Bicycle oil

Recommended Posts

All you biking experts, which oil or lubrication you use in the bicycles?

I'm picking my bike today after 6 months of resting, chain and gear sprocket looks pretty dry and dusted.

If you got some lightweight engine oil lying around you can use that in a bind.

But spin the tires a bit before usage unless you want oil rooster tails all over the place

Don’t use grease or oil, this will attract dirt and you’ll get a black heavy chain.

Use dry ptfe instead, you can get it at ACE. 
 

Put the bike upside down, or hang it. Spray it on the chain and all moving parts, swing a few times the peddle, take an old cloth, spray it again on the chain and swing a few time the peddle while you’re grasping the chain with the cloth. This will clean the chain.
