Lubricants for your bikes working parts

[Paulst12]

What do you use to lubricate the balance of the working parts on your bike? I know there has been a lot of debate on chain lubricants, but do you use the same ones on your pedals, derailers etc so that your bike doesn’t look like this?

 

It may not be a favourite but Q20 has helped me keep the bike in top shape.

I use WD40. Got a new chain lube for wet conditions. I used a oil based lube and used that on all the other stuff as well as on the chain.

I don't lube other bits on the bike because once you do, you need to keep doing it. Only on the MTB do I drop a bit of chain lube on the pedal's tension springs.

 

@Cois, WD40 is not lube. It's a water displacement fluid.

Oil, nothing but oil. A light drop of Q20 for everything from chain to brakes. I tried that wax lube stuff once - what an unholy sticky, *** mess.

Aah that is why it works when it is wet. Thanks Mampara

The hardest working part on my bike is lubed with beer!

Mostly elbow grease but it is hard to come by
