wait a minute.. your still obessive with oil while riding the bike!! Doesn't your bike need oil too? What kind of oil do you use? I use used Motor Oil to lube up my Gary Fisher Mountain bike!! Works great.

Well, I use a "dry lube" on the chain & Park Tools grease where applicable.
Oh, yeah the air fork does use oil in one leg. I think it's 10W or 20W, I've got the service manual somewhere. It is still on '03 factory fill fork oil. ![[No no]](/forums/graemlins/nono.gif)
Now I'm going to have to obsess over changing it. Thanks for the reminder.
BTW, I had a '99 Gary Fisher Aquila steel hardtail before getting the Ellsworth in the photo. I'll post a pic of my old Fisher.

I have a 2004 Specialized HardRock Sport (Metallic Silver) myself. I'm using Havoline 5W-30 for chain lube. Wonder what you folks are using?
I just got into biking. I got a Giant Cypress for xmas. I don't know what kind of oil to use on the chain though. This is my first real bike. I did take it to the shop for a tune up. he used some kind of dry lube from a can on the chain? he said something about teflon. ![[Eek!]](images/icons/shocked.gif)
