mountainFlow

mountainFlow has developed a collection of plant-based bike products that are biodegradable, non-toxic, and work just as well as their petroleum-based competitors.d

Bike Lube

Keep your drivetrain smooth and fast in every condition and season. All of the lubes are plant-based + biodegradable. Which mountainFlow Bike Lube is right for you? The answer relies on the conditions you plan to ride in and what sort of environments you expect to encounter! Remember that what you put on your bike ends up in the watershed, so take care of your chain, bike fast, and be green with mountainFlow!

  • Wet Lube: For wet riding conditions. Great for winter fat biking.
    • Our most viscous chain lubricant

Bamboo Cleaning Brush – Set

mountainFLOW’s new cleaning brushes are made from bamboo and recycled plastic, and they’re sweet!

  • Frame Brush: Super soft bristles to clean your entire bike. Safe on surfaces.
    • The long soft bristles are designed to get into all the nooks and crannies and loosen up the dirt and grime.
  • Chain Brush: Tough bristles to remove the toughest grime from your drivetrain.
    • Scrub vigorously to loosen up the gunk that is stuck down in the pins and rollers of your chain. This is where the real friction can build up.

Thoughts => Nakee Butter is yummy, and the small pouches are a great way to snack out on the trail.

Targets specific health functions to optimize your body and mind’s performance. Designed to keep you fueled throughout life’s daily adventures.

The details:

  • MCT Oil – MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) are easily-absorbed fats extracted from coconut oil that improve cognitive function. MCT oil is nature’s lube for the mind.
  • Plant Protein – We use both pea and brown rice protein to complete the amino profile. Without both, you’re just half-assin’ it.
  • Peanut Butter – Peanuts are loaded with omega fatty acids; these are the kick-ass fats our bodies need to thrive.
  • Cacao – We use ethically-sourced cacao to pack awesome flavor and to add more health benefits, including magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants that make you feel good nakee.
  • Agave – Agave is a low-glycemic carbohydrate that fuels our bodies by providing sustained energy minus the crash. It also improves nutrient absorption, so all the good stuff isn’t wasted.
  • Sunflower – Sunflower lecithin is an essential fatty acid our bodies use for cellular repair. It is also a great source of choline, which helps improve memory function.

HandleStash

A bicycle cup holder for real-world conditions. – Have you ever tried to take coffee on your commute? What about coconut water or a smoothie?

We did too, and it didn’t go well, so we set out to design a bicycle cup holder that actually works.

A Shock Absorbing Cup Holder? Really?

Yes! HandleStash is sewn with lightweight elastic to absorb bumps, and the adjustable opening holds the drink securely no matter the shape or size.

Adjusts to Any Size Drink

The built-in elastic compresses the HandleStash, so it is short when nothing is in it and gets deeper the heavier a drink is. A 12 oz can rides high, so it’s still reachable, and a heavily insulated water bottle sits much deeper and uses the full stretch, so it’s securely held in place.

The opening of the bicycle drink holder has an elastic pull cord that adjusts to hold any shape of drink up to 3.25 inches in diameter.

Fits Any Handlebar

The clamp can be rotated 360 degrees to hold on at any angle and uses a grippy strip of rubber to keep it from slipping or rotating. The large adjustment range fits unusually small diameters up to large bars like a foam stroller handle or a drop bar road bike with thick tape. We’ve even seen it used on the grab bar of a motorcycle sidecar!
