Mobile Bike Wash

With mountainFLOW’s new Mobile Bike Wash, you can wash your bike literally anywhere! Whether you live in an apartment and don’t have access to a hose or you’re heading to the desert for a weekend of riding, the MBW has you covered.

Impressions => This is a pretty trick bike washer. It offers just enough water pressure and spray strength to wash your bike, removing dirt, debris, and crud, without any worries over frame or part damage. The portable battery-operated offers 60 minutes of usage, and has a 5-gallon capacity. I didn’t get to clean a bike, but I did spray around some rubber ducks in a kiddie pool. The kit comes with a Tank, a Quick-Connect Hose, and a Spray Nozzle. Sweet unit, perfect for road trips, day trips, and anywhere your bike might get dirty.

Available in July.

Plant-Based Water Bottle

The future of water bottles is here, again! Other bottles are made entirely of petroleum, but this one is made from plants! They feel the same and hold water the same, but are more sustainable. Comes in 700ml and 600ml versions.

  • Two Sizes:
    • Perfect Size: 600ml bottle fits most bottle cages!
    • Big Bottle for Big Hydration: A 700ml bottle is ideal for longer rides.

Bike Lube

Keep your drivetrain smooth and fast in every condition and season. All of the lubes are plant-based + biodegradable.

Bike Lube – Wax

Wax-based bike lube provides all the lubrication without any mess. Apply like a routine oil-based lube and allow 5 minutes to dry. Once dry, it will be bonded to the drivetrain, but it will not collect dirt or grime. Works best in dry and dusty conditions.

  • Sustainable: Plant-Based and Biodegradable
  • Petroleum-Free: Always 0% petroleum (Most chain lube is made from petroleum)
  • Easy to Apply: For a fast + smooth ride
  • Optimal Riding Conditions: Moderate to Dry

Perfect lube for the dusty and dry conditions of Colorado.

Bike Lube and Maintenance 

Their lubes also come in Wet, Dry, and All-Weather versions, along with a range of bike maintenance products, including Bike Wash and Grease, a Bamboo Cleaning Brush Set, Bike Polish, and more.

  • Wet Lube: For wet riding conditions. Great for winter fat biking.
  • All-Weather Lube: For mixed riding conditions. The all-around go-to.
  • Dry Lube: For use in dry or dusty conditions. Dries completely after application. Doesn’t collect dust and dirt.
  • Wax Lube: For dry to mixed conditions. Dries completely after application. Doesn’t collect dust and dirt. Coats the drivetrain in a super slippery blend of all-natural waxes.

Bike Wash and Grease

  • Bike Wash + Degreaser: Strong enough to degrease your drivetrain, yet gentle enough for use on the entire bike.
  • Bike Grease: For your non-drivetrain-related lubrication.

Bamboo Cleaning Brush – Set

Their 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 reach into all the nooks and crannies, loosening 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.
