I know some are thinking this is another Accy Cyclist stupid question/wind up thread,but it isn't. The stuff seriously works..well it does for me! My bike was squeaking and grinding ,crying out for lubrication. Just before my ride i poured about a level tablespoonful of olive oil over the cassette,turning the rear wheel to distribute in evenly. Don't do it in the house as you'll get olive oil on your carpet. Then i simply set off and let the oil work its way over the chain and free wheel. The squeaking was gone after about 30 seconds,giving out a smooth running sound. Surely the stuff can;t do any harm to the bike as we put it into our stomachs? I know some might say it picks up grit and stuff,but so does stuff like GT85. Even the so called non oily lubes have picked up grit on my chains in the past.
