Trying to decide which oil to start running in new bike. I like to start off with a good oil and stick with it.
Casters smell good but are dirty and tend to gum things up. Ideally for trail work you want a synthetic/semi synthetic with a relatively low flash point. This will provide good lubing without too much gumming/carbon/spooge. Going top of the line using ends up with a high flash point which means half the oil ends up coming out the exhaust.
