After tough season training and racing in accordance with the CONI manua l, you hang your bike up at the end of the season.

Spring comes around, and it is time to start training again. You move th e oil hole cover and squirt some oil in to revitalize the grease.

This will be commented on I am sure, but from what I understand, oil was preferred instead of grease on track hubs used on a velodrome. (Kind of like the graphite lube secret weapon thing on pinewood derby axles mayb e?)
