Lube, Grease, and Whatnot
Maurice Snail:
I'm looking at this thread and I'm looking at the rusty bolts on my stem and now I'm clicking the previous page button a few times.
badlight:
I just throw Pedros Ice-wax into everything, except my seat and steertube. Hubs roll smooth. Headset too.
Not Danny Tanner:
I use a big tube of grease I stole from work. It's used for greasing pivot points on heavy machinery, so I don't think it's all too tech.
I was always partial to dripping some triflow down my cable housing.
Andy-roo:
i like my dry white lightning in cables.
as for hubs and everything, i use a 10 year old bucket of multipurpose grease in a tub from canadian tire. gets the job done. no problems as of yet. plus its green, so it looks alot better then that icky yellow stuff.
uck:
Use linseed oil on spokes when building a wheel.Its sticky when it dries.
