Oiling every day keeps the bike mechanics away

About a week ago, i replaces my rear derailer, again. One of the cogs was
badly worn. The main reason for replacement was also due to the fact my
chain was skipping. I hadnt oiled in a week, and have been riding to and
form work on salted roads.

So, every morning I coat my chain with 80W90 Gear oil. Has the viscosity of
honey.

Over the last couple of days i have gained back some more gear choices that
dont skip. I had one that would not skip, now, almost all dont skip.

Lesson learned. LUBE YOUR CHAIN

Lesson learned. DON'T WASTE TIME POLISHING A TURD.

I can't remember the last time I oiled my chain and I can't remember the
last time my gears skipped.

Hmmm... Same here. Although, I have to hose out the sand every now and
then, but only because I can't stand the grinding noise.

One you didn't learn though - DON'T THROW AWAY A ****ING DERAILEUR JUST
BECAUSE OF A WORN OUT JOCKEY WHEEL. HTH ',;~}~

I bin deraileurs when the jockeys wear out simply because they have reached
the sloppy poor changing point by that time, either through on-trail
abuse/rocks/log clipping or through lack of maintenance. Not worth my time
to be faffing with unpolishable turds.
