by Godfather's Garage  

PRESS RELEASE: Godfather’s Garage

It all started in the garage – even for the Godfather.

Wade poured his life into mountain biking, and he’s taken his experience and knowledge from his time as a professional freerider to develop a series of products for riders everywhere.

Wade’s influence on the mountain biking community is onto its next chapter; Godfather’s Garage.

A line of high-performance products to give riders what they need to keep their bikes running smoothly in all conditions. When you combine Wade’s 35 years on two wheels with his unwavering passion for the sport, you can bet a quality product is born.

Whether it’s splashing down trails or diving in on dusty chutes, all-day pedals or relentlessly pounding shuttle laps, bikes take a beating. Godfather's Garage has what you need to keep your steed running smooth and the whole quiver in tiptop shape.

Godfather's Garage offers three different chain lubes, the standard wet and dry lubes, a lube specifically designed to meet the rigorous needs of an e-bike, and an all-purpose grease to cover most of your cycling lubrication needs. All of our products have been thoroughly tested on the North Shore through the thick dry dust of the summer and the relentlessly wet, dank days of winter.

And, it’s made right here in Canada to boot.

Dry Lube

A thick coating of dust on your drivetrain can cause pre-mature wear and a crunchy-feeling cadence. Godfather’s Garage DRY Lubricant is a specifically formulated, long-lasting lubricant designed to keep your drivetrain clean by repelling airborne dust rather than attracting them. It’s less viscous than our Wet Chain Lube, but remains tenacious enough to grip your links through the dog days of summer.

• Designed for dry, dusty conditions
• Low viscosity and dry feeling to touch
• Specifically formulated to repel contaminants
• Sustainably sourced natural base oils

Wet Lube


Godfather’s Garage WET lubricant is what you need for the nastiest of days. Vancouver’s North Shore sees over 2300mm of rain annually, which means that our WET lubricant has been tested extensively in harsh environments on some of the most demanding terrain in the world. The skies open up for nearly half of the year in these parts, mixing in grit and grime to every ride.

• Designed for nasty, wet weather riding
• High viscosity that helps protect your chain against water, crud, and mud
• Scientifically advanced additives bond deep into the metal surfaces of the chain, which helps to prevent corrosion.
• Sustainably sourced natural base oils
Godfather s Garage High in viscosity to help protect your chain against water crud and mud Scientifically advanced additives bond deep into the metal surfaces of the chain which help to prevent corrosion. Designed for nasty wet weather riding Sustainably sourced natural base oils Made in Canada

E-Bike Lube

E-bikes can be incredibly demanding on their drivetrains, which is why we created a dedicated chain lubricant just for them. High torque, long rides, and often running at a higher cadence that a traditional mountain bike, we knew we needed something special. The Godfather’s Garage E-BIKE lubricant coats the chain to help keep things running smoothly through those power moves, sustained climbs, and “one more lap” moments.

• Our most viscous chain lube is meant to penetrate and protect your chain against the demands of both e-bike drive systems and harsh riding environments
• Highest tenacity of any of our chain lubes
• Designed for high torque e-bike systems
• Great protection against the contaminants in all weather conditions

All-purpose Grease


Godfather’s Grease is specifically formulated to handle the rigorous demands of North Shore riding. This high-performance, multipurpose grease is perfect for bolts, bearings, threads, hubs, cables etc.

• Lithium Complex grease
• Protects against oxidation and corrosion
• Made in Canada, tested on Vancouver’s North Shore

Alongside some of the best, Godfather’s Garage is also a part of 1% for the Planet, a network of businesses that have dedicated a portion of their gross profits to combat pressing environmental issues.

Wade has always had a simple motto when freeriding; “Send it”, not much has changed for Godfather’s Garage - Lube it, Send it.

Currently, Godfather's Garage products are only available in Canada, but with hopes to be in shops across the US shortly. For more information on the Godfather's Garage line of lubrication products and to find your nearest dealer, visit godfathersgarage.com

To clarify honda50r, margin is pretty much the same for most bicycle products and no different for Godfather's Garage. We shoot for keystone margin. Our factory is in Canada.

 Yep-only a handful of companies make lubricants on any meaningful scale, so you just take a preexisting product already being made by the vatful and put another name on it. False choices.
  • 78 2
 You are correct wyorider in the fact that there are not many bulk lubricant suppliers, let alone sustainably sourced suppliers, the key is to work with one that can curate what you are exactly looking for - and this is wide-open regarding additives etc.
Your statement: so you just take a preexisting product already being made by the vatful and put another name on it. False choices. could be true for most products in the world. Say you wanted to start a fastfood restaurant, you would need meat and potatoes....what's different about your burger?

 Not sure if you ride ebikes shoreboy1866, but from our testing and experience, ebikes benefit from a heavier lubrication.
  • 9 2
 @AlejoBeletadpQ: There is really nothing to get AlejoBeletadpQ.We've found that ebikes put a much higher demand on drivetrains regardless of weather, hence ebike lube. All our lubricants will of course work on an ebike, simply speaking, the ebike specific lube will last longer before reapplying is necessary.
  • 6 0
 @wadesimmons: would the drivetrain last longer if you use e-lube on a non ebike?
  • 37 0
 @jaydawg69: Simply yes. We now get into other variables like attracting contaminants etc...but here is our lube line breakdown:
Dry lube is generally less tenacious to attract less airborne containment's like dust etc, but will not last as long on the chain.
Wet lube is more tenacious than dry to adhere to the chain better when operating in a wet environment. It will bead water off.
Ebike lube is the most tenacious. We found that with the added torque from the motor, combined with our extreme conditions found here on the Shore, we needed a lube that would provide good long lasting protection. The downside, is that the drivetrain may get more mucked up, but we thought that is a minor effect compared to the added protection on an expensive drivetrain.

 Reading these comments makes me want to isolate my self from mountain bikers. Whining, complaining, nothing nice to say. It’s like when I hear people at the trailhead having conversations about there bikes geometry. Mtb used to be punk rock. When asked what the best chain lube is, there is a simple answer, any, just use it regularly. So if you would rather support wade, who has the nick name godfather for a reason buy his lube. Or support whoever you want.

 How much money is there to be made in the bicycle grease market?
I work on my own bikes and many friends' bikes and a tube of grease lasts me at least 5 years, and then because I lost it or stepped on it on the shop floor. For most of us, the days of repacking hub, BB or headset bearings are long gone (or never happened at all). My primary use of grease has dwindled to the occasional tiny dab for assembly (pedal threads, bolt threads, etc) so quality is nearly irrelevant and quantity used is negligible.

 @pakleni: kind of. Its like motor oil and gas too. Its the same but has different additives…. Is one better than the other? Some say yes.

I needed some, didn't need enough to make a big enough cart to make it worth it to order from the online store that sells squirt…. So i have mukoff.

 @nickfranko: Maybe it's hard if you've never worked on...well, much of anything. Best get the shop to do all your maintenance if this is hard.

Besides, the topic for this mini discussion is BB/headset bearings, which don't need much beyond decent waterproof grease. The only thing in common with the product on this page is that people feel the need to use bike specific products, which just isn't true and a waste of money in most cases.

Not that it matters, but I do use a well-regarded (bike specific) wax based chain lube purchased in a big bottle for ~1/3 the price of the stuff here because there is a difference in that case.
  • 4 5
 this is not for bike shops, it's only available in small packs and 25% more expensive than other MTB rated lubes (that are also made in Canada, no china BS here ). So this is for the average Joe that doesn't mind overpaying for a product with an MTB label on it

 We have been selling GG lube and grease for over a month now (had it since the soft launch), and while there was no way in hell we weren't going to support our local legend, we're super happy with the product itself regardless. Our favorite so far is the dry lube and it easily surpasses the experience we have with any of the big brands that we also carry, both on our personal bikes and through the customers' experiences in the service shop.

Congratulations Wade! Like I said, we would be happy to support you with any product, but the fact that this lube line is excellent on its own merits makes it even better. Cheers! - NSBS

 That is great to hear north-shore-bike-shop!! Thank you for the support. We did a lot of product testing before we were confident to launch the brand, the product needed to be competitive if I was going to put my name on it. After all, I have a legacy to uphold which was built on quality, and integrity, and a healthy dose of sending it. Wade

 Q1: Though, I can not answer that question with any sense of knowing the true answer shirk-007, I can guarantee that there is a direct correlation between riding more and one's skill increasing, which may be a direct result of using the Godfather lube.

Q2: Again, related to Q1's answer, the more one gets out and rides, the chances are greater to find any secret Shore trail. Or you can just use the Gaia basemap on a certain application.

 I happened to need some more lube and saw this in the shop when I was there so I picked some up. So far it seems to work really well - stays on better than some others I've tried. It's chain lube. It does the job. My biggest complaint would be the bottle it comes in. It's quite stiff, so it's actually hard to get the lube out of the bottle at times. I try to do the "one drop per link" method, but it takes a fair amount of effort to squeeze the bottle enough to actually get a drop to form & I find I often accidentally squeeze too hard & apply way too much, or miss links.

I did not bother getting the ebike specific lube though, even though I do have an ebike. Just seemed like pure marketing to me.
  • 6 0
 Thanks for the support beestrangler! And we appreciate the feedback. I wish I had the patience for the one-drop per link method as you do, but I'm more of the quick blast and wipe off the excess style. We also tested many nozzles, and found this one the all-around favourite. As for bottles, we found the softer ones were susceptible for squeezing too hard and having the oil come out too fast, so we went with the stiffer one. Quick note, you can vary the nozzle opening to adjust flow rate. Wade
  • 1 0
 @wadesimmons: Did you use the same bottle as Mint'N Dry and the same nozzle as Whistler Park Lube? If you did that's perfect, because the Mint'N Dry nozzle has too much flow and I also once twisted the whole lid off instead of twisting the nozzle open and... well.

Regardless I'm now using the WPL nozzles on my Mint'N Dry bottles. Until I get some Godfathers Garage course.

 Thanks bcbikeman!! I was definitely lucky on the freeride timing. MTB is my life, so creating a brand was a natural evolution. I understand people may be thinking why lube, and my answer to that is this: I've been lubing my chain basically everyday, one day not long ago, it crossed my mind, 'what's the story behind this?'.......now I know! Lube it. Send it.

 So this dude is a legend, I got that. But what makes this lube better than another local brand with a fully biodegradable lineup WPL? Why are these stuff 25% more expensive and grease ( the cheapest of them all? ) is only sold in a small package? Universal grease should be available in 500ml size as it is being used everywhere.

 Unlike some of the others above who may not be re-greasing bearings enough, my Park Tool grease tube is empty (after 3 years) so I'll grab some of this to try. I think I am out of dry lube as well.

 @ShawMac: in your opinion is regular polylube good enough for bearings or that more expansive one is worth 200% of the price?
  • 1 0
 @valrock: Depends on my mood that day. Logic tells me that "bike grease" is not anything special over the various types of automotive/marine greases that have 100+ years of development and much cheaper pricing due to volume and competition. There is always the right grease for the specific application, and for half the price you get about a 40 year supply Big Grin

But if I am feeling a little patriotic for a made in Canada grease, $15 spread over 3 years isn't going to break me. Hopefully the tube is easier to empty than the park tool one. I swear there is still 25% of the grease still in the parktool tube I just can't squeeze out when I need it.

 @wadesimmons Thrilled to be part of the Northshore community eager to support. Longtime home mechanic and service provider to my homies. Very interested in a larger container order option to allow for refilling of smaller application bottles. Hoping its less wasteful. Also very interested in whether you and your team have looked at a prescribed chain application process that optimizes performance, reduces fouling and supports long term chain life and performance.

Currently cleaning chain and applying drops on each roller, rotating well and then removing excess. Still going through lots of lube with 10-15 riders in our group cycling through our home shop.

 What is the dry lube made from?
Is it water based? Does it contain some ptfe shit to f*ck up the environment or does it use biologically degradable wax?
  • 5 1
 Yep, my questions as well. I already use Whistler Performance Lubes, grease and ForBoost Lube... all of which is biodegradable, non-toxic, and PTFE-free. And for me, also fairly local... also happens to be a bit cheaper than Godfather. So far I don't have a compelling reason to switch.

 I can answer these questions bashhard. Godfather's Garage lube is not water based, the base oil is sustainable sourced natural oils. We use no ptfe's and is not wax based. Like any respectable company, I cannot reveal our secrets, but you can take comfort in the fact that we prioritize sustainable business practises including participating in the 1% for the planet program.

 To answer your question based of The Godfather’s response it’s not PTFE but doesn’t rule out other PFAS. Many friends in the fossil fuel industry use this term as well, “sustainably sourced natural oil” ie: fossil fuel, petroleum, black gold. I’ll stick with my Squirt wax emulsion for now, maybe check out the grease if he gets into US distro, at least it’s 1% for the planet

 Well, I can't advise that usage Sshredder! That would be wasting a great bottle of lube, and possibly a good ebike.........unless some of the lube got on the drivetrain first. Pour ebike.

 This will answer the question once and for all. Does @brianpark love Wade Simmons or dumonde tech more ??

 Great stuff Wade. How about a knee lube? That's the creakiest part of the ride for folks our age. How 'bout it?

 Stoked for you, Wade! So asking the real questions here: does it smell as good as dumonde tech?

 That first picture of Wade tells me this is the most badass, manly chain lube ever made.

 We have no plans for Godfather's Garage to go B2C. We like to support the bike shops. If customers choose to order from them, then that would be an option. Cheers, Wade.

 @wadesimmons how can we get these in the Uk?
  • 1 0
 Thanks for the UK stoke! European distribution is on the radar but will take time. We are planning a slow stable growth. I suspect that you could visit godfathersgarage.com site and find a dealer with a great B2C network that could ship you product. Cheers, Wade

 @wadesimmons: You'd be fighting it out with Peaty. Would it be worth piggybacking Rocky Mountain's distribution channels over here? Good luck with the range. Will be keeping an eye out for it at LBS's

 The real question here is: Does Godfather’s garage make me a better rider??

 I'm going to give the dry lube a try, and maybe a "Lube it Send it" t-shirt. would be sweet.

 If only there was a solution to keep you chain clean?
Just cover your gears & save your drive & use less lube!

 I agree aljoburr, I have been cleaning drivetrains for more than 35 years buddy......but I guess it's part of mountain biking. I hate doing dirty laundry too....but ai still ride in the mud.

 WPL is the only name you need to know. Best products ever!
  • 1 1
 It's probably WPL in another packaging. If I was from BC releasing these products my first phone call would go to WPL... Doesn't matter, of course there are no 1000 manufacturers of chain lube, it's fine.

 @makkelijk84: I can confirm that Godfather's Garage product is not affiliated with WPL.
