I wouldn't use either of those products. Baby oil *might* be okay, but Armor All's silicone breaks down rubber products over time. I tried Lexol leather conditioner and it seemed to help and not do any damage. I have also read that Brooks Proofide works well...

> thanks to all who had sources for the "O" rings, you're a generous bunch. next question, can you recondition old campy gum hoods that still look useable?? I'll make sure and group my questions next time. I've heard of baby oil?? Armorall?? and wanted to check with the "pro's" before I experiment.
