oil old and modern bikes
On old bikes, it is very easy to oil the two
front bearings, the pedals, the crank, and the rear hub. In particular the crank and the rear hub work wonders just by a couple of drops, the pedals are more a comfort thing, and I don't how how much an affect it has on the front bearings. Anyway I always do it people often say they experience a "whole new bike", probably because of this, the degreasing of the chainrings/sprockets, and the new chain. One can even get in new grease into the pedals and the two front bearings with a little fiddling. On modern bikes the only thing I have oiled so far, with chainsaw oil, is the casette, chain, and chainrings. The pedals I can oil, but that doesn't count because I replaced the modern onces with traditional, so I can still use my crocs. So is there anything one can/should oil without picking stuff apart, which obviously I won't do unless there is some concrete problem that's noticable when one rides the bike? Oh yeah, the QR if they get stuck... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
