WD-40 on bikes WD-40 decides to release “bike” products. Yeah, still gonna tell people to pick a different product.

Water-Displacer-40 sucked as lube – it collects grit and wrecks everything it touches. I hope their “scientists” have outsmarted their marketers this time.

Tried to get WD40 to sponsor our race – samples, anything. Received a curt response that they “aren’t interested.” F them.
