Is that the Canuckistan version of 3-in-one? Isn't that vegetable oil?

oil on the chain
air in the tires

something basic that people all over the world need to learn about their bikes

amazes me that third world cultures who can be so bike dependent
are so blind to the use of air and oil

no...
I am not calling canada a third world country
reflecting more on my limited travel experience

more than one person hinted that 3-in-1 oil isn't really all that good to put on chains. I've always used it, without a problem (though I prefer 10W30) - anyone else have strong opinions?

Also, in the coaster brake hub, do you put oil or grease in the nipple?

World Courier Champ Simone uses 3 in 1 oil exclusively as far as I know. But, hey, the road salt eats all anyways.
