I oil my fixed gear the same as I do the rest of my bikes. I apply one drop of oil (Valvoline 10W30) to each rivet of the chain. I apply it to the bottom run of the chain (the one below the chainstay). When I get all the rivets, I spin the crank several times to work it in. I then wipe off the excess with a rag.

This is a question to people who use wax base lubes like White Lightning. I have friends who clean their chains then apply alot of this stuff. Then, when I ride with them, I swear it sounds like birds chirping. Does this mean they are not using it correctly or is this normal.

When I hear that high pitch sound, it tells me that is metal on metal without lube. Am I missing something??

Has anyone else experienced this???
