| Even bacteria like Squirt |
In a recent biodegradability study, it was shown that bacteria like Squirt – a lot !
Squirt has passed certain specified screening tests for ultimate biodegradability; these tests are so stringent that it is assumed that compounds, such as Squirt, will rapidly and completely biodegrade in aquatic environments under aerobic conditions. To be in the highest bracket of biodegradability, a product must degrade 60% in the first 28 days, Squirt reached over 80%.
The carrier substance in Squirt is water and it contains no harmful organic solvents which probably makes it the safest and greenest chain lube available!

| Debra Corbeil wins Tour d'Afrique |
|
Debra Corbeil from Canada won the 2008 Tour d'Afrique adventure/race form Cairo to Cape Town in fine style finishing eighth overall.
Squirt was the only lube I used during my 12,000km bike race through Africa. Its long lasting effects helped me make it through blowing sands in Sudan, mud in Tanzania and 207km rides in Botswana. My bike shifted smoothly and effectively in the mountains and it kept my gears performing in top condition throughout the Tour d'Afrique.

| Conrad Stoltz wins Xterra Worlds again |
| In the toughest encounter of his life, Conrad fought off all the challenges thrown at him to win in fine style. |
|
|
|
|
This is how the race unfolded:
What an epic battle. My game plan of killing everyone on the bike and
jogging it in went out the window as my Sydney Olympics breakaway
buddy Olivier Marceau rode the less than technical course
brilliantly, and we started the run neck in neck. I've raced Olivier
many many times over the last 15 years and never have I even come
close to outrunning him. So I told myself, 'Pucker up, this is going
to be the toughest run of your life'.
The 1st mile I stuck to him like a bushveld tick, and as we hit the
1st big climb he dropped off the pace, first I though he was playing
games, but when I turned the screws his footsteps faded quickly and a
little miracle happened.
It was a star studded field with the Olympic silver medalist, (Bevan)
5 Olympians and a number of past champions. Victory was really really
sweet. Especially after last years' trials and tribulations. Actually
the last 5 years of paying my dues here in Maui.
Conrad use Squirt as his lube of choice. |
