RyanMcVicker Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I am about to build up a new wheel but i don't have any tri-flow or linseed oil to put on the nipples/rim eyelets... Is Prolink chain lube close enough or should i wait till i get some linseed oil? thanksRyan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Anything will do as long as you lubricate it really, I just use whatever is in the red squirty can. I think I put 10w40 in there last but can't be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I used butter once, worked well! Mum wasn't too pleased, either ask first or don't get caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I would have thaught any lube would be ok to lube up your nipples. You could even use Vaseline.Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam F Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Anything thats greasy/slippery would work i guess Edited May 26, 2009 by Sam F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 i put a drop of cheap wilco's bike lube down each nipple, i've nt had a stiff spoke with any of my wheels doesn't really matter with trials cause you should be replacing the rims+spokes far more frequently than roadiers and mtbers...
