Oiling pivot points?

[Catrin]

I do the same. They get a thorough cleaning and lube when I clean the chain. Brake calipers also.

You also want to put a drop of oil on the jockey wheel axles.

jockey wheel axles? Guess it is time for me to learn the smaller parts of my bike.

I do have ProLube left - though I no longer use it on the chain. Is it appropriate for these other places or should I use Tri-Flow? The Tri-Flow is a lighter oil and while I can't seem to find the little straw applicator that came with it the mouth seems small enough for use.

Thanks - I will do this right now!

I think these are the 2 little wheels that are part of the rear derailleur mechanism.

Again going by what my mechanic tells me, Tri-Flow is good for the moving parts that aren't the chain (and he says it's ok for the chain although he prefers me to use something else based on the kind of grit & weather I encounter in the type of riding I do). It is less messy with the little straw but you can do it without. Just be sure to wipe any oil off your rims.
