gears

[mad man]

I was wondering if i should put gear lube on the gears that are on the side of the gears plate or i should leave it.

What about chain lube to use on metal gears like this?

Ivory soap will help them wear in and stop making so much noise.

Lube will attract dirt and make them wear out faster.

I don't understand, is Ivory soap better to use?

Can you provide any link, I don't know what it is..

Thanks

Its just 100% natural soap, and just helps quiet the gears down. http://ivorysoap.tumblr.com/

You will get various opinions about the lube and if it helps.

OK, it reduces noise , but does it reduces wear, is it better to use than nothing?

Sorry, English is not my native language .

I use Moly grease

The grease flings off and leaves a coating of Moly to lube the gears

soap is actually a good idea it has natural lube in it, I have tried dry lubes on a lot of things and it works but does not last long.

Dry lube didn't work for me either nor did my bike chain lube which I was sure would do the job
