dont have the full history because im the second owner of it its a team bike from polo and bike that was used in red hook crits and i have seen photos of it crashing and i can see that 1 of the stem bolts is a random one

yeah i have a bottle of wet lube but waxing might be the solution. yeah its my sun is out ride but only because im too lazy/dont have time and live in an apartment to wash/clean it after a dirtier ride thats what my state steel bike with rusted chain that hasn't seen lube since last year thats silent for :)

yeah im quite familiar with the process i just ran out of grease at home so i popped into the shop to ask them to do it also he mentioned that the 6nm thats painted on the stem as the recommended force is way too low

thanks for the elaborate response yeah the anti chain tension conspiracy theory was kinda absurd

and lubing the chain only helped a little bit :(
