Stuff to Love

LuBRiCaTiON.mAgIC (:

Lub’n it Up puts a smooth glide in the Joint.

11 years, 75+thousand miles has worn out the perfection of engineered tolerances and has  jacked a rattle into the jimmy.  All the pivot points in my Campy Record Ergo levers have gotten sloppy in their old age and vibrate like hell with an annoying rattle.  For a while now I’ve had to finger the mechanisms [levers] to keep the vibration noise to a minimum.

When the shifting got a little sticky I sprayed it with WD40.  To my amazement the lever rattle has diminished about 90%.

Amazing what a little lubrication gets you.

Te qUiero Animaux!
