Can vegetable oil be used as bicycle lubricant?

for the chain and other places on the bikeCan vegetable oil be used as bicycle lubricant?
Never ever use any vegetable-based lubes or vegetable oil on a bike. It will harden and become rancid. On top of that, it is mostly an anti stick agent, not a lubricating agent so although it might stop things from squeaking for a short time it doesn't stop the wear and doesn't do the job of a correct lubricant.





Other lubes not to use are 3 in 1 oil, silicone spray, WD40, Liquid Wrench, and motor oil. Can vegetable oil be used as bicycle lubricant?
Vegetable oil will get gummy and collect dirt. You should always use the proper lubricant. You should never oil a dirty chain, it will wash the grit into the pins and rollers.

for the chain maby, for other parts no. You should use 10W motor oil, eccept for the bearings in the tire system you need special lub. for them.
Some bicycle brake manufacturers recomend to use vegetable oil like a brake fluid on some disk brakes ......
