Would motor oil suit for use on bearings?

Singer oil works great. Its cheap, too.

Well.. actually i did do this and i am happy with the results.

It is pretty thick but it makes the ride super smooth and depending on what kind of DH you do your bearings will never over heat

The even better part about it is you buy a 2 liter bottle of synthetic motor oil for 4.99 which will last you forever! rather than bones speed cream which will run out if you clean your bearings every month. ( which your supposed to do )

Just get a visine drooper bottle and put ONE drop in it and your good to go!

hope this helps!
