Great Question.
I was wondering if anyone as got there swekers oiled? Do they need to be oiled? My bike makes clicking noise sometimes and want to fix it. Not sure of where noise is coming from. Thanks

I would only oil them when the parents are not around. They might find it odd to see you oiling those.

I think you've broken the bottom bracket area with your massive, preastoric Jan Ulrich guads. Go eat some water.

If a skewer is clicking, it's probably not tightened down enough. Besides a little grease on the threads you shouldn't need to lube anything.

Try oiling your tires and rims. That usually helps.

So is it a stupid question to ask at the LBS?
