<< Back To FAQ's I've used my Pedlar® a while, and it began to squeak. Should I oil it?   Occasionally, especially after heavy use or when the resistance is very tight, the hub will produce a squeak/squeal. This is easy to remedy with a quick squirt of any good silicone lubricant (like WD-40®) into the hub. You can just remove the tension knob for easy access to the correct area, add a little silicone, then line up the threads and screw it back in. Don't over-do it with the silicone, though - a little goes a long way!   View all Pedlar FAQs & Answers
