I love the lubrication :)
 
I've had massive noise coming from either the front drive train or the pedals....i couldn't figure it out. I thought maybe the crank was failing as the bike is 20 years old. I thought I should try some lube before taking it to the mechanic. Lubed up the chain, drive train front/back and pedals....and voila.. she is silent as quite as a mosquito...:) She will get an overhaul in October to be ready for the winter.

Anyhow..just wanted to share this :)

You might also check the crank bolts...

So, you hadn't given it any lube in 20 years?

Ahn...i'd give her the odd chain lube...but that was about it. In fact, the pedals and crank probably have been without lube for about 20 years or so...

All good ladies need a lube here and there :)

She's been faithful to me all these years and has never left me stranded!!!
