What are you supposed to oil on bike?

Thanks for the answers. Tightening the screw on shifter did indeed
solve the floating problem. My tires are at 10 psi presently. I only
found a 32 on my tire. That seems like a good inflation but people take
about 100 psi plus. I recall my manual said min 90 but my tires did not
rotate at that pressure. my tires are 26 high and 50mm fat. i am 170
lbs.

I've never heard of a riding on tires inflated at 10 PSI. Perhaps your
pressure gauge is inaccurate. Also, I don't follow: free rotation of
wheels is independent of tire pressure. Would you please elaborate as
to why your wheels do not "rotate at that [90 lbs] pressure"?

Thanks

2) Oil Disc Brake Mechanism (1 or 2 Drops per)

Uh, which part? You shouldn't ever need to oil anything on a disc brake.

3) Oil chain by applying oil to a cloth and running the chain through
it.

The oil gets nowhere that it needs to.

6) Roam the trails

Ah, yes....

A few cable-operated cam-type units can benefit from a drop on the
cam. Some should *not* be oiled, though. RTFM before doing it.

Agreed. Oil the chain; use the cloth to wipe off the excess.

Ah, yes....

Seconded.

It almost sounds as if they are using another system of measuring
pressure.

I guess different tires have different psi requirements. There is a 32
on my rear tire and a 31 on the front tire. I can't find any other
numbers. When i inflated it up to 90 psi the rim pushed out side ways
and the brake trapped the tire.

I went out riding for 20 kms on about 26 psi and it was fine. My
pressure guage is accurate.

wider tires don't require nearly as much pressure. 45 psi is good.
10psi is low but you can ride fine.
