lubing up 1930's style?
I'm currently 'recalling' a 1936 Rudge Roadster and would appreciate knowing which oil/grease to apply to the following areas:
#1 Front hub, which has the usual brass-lidded oil port of this era.
Somewhere I read grease preferable to oil for a front hub y/n?
I have a grease-gun used for lubing the front forks of my mtb; do/don't use this? Better still use..?
#2 Bottom bracket brass lidded oil port.
Maybe some water has crept in when cleaning the frame but the cranks are now showing resistance when rotating the pedal. I need to apply how much of which oil here?
#3 The Sturmey Archer AW rear hub.
I did ride the bike when I collected and found the gears easily.. leave alone (i.e. don't flush out) and just drizzle some 30w engine oil in the port?
Hope this is the correct forum and not C&V, waiting to lube up so oil answers appreciated.
