When oiling a bicycle, what you really look for are moving parts. We can understand moving parts as metal parts that move in contact with each other.
It is very important to use light-duty, bicycle-specific lubricants, not unknown oils. Do not make the oil too thin or too thick.
Refueling position to pay attention to - chain: It is the main transmission part of the bicycle, which needs extreme care and needs to be oiled frequently. Regular cleaning of your chain is necessary depending on the driving conditions.
Derailleur: The front and rear derailleurs are the parts that move the chain when shifting. They need to be kept clean and lubricated so they don't stick together or become stiff. It is recommended to check the derailleur for proper operation when pedaling the shift, and then lubricate the moving parts, including the mounting pivots, with lubricating oil.
Brake and shift cables: These are responsible for transmitting your braking and shifting behavior. If they are not lubricated in time and rust or stick, you won't be able to stop or change gears smoothly. Check often, especially if you are riding in dusty or wet conditions.
Brake and shift levers: This is a key part of brakes and shifting. Drop 1-2 drops of lubricating oil on their turning points and on the adjusting nut to ensure normal operation, then wipe off excess oil to prevent dust adsorption.
Brake device: some of its turning points are hard to find, you can squeeze the brake handle to find the turning position. The places where these metal parts move relative to each other need to be lubricated.
Pedal: Put a few drops of oil on the place where the pedal is connected to the crank, let the oil lubricate the rotating part, and wipe off the excess oil.
