Good stuff though, used it to do best bike's headset yesterdayjames_from_stoke":3orko1yv said:I have in the shed a very old tub of Castrol motor oil. Its thick, yellow gunge, and very few things can compel it to break down - its even pretty immune to degreaser.
It doesn't roll terribly quickly, but for my commuting bike I love the stuff, and it doesn't need changing too often.
Pretty cheap too - I have a tub kind of the size of a hammerite tin and it lasts for ages.
Not proper bikes stuff, but I haven't had any issues
For my faster bikes I prefer something a little lighter and less industrial though![]()
Oddly enough mine is inherited from Dad's shed too
