Using ATF (automatic transmission fluid) I found works great for those old rollers. There was the 6 ounce can of Sturmey Archer oil for $1.00. Or a quart of ATF - the "pink stuff" - for $1.00. I never did use up that quart - before some bald guy in a Porsche stole my bike from my garage at 3:00am.....GRRRRRRRR........
