Got a squeaky bicycle chain and no oil visible in a tight spot? Save the day with Vaseline! For riders, this helpful trick is a lifesaver. During a ride, you can temporarily solve the problem of your bike chain becoming dry or squeaky by applying a tiny quantity of Vaseline to it.

In the interim, it serves as a temporary lubricant, smoothing out your ride and lowering noise and friction levels until you can purchase true chain oil. Vaseline should only be used in an emergency; it should not be used as a permanent replacement for routine bicycle maintenance. However, in a pinch, it will keep your travels moving and your wheels turning!
