| I'm not saying this is right but what I have just finished doing was
to diassemble where possible and repack in grease. Where this was not
possible I flooded with oil until I had purged all the road dirt, then
removed the excess oil. Thuis I have one which is grease lubricated
and one oil...

| 2016.1 is correct. That's what the manufacturers use...

| I was down at the bike shop Saturday looking at the lubricants they
had. I was ready to buy a can of chain oil when I figured that the
price was probably a lot higher than going out and buy a can of A1 oil or
something I could get in a department store which might be the same
thing.
Soooo, the question I have is,... should I use specialty bike lubricants or
can I use other all around lubricants like WD40 ?
BTW, I'm taking about lubricants for hybrid bikes here.

| The cycling chain oils tend to be less viscous than A1 so as
not to attract as much dirt.
WD40 is very light, and serve casual riding needs okay.
There is some heavy stuff (I prefer) like Pedros that's heavy, but
doesn't dirty as readily. Phil's is also another choice.
Basically, keep it oiled and wiped down and just about anything will
do for what I believe you're looking for. You're right... If it's bike
stuff it'll cost more...

| I have been rideing my Univega Hybrid all winter, except when snow or
ice was on the road, making it to slippery. I had the same concern
about lubing the chain. I have been using WD40, and it seems to work
very well. When things get to dirty, I hold a rag around the chain and
turn the cranks. Another trick is to get a stiff brush and hold it on
the chain. That way you get the junk out from the inside.
My approach has been wipe it clean, lub it, and ride.
